3) Ask About Design Inspiration

Many times clients have visualized their logo design so it’s a good idea to ask about their design inspiration. It will give a clear cut idea to design.

In my 10 years career, I have met many clients who knew about their logo but unable to design it so they give you the complete picture of how the design will look as final product. It’s essential to read their mind before starting your job. Many times people are obsessed with some famous design but they want similar with the unique look so check it out with them.

Getting design inspiration from client will help designers to understand the client visuals about their logo.

4) Know Color Preference

Knowing about the colors is also important to create the desired design.

Check out:

  • Preferred colors need to incorporate in logo design
  • Also, check the color combination (solid or gradient)

5) Preferred Font

Also, it recommended knowing about the preferred font. This will help you to create a clear picture of the design based on the preferred font.

As the trend of hand lettering and calligraphy logos are rising so ask about in length font details to manage your budget and time.

6) Ask About Target Audience & Demographics

Recommended knowing about the target audience and demographics of business as it’s global or local. In this way, you can create a logo as per the specified requirements. For example; if you are designing a logo for a makeup salon in Newyork then you can easily target the customers so the designing will become easier.

7) Mention Number of Concepts and Design Revisions

Another important part is to mention and discuss the number of concepts that you will design and revisions. In this way, the designers can easily manage their time and effort within the budget.
