Every company needs branding, and every website needs a logo. We specialize at helping companies create a logo that works for them and accentuates their company’s message. Logos are the fundamental building blocks of your brand, and getting that right can make other areas of branding easier and more consistent. When we design a logo or re-brand a company, we start with the mission of the organization and who they are targeting. That gives us an idea of symbolism, meaning, colors, and perception. Your logo and service mark need to have meaning that connects, and SEOteric knows how to connect.
Logo creation is a combination of art and science, and we have a process that helps get it right. First, we need to understand logo and style trends. Design elements change with time, and depending on the style chosen, you can choose an iconic style, a timeless style, or a modern style. The fonts and style will determine how your logo is perceived, and we will help you identify what works for your brand and your audience. Once we know the direction, we can then look at specific colors, fonts, and marks to highlight the brand.
The anatomy of the logo should all have meaning. When we developed our logo, we had a few things in mind. 1) We wanted a icon, and a modern style. 2) We wanted it to symbolize our core mission of ranking in search engines. 3) We wanted bright colors that pop. 4) We wanted color and black and white versions.
When we design logos, we need a few variations. We create full color and black and white versions. We also create solid background and transparent background versions. For printing and larger projects, you need a scalable version (or vector file). We create all the versions you may need in all the file types you need. Having these makes creating signage, shirts, and other graphics much easier for the designer.
*The Logo Only package is just that - your logo designed with artwork and files delivered.
We will meet to discuss the brand, icons, colors, fonts, and styles that will be used to create the logo.
We'll go through a revision process to narrow down to a final choice for approval.
We'll carefully review artwork and create a final proof for approval.
SEOteric will create the variations needed for the art files, including full color JPG and PDF versions, scalable art in EPS and PDF, black and white versions, and transparent background versions. These files will be able to be used for just about any implementation of the logo. *The branding package includes the logo development and a style guide for logo use. This will include color scheme, complimentary fonts, example uses, and overall brand parameters.
We'll create the logo and files as described in the logo only package.
SEOteric will create a separate guide for using the logo. This will include fonts, colors, gradients (if used), images, and example implementation of the logo.
Any fonts used in the logo or style guide will be packaged and given to the client. *The Branding Package is full brand development, and includes logo, style guide, letterhead, business cards, envelopes, and other brand collateral. It also comes with our brand asset portal where your brand files are stored. This package includes:

We'll create a customized business card for the brand. Business card designs can be stored and edited in the brand asset portal, allowing brands to add new cards for new personnel any time.
Our Brand Asset Portal is a self-service portal where you can edit designs to create new assets as needed. This is really helpful for adding new people and business cards, updating phone numbers or addresses, or any other content type change. This puts you in charge of your brand once it's created. Each element of the logo has meaning, and when your logo has meaning, it adds value to your business. Your logo will be used in just about everything you create – letterhead, business cards, website, promo materials, signs, etc. Its the most important visual aspect of your brand. The image above shows how we chose and designed the elements of our logo here at SEOteric. We identified the things that were important to us, an incorporated those into the design.
