Things to consider before designing a logo

• When crafting your logo don't settle for something that simply looks good, aspires to design something that evokes your message or a feeling.
• Avoid falling for the latest trendy patterns, colours, typefaces and other things to impress viewers and clients. This is because design trends last only for a few months or a year or so.
• Make it scalable without losing its sense of proportion. That is, whether you want to put your logo on a big size billboard design or on a business card it should appear proportionate from every angle.
• Always try to be different when designing your logo. Make it unique to stand out.
• Before you take a final decision on the design of your company logo, take into consideration its appearance on different online and physical platforms. So, make sure to test it on several mediums.

It's hard to imagine all of the colour possibilities until you really begin to stare at a 1,000 different shades of a single colour.

Some colours are more popular in particular regions, some colours are faddish, some colours are difficult to replicate in different mediums, and some colours may already be taken.

Graphics and images pose their own concerns. In general, simple is often better.
