Logos
A logo is a brand or SYMBOL, (branding your company), which gives your company a representation of
itself from its products, purpose, messages etc… which PORTRAYS THE VALUES AND GOALS
OF YOUR COMPANY…
Having a logo provides your business or company with an INSTANT RECOGNITION of who you are and what you sell/are all about/offer. “Your logo is like a small ad for your company, without the strategy behind it a logo can put
across the wrong message and in return weaken your strategy. You want to keep your brand message consistent to help increase consumer recognition”
