Website Logos
Your website logo
is the first thing that visitors see when visiting your website. The
logo is typically a small graphic (.jpg, ..gif or .png file) at the top
of your page.
Illustrative logos require graphic design skills and are really the domain of graphic designers. Text based logos basically use your company or website name in a suitable font/colour with maybe a simple background graphic.
A very bad logo creates a very bad impression, but it is not clear if a very good one has a very good impression. So
· Always keep to a simple design especially if you are doing it yourself.
· Don't overcomplicate your logo.
· Stay with a simple text based logo if you do it yourself.
· Make the Text easy to Read.
· Have the logo professionally made if you want an illustrative type logo.
If you are just starting out online, and aren't creating a logo for an existing business use a simple text logo, and change it later as your site builds traffic.
Most websites opt for a very simple logo usually with the company name or website name and sometimes a simple descriptive phrase.
