What is Your Logo For?

This logo is for our graphic design studio. We specialize in brochure and catalog design. Our design services include logos, ads, brochures, catalogs, packaging, trade show graphics, sales & marketing collateral and web design.

How I Designed It

Our logo was designed by Michael Youngsma, the owner and creative director of MY Design Group. He used Adobe Illustrator to design the logo. The mark was designed to represent the letters M and Y. The letter Y can be seen in the negative space of the letter M. The letters M and Y represent Michael Youngsma's initials and also spell the word "my" so, it has a dual purpose that is significant and personal to our business.

Advice

  • Our advice to others who are designing a logo for their own business is to hire a professional graphic designer who can design a custom logo specifically for your business. Your logo represents your company and who you are, so it's worth the investment of time and money. A logo for a business should be timeless, stay away from hard to read fonts and trendy looks. It's helpful to research the logos of your competitors, as well as others brands in order to find out what you like and dislike in a logo. The logo should communicate what your business is about.
