- Follow your corporate color theme.
- Choose a design that is scalable.

- Keep your logo design simple. It should be easy to memorize.
- Try and incorporate your business name, message or sell line.
- Make sure that the logo fits your stationery and all marketing promotional materials.
- Keep in mind the adaptability make sure that your logo is made with the flexibility to adapt to all business situations, markets, etc.
- Don't stick with one design, create as many as you can; show them to your family or friends and ask them what they think of them; tell them to be honest. Don't be dissapointed if they don't like them...just try again until you're happy with your design. Another test is to show it to someone for a short time (i.e 3 seconds) and them ask them to draw it. If they can remember most of it then it is memorable. If they're lost about what to draw...then try another design.
- Finally try to use Illustrator for your logo design. Many of the industries out there is utilizing this software for its vector shapes (aka. no pixels).
