• Logo colors
• Logo colors are not about what is your favourite
  color but it should be about what your products
  or services wants to convey to the viewer.
• Color Selection
• Colors speak thats true, each color conveys
  different message they have strong bond with each
  other.
• How many colors to use?
• We have come across single multi color logos
  that are super successful. Colors limited to one
  or two in a logo is advisable. If you are
  designing a multi color logo try the same in
  single color too.

  are just an eye candy giving pain to the retina
  if not used properly.
• Test it from multi dimensions
• Test your logo by viewing it from different
  angles, up down, sideways just to make sure
  that it is no different from what you were going
  to make.
• Dont throw away your rough sketches

  the rough sketches. Who knows when your approved
  logo gets disapproved?
