This workshop will cover the often-overlooked aspects of logo design relevant to creating a logo that is strategically branded, functional in all applications, and devoid of qualities that pose risk of trademark infringement. Topics covered will include, but are not limited to, logo development best practices, long-term and short-term considerations, pitfalls to avoid, as well as examples of all of the above. This workshop will focus less on artistic technique and software specific information like many logo design courses available online and will instead emphasize the importance of performance, utility, and versatility of the logo to a business over its lifespan. No prior design experience is required to benefit from the workshop and all material discussed will be fundamental and universal.
