Tips
- The keys to effective logo design are simplicity and readability. In most cases, avoid using more than 1 or 2 colors and choose a font that can be read easily from a distance. Shapes, outlines and gradient effects should be used sparingly, if at all. In most cases, shadow and 3-D text effects should be avoided in order to create a clean, aesthetically pleasing and easily recognizable design.Thanks
