Logo & color


It is important to understand the psychology of color choices.

I find that a good color selection can help make an identity system more effective、while a poor color selection can actually damage the company's image in the eyes of the public.

Colors evoke feelings and represent ideas. In logo design、knowledgeable and appropriate use of color is critical.


Here are some symbol and meaning of colors in logo design.
