VI- Corporate Logo Design Concept

Corporate logo is a unified standard visual symbol with simple shape and clear meaning, which conveys elements such as business philosophy, corporate culture, business content, corporate scale, product characteristics and so on to the public, so that they can recognize and recognize corporate patterns and characters.

The corporate logo represents the whole enterprise. For enterprises that produce and sell commodities, it refers to the trademark patterns of commodities.

Enterprise logo has abstract, concrete and unpatterned font logo.

Corporate logo is the core of visual image, which constitutes the basic characteristics of corporate image and reflects the internal quality of the enterprise. Corporate logo is not only the leading force to mobilize all visual elements, but also the center to integrate all visual elements, and it is also the representative of the public's brand identity. Therefore, corporate logo design is of great significance in the design of the whole visual identification system.

Enterprise logo has the following characteristics:

(1) identifiability

Recognition is the basic function of corporate logo. It is a "sharp weapon" for modern enterprises to distinguish discrimination against their own enterprises and their products with the help of unique signs. Therefore, through the overall planning and design of visual symbols, it must have a unique personality and strong impact. In CI design, logo is the design element with the most information transmission function in enterprise visual cognition and recognition.

(2) Leadership

Corporate logo is the core of corporate visual communication elements, and it is also the leading force of corporate information communication. The dominant position of logo is the concentrated expression of business philosophy and business activities of enterprises, which runs through and is applied to all related activities of enterprises. It is not only authoritative, but also reflected in the integration and diversity of visual elements, and other visual elements are centered on logo composition as a whole.

(3) Identity

Logo represents the business philosophy, cultural characteristics, scale, business content and characteristics of an enterprise, so it is a concrete symbol of enterprise spirit. Therefore, it can be said that the public's recognition of the logo is equal to the recognition of the enterprise. Only when the business content or actual state of an enterprise is consistent with the external symbol-enterprise logo, can it be unanimously recognized by the public.

(4) Modeling

The themes and forms of corporate logo design are rich and colorful, such as Chinese and foreign fonts, angular patterns, patterns, abstract symbols and geometric figures in Chinese and foreign fonts. Therefore, the logo modeling changes are particularly lively and vivid. The quality of logo graphics not only determines the effectiveness of logo to convey enterprise situation, but also affects consumers' confidence in product quality and recognition of enterprise image.

(5) Extensibility

Corporate logo is the most widely used and frequently appeared visual communication element, which must be widely used in various media. According to different printing methods, manufacturing processes, material textures and application projects, logo graphics should adopt a variety of corresponding and malleable variant designs to produce appropriate and appropriate effects and performances.

(6) Systematization

Once the enterprise logo is determined, it should be refined, including the combination of logo and other basic design elements. The purpose is to plan the application of future signs and realize systematic, standardized and standardized scientific management. So as to improve the efficiency of design work and maintain a certain design level. In addition, when the visual structure is diversified, all related enterprises can be unified with powerful signs, and different colors, the same shape and different patterns or the same logo patterns can be adopted to strengthen the systematic spirit of related enterprises.

(7) the times.

Facing the rapid development of society, changing life and ideology, and constant market competition, modern enterprises must have distinct characteristics of the times. In particular, many time-honored enterprises need to re-examine and improve the existing logo image, and adopt a fresh, concise, clear and easy-to-remember design form on the basis of retaining the time-honored image, so that the logo of the enterprise has distinct characteristics of the times. Usually, the renewal of logo image takes ten years as a cycle, which represents the spirit of innovation and change, courage to create and pursuit of Excellence, and avoids the increasingly rigid and outdated corporate image.

Corporate logo design is not only a pattern design, but also a symbol with commercial value and artistic appreciation value. Logo pattern is the summary of visual art. Designers should use their own aesthetic way to describe and express with vivid and concrete perceptual images, so as to deepen the theme of the logo and achieve the purpose of accurately conveying enterprise information.

The difficulty of enterprise logo design lies in how to accurately transform the concept of image into visual image, rather than simply what it looks like or represents. That is to say, we should have novel and unique creativity, express the personality characteristics of enterprises and express them in visual art language.

The design of excellent corporate logo should consider injecting profound thoughts and ideas into the enterprise, so as to convey a distinctive and unique excellent corporate image and achieve the purpose of differentiation strategy.

With the acceleration of commercial information transmission and scientific and cultural exchanges, all communication behaviors are extremely efficient. The role of visual communication, like commercial symbols, is also developing in the same direction, that is, it requires conciseness and knowledge, while at the same time emphasizing aesthetics, generosity and individuality. Corporate logo design is no exception.
