Attention

We as human beings evolve from time to time, the way we adopt things becomes the new normal for us. Our brain evolves and responds to three kinds of stimuli. You can utilize all of them to get maximum exposure.

 

  • Novel Stimuli

Your logo design should be out of the norm. It should be uniquely crafted and should be new, unfamiliar, and entirely different.

  • Supernormal Stimuli

Take an element that causes an instinctive response, and symbolize it to get massive attention.

Such styles include Baby faces, Proactive Design & Contrasting Logo Designs.

  • Partially Obscure Stimuli

Objects that are partially hidden or incomplete in shape get attention.

Such logos take some time to get noticed and grab attention. For example, the Formula 1 trademark, constructed to two elements “F” and, “1” that is designed as negative blending in with the F (Right Variation).

Response

We all are responsive to different kinds of stimuli. Your logo should depict your brand values and the aura of your niche in your logo design. Your logo should trigger the right emotions in the observer that your brand holds.

There are three kinds of responses we typically react to;

 

  • Aggressive and Dominant Logos

These types of logos trigger an aggressive and bold response by using angularity, vertical or horizontal lines, and geometrical shapes.

Aggressive and Dominant Logos

  • Friendly Submissive

These types of logos trigger a super friendly response by using round curves, horizontal lines, and geometry. These logos provide with smooth look and feel.

  • Neutral

Elements that provide a classic look and feel and generate neutral emotions by using squares or rectangles etc.

 

Meaning

Once your logo grabs the attention of its design and generates a powerful emotional response, it should also portray the meaning of your brand identity.

Without the actual meaning, there is no use of an eye-catching logo if it doesn’t represent your brand message.

The meaning of a logo is defined by proportional density.

Proportional density means the amount of information you are showcased per unit element.

Meaning

Memory

There is a huge variety of content out there, several logos, several meanings to them. When it comes to recalling things your brain is smart enough and it excludes all the information that is either too complicated or useless.

Few key elements can be considered to make your logo memorable.

This is the ARMM model which will let you design your perfect logo design.
