KJAM Logo Development-EXAMPLES
http://web/stockdale/binsfeld/logo_design_project_kjam_2007.htm
Everything should line up with something.
Before you start on your Final Logo
ask yourself these questions…
Is it legible?
If your logo contains text it should be as easy to read as possible.
Does your logo design have Balance, Unity, Contrast?
If it does not contain these elements it is not a good design.
Try not to make it too long. A square shape is better.
What about rhythm, depth, variety, white space, metamorphosis?
Although these elements are not required for a good design sometimes trying to integrate these elements will add more style and character to the design.

Tips for Designing a business card
Design in Black and White first– then create a color version from your black and white design.
All Black and White designs- No Color and no shades of gray
Corner all Text and objects
Your elements should be the same distance from the two edges it is cornered in.
S:\1202\graphic_arts\buscard_letterhead_env_grid.ai
Keep all three logos the same size (bus card/ letterhead/ envelope).
Use Legible fonts for all of your designs…
Legibility is the ability to see a font at a quick glance
Readability is the ability to read a font over a long period line after line
Use the following Guidelines for picking text sizes.
8 Point= Small
10 Point= average
12 Point= large/ Medium
14 point= Large
16 Point= Very Large
Justification
If your text is against the right side of the page it should be right justified- if it is against the left side it should be left justified .
Do not ever underline anything.
Use different fonts besides Arial for “sans-serif” and Times New Roman as a “serif” font.
Keep your logos all the same size on your Business Card, Envelope and Letterhead.
