How do I describe my brand to a logo designer?
Tell the designer what your company does in simple words. Share any colors or styles you like. Tell them how you want people to feel when they see your logo.
What should I include in my design brief?
A design brief should include your company's name and slogan if you have one. Describe what you like about other logos you admire. Mention where you plan to use the logo, like on a website or business card.
How long does it usually take to design a logo?
A simple logo can take a few days, but more detailed work might need a couple of weeks. Share your timeline with the designer. It helps them plan their work to meet your needs.
What types of files should I request from the designer?
