Things to Remember Before You Design Your Etsy Logo

Before you begin designing your Etsy logo there are a few things you must remember about logo design.

Know Your Audience

Before starting logo design, research your audience to whom you sell your products. Keep them in mind while designing your logo as a basic customer persona is extremely important for a website as vast as Etsy. Picture your model customer and think about their requirements when you create your logo.

Tell a story

More than your products, you need to sell your brand story to the shoppers on Etsy so that they can identify your brand.Your logo must evoke a positive feeling about your product. Your logo must send a compelling message to your customer base. A message that makes them want to buy your product.

To tell your story, rather than mentioning what you do, focus on why you do it. This “why” should be visible in your logo which can be achieved by choosing the right combination of color, shape, font, etc.

Choose Your Words

Find the appropriate words for your logo which relates to your brand. Make sure words can best describe your products/services.

Sketch Your Ideas

Sketch a few logo ideas that come to your head after you find the brand story and relevant words for your logo. . Keep sketching and refining your logo concept. You can use old sketches to influence the new ones. A sketch can should include the basic design of the logo.

Pick versatile color schemes

Although you might have picked a color scheme when you sketched your logo, there’s a catch. Eventually, your logo will be on backgrounds whose colors you did not use as references in the earlier stages.

You must have at least two color variations – one for light backgrounds and the other for dark ones. Choose color schemes that suit your brand . Appy Pie’s Color Wheel can help you choose the perfect color combination for your logo.

Select a font

Be careful while choosing a font for your logo. The font you choose for the text in the logo is extremely important.. as it can make or break customer perception. Avoid the basic fonts that are used for text and try and find a fancier font.

Scalability

Your company logo will eventually be displayed on multiple platforms – physical posters, social media pages, your app and in print. So, your aim should be to design a logo that is legible when it is ‘scaled up’ for a large billboard and ‘scaled down’ for a customized pen. Essentially, the size of the logo should not impact its legibility..
