Best logo designer in India
A logo has to be recognised in two seconds, work at a thumbnail size and on a hoarding, and still look right in ten years. Here is how to choose a logo designer who can deliver that.

6 things the best logo designer should have
Use this checklist with any studio or agency you are considering, including us.
Original concepts
Your logo should not look like a template. Ask how the designer checks that a concept is original and not already in use in your category.
Reasoning behind the design
A good designer can explain why a shape, colour or letterform fits your business, not only why it looks nice.
Works at every size
The mark should hold up as a favicon, on a visiting card, on packaging and on a hoarding. Ask to see versions.
Complete file set
Vector files (AI, PDF, SVG), PNG, colour and black-and-white versions and a usage guide. Ask what you receive at the end.
Revision rounds
Look for a fixed, fair number of revisions and a clear process, so feedback leads to better work and not endless changes.
Portfolio of real brands
Check logos that are being used by real businesses in the market, not only concept designs.
