1. Look For a Good Source Of Inspiration

Ordinary people may think that a logo is a logo but do not realize that there are different types of logos when it comes to a symbol for a business. In the world of logo design, you can distinguish logos into three types, namely abstract logos, logos that illustrate what your business does, and also font-based or type-only logos. These three types of logos can provide three different images for your business.

An abstract logo might be more suitable for businesses that want to appear more trendy and hip. A logo that has an illustration of the line of business and expertise of the brand will be suitable for any type of business but is most suitable for small businesses that are just starting. While the type-only logo, which only contains the typeface of the business name, will be more suitable for a simpler appearance.

Before you design the logo you want, you must first choose which concept you want, according to the image you want to give to the public. You can first research how these types of logos will be perceived by the public and which ones can best describe your pet business's brand positioning.

4. Keep It Simple

The main mistake that many beginners make when they load their logo design is using too many illustrations, elements, typefaces, or objects that are too complex. Many beginners use a splashy-style typeface that is also placed with a similarly styled icon mark. If executed properly, the appearance may be pleasing to the eye and produce a creative concept.

But most people will be more interested in seeing a logo design that is professional, neat, clean, and not too overcrowded with various elements or objects. So, the safest way when you want to create your business pet logo design is to use a simple and simple design concept so that it looks more professional and pleasing to the eye.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't use complex elements, have lots of colors, or have lots of detail. The use of this element is still highly recommended if you want to produce a striking appearance, but also pay attention to the balance of these various elements.

In addition, this simple and minimalistic display concept is more timeless and not easily out of trend. This way, your logo will always be relevant and not out of style, so you don't need to rebrand your logo often in the future. Rebranding a logo is not only a long and time-consuming process, but it is also difficult.

5. Create Your Own Pet-Related Elements

When designing a logo for a pet business, the shapes or illustrations that will appear are animal shapes. Whether it's just one animal, the shape of the figure, or a group of animals, surely this illustration will appear when you make a design for a pet business. Using illustrations and shapes is a very good thing because it can directly reflect your line of business to the public.

However, you also have to be brave to explore shapes or illustrations that can make your pet business logo more prominent and different than competitors and also use the same type of illustration. The addition of several variations of detail in the illustration that you want to include in your logo design can be a wonderful idea that you can try.

Some professionals use a variety of details in the form of whitespace in their illustrations and design objects to give a unique and different look. Creative use of whitespace can also produce a more authentic and memorable logo for your customers. Not only from the use of whitespace, but you can also explore style variations and other additional details that can make the animal illustration in your logo design shine compared to other pet business logos.

Using the right tools should be one of your top priorities when you create a logo design. With the right tools, you can more freely express the ideas that are in your head and make them come true through these tools. You don't need to buy professional tools, but using tools that have complete features and assistance to support your design process can be one of the keys to the effectiveness of the logo you design in the future.

If you can spend a fairly expensive budget on software, you can use Adobe Illustrator to help you design the logo of your dreams. Although the price is quite pricey, the features offered are very worth it, very complete, and easy to use.

7. Apply The Right Color Palette

Although all pet businesses offer services related to pet animals, each business certainly has different branding and positioning values ​​according to its image and brand. There is a pet business that targets executives, so they position their brand with a variety of luxurious, exclusive, and luxurious styles. There are also pet businesses that want to appeal in a way that is friendly and welcoming to anyone so that they display bright colors and soft designs to attract customers.

The color palette is one of the main elements in a logo design that can set the tone and display your brand positioning optimally. If you want to appear in a more professional and reliable style, you can use a corporate color palette such as blue, green, and so on. If you want to appear flashy and fun, then you can use a bright and colorful palette.

Although the color palette you choose is not the only factor that will determine your business image later, the presence of the color you choose in your logo design can help your logo appearance become even more effective. The colors in your design can bring to life the values ​​and positioning that you have displayed in your design concept.

To find the right color plate, you can start by looking at the inspiration for the color plate you like, both from the internet and from objects around you. Look for 3-4 colors that can describe your business well, make sure to choose a color from a different range; dark, medium, and light.

8. Adding More Personality With The Right Fonts

The colors, objects, and typefaces in your logo design all have the same position in determining the tone and appearance of your logo later. The font style you use in your logo design will greatly change the theme and identity that your logo displays, so you have to be careful in the process of choosing this font style.

This will be more prominent if you use a type-only logo where the main element in your design is the typeface of your brand name. You must be able to choose a font style that can reflect well the identity and brand positioning that you have planned.

9. Adjust The Tagline Placement

The tagline in a logo design is an optional thing; you can add or not a tagline under your business name to further explain the expertise or service you offer. There are lots of pet businesses that use taglines to make their logo and business as a whole more memorable in the minds and hearts of the public.

A funny or interesting tagline will become a distinctive identity of the business that will be remembered by customers. However, in your logo design, the tagline is a less prominent element than the business name or symbol of your brand. So if you want to display the tagline in your logo design, pay attention to its appearance, don't let it stand out more than your name and symbol.

This can be done by using a typeface that is not too flashy or the display size of the tagline that is made smaller than the name of your business. Most importantly, when people see your logo, they should be interested in seeing your name and symbol first, then your tagline, not the other way around.
