What should I include in the project brief for a logo designer?

What timeline should I discuss with a logo designer?
Think about when you need the logo and share this with the designer. Consider how much time it might take to make drafts and revisions. If your business is launching soon, plan this project ahead of time to avoid a rush. On Contra, you can easily discuss and plan these details with your designer.
How many logo design concepts should I expect from the designer?

Be clear and specific with your feedback. If you like a certain part, say so, and explain what you don't like. If your business is in Calabarzon and you want elements that reflect local culture, mention this. Giving detailed feedback helps the designer make changes that match what you want.
Are there any brand elements I need to provide the designer?

This information helps create a logo that fits well with your brand's identity.
Why should I be clear about where the logo will be used?
Let the designer know where the logo will appear, like websites, business cards, or billboards. This helps them create a design that works in different sizes and mediums.
