If your prospective clients perceive you as inexperienced when in fact you have been in business for years, their reality will be hard to counteract. An unprofessional visual image can brand you with a negative identity.

Leaving the right mark on the psyche of your prospects and your industry will work to build a successful brand identity that helps you make a positive impression, instill confidence, and exude credibility.

In this issue of Making Waves, we focus on the significance of your logo and what it takes to leave an impressionable mark on your target audience.

Making Waves to Leave Your Mark

"A logo is to a company what a face is to a person. It's hard to memorize facts about a person when you only know their name but you haven't seen their face." That statement, made by Michel Tuan Pham, Professor of Marketing at the Columbia Business School, demonstrates how significant a logo is to a business.

Your logo will become the most prominent aspect of your business identity. It is used across all aspects of your marketing and communications. From your stationery and brochure to your website and advertising, your logo sets the tone for your entire brand identity and becomes the most memorable element.

With such a significant role to play, your logo design should never be left to chance.

An amateur logo design:

• Can quickly brand your business as unprofessional and your products or services will carry that association. Overcoming that first impression could be very difficult and costly.
• Can make your business appear unstable. Without the perception of longevity, consumers are uneasy about investing in products and services.
• Can make your business seem too small or amateur. This will call into question your capabilities and credibility.

A professional logo design will

• Reflect the personality and essence of your business or organization so that it can capture the attention of your target audience.
• Reflect professionalism to instill confidence in your ability to provide quality products and services.
• Reflect the level of expertise needed to demonstrate that your business is established and stable.
• Reflect credibility to develop loyal business relationships, help you benefit from referrals, expand your customer base and increase your sales.

Creating the perfect logo is complicated and, unless you have design experience, it is not a do-it-yourself project. An effective logo works to communicate both visually and emotionally to its intended audience. If you have such a mark, you will be remembered.
