What does your logo colour say about your brand?
Your logo is the first thing customers will associate with your brand. It is your brand’s finger print in the industry and how it can be immediately identified. Research suggests that your logo’s design, and specifically its colours, have more bearing on your customers’ opinions than you might have realised.
Colour has a direct effect on people’s emotions and this can be used to your brand’s advantage if used right. In fact understanding your customers’ connections to certain colours could increase the effectiveness of your company message – and therefore its growth.
According to research complied by web design and marketing company WebPageFX, people make a subconscious judgment about a product in less than 90 seconds of viewing, and a majority of these people base that assessment on colour alone. Almost 85% of consumers cite colour as the primary reason they buy a particular product, and 80% of people believe colour increases brand recognition.
So what colour should you go for? Here’s the most used logo colours and why:
