The 6 Biggest Mistakes Logo Designers Make

A logo's significance cannot be overstated. It is a modest but mighty symbol that may create or break the reputation of your business. It is the graphical expression of a company's identity. You will struggle to draw in customers if your logo is poorly created, regardless of how fantastic your services or how distinctive your items are.

Creating a memorable logo is a task that even the most skilled designers find difficult. C9 ADS is the best logo designing company australia. We've explored six of the most common mistakes made by logo designers in this blog post to help you avoid some serious setbacks during the design process. 

Since you have now discovered this educational blog, I have no doubt that you will not be among them. Thus, these are the top six logo design errors.

1. Relying too much on Trends

Various design trends occasionally take center stage in the design business. Creating a logo based solely on current design trends is a common mistake made by logo designers.

A company's logo is a representation of its identity and should be timeless. If it is created based on current trends, it may quickly become out of style and corny. Relying excessively on trends while creating a logo might be detrimental to the organization because trends come and go like a puff of smoke. While trends are a great source of inspiration, you should always aim to create a logo that is distinctive, eye-catching, and long-lasting.

2. Inappropriate use of Typefaces

You don't want to take any chances here, do you? A well-chosen typeface may help a logo design stand out, just as a poorly chosen typeface can make it appear amateurish. When choosing a typeface, a logo designer must exercise caution; the greatest outcomes come from avoiding using too many typefaces in a single logotype. Since every typeface has a distinct personality, it is your responsibility as a designer to select a font that both embodies the qualities of the emblem and the brand's messaging.

Though many logo designers frequently use an excessive number of typefaces in an attempt to make the brand appear appealing, the result is a logo that appears shoddy. It is best to use one or two typefaces in the logo design instead of several different typefaces.

3. Poor Colour Selection

This is the most frequent error that logo designers make; some choose colors for the logo at random, while some are eager to add color. It's crucial to comprehend color psychology in order to create a memorable logo. As a designer, you must use hues that complement the brand's essence and personality. A specific color scheme should be chosen with consideration and logic; else, the company's reputation can suffer.

Second, you should only decide to add color after you have checked the logo in grayscale and black and white. A well-designed logo looks fantastic in color and in black and white. For the finest effects, it is therefore advised against rushing the addition of color to your logo.

4. Use of Raster Images

Using raster pictures when making a logo is another error made by logo designers. The inability to scale raster pictures to any size is a drawback when designing with them. Raster graphics are composed of pixels, therefore resizing them to different sizes causes blurring or has a significant negative impact on the logo's quality.

Therefore, to ensure that your logo can be scaled to any size, it is best to create it using vector graphics programs like Illustrator or Adobe. A well-designed logo never goes out of style and looks fantastic at both stamp and banner sizes without sacrificing quality. Therefore, ensure that your logo's design is adaptable and attractive at all sizes.

5. Creating a Complex Design

"Great beauty emerges through simplicity," as someone well said. Your logo design must be straightforward and powerful. If your logo is complicated and requires effort on the part of your audience to comprehend, the whole objective of the logo is destroyed.

An overly complex logo that misrepresents your company could be created by combining too many colors, an awkward typography choice, and an excessive number of elements. One characteristic unites all well-known firms, like FedEx, Apple, McDonald's, and Nike: their logos are straightforward but instantly recognizable. Therefore, in order for your logo to stick in the minds of your audience, you as a designer need to work toward making it simple.

6. Plagiarism

This is one of the most significant errors a logo designer can make, yet sadly, it happens far too frequently these days. An original and distinctive logo design is crucial, as any experienced designer knows.

The goal of a logo is to portray a business in the best possible light, therefore when designers plagiarize or appropriate ideas from other people's work, it hurts the company's branding. Plagiarism can also have negative legal effects, and you might have to pay a high price for it.

Over to you

If you design your next logo with the aforementioned errors in mind, you won't be able to look back on your career as a logo designer. Must Visit or contact us as we are the best logo designing company helps to make the best and professional logos for your business.

If I want to fuck around a little with the Oz Comic Con logo a little bit to make the cards I'm designing to hand out at the cosplay meet-ups, that is my god given right.

Got a very close matching font and added the "Sydney" to the logo cause I wanted it there without looking out of place, and shrunk the green icon a bit cause when I make the font big enough to read the year + city I didn't like how big it was.

How to Start a Podcast Guide for 2024: Launch, Attract 100 Listeners & Cover Costs - No Jargon! - Captivate FM

Part 1 l Part 2 l Part 3 l Part 4 l Part 5 l Part 6 l Part 7 l Part 8 l Part 9 l Part 10 l Part 11 l Part 12 l Part 13 l Part 14 l Part 15

The sixteenth article Sydney gave me is by captivate FM, which is a website that helps podcasters start and grow.

This article is extensive- there are five phases. This is going to be a long post, so buckle up.

Phase 1- Planning

1. Find your why

Once you have your why, you'll be able to figure out what you can bring to the podcasting world.

Write down your goals and set mile markers along the way to track progress towards them.

2. Topic

Choose one you're passionate about, one that excites you.

Don't feel pressured to be an absolute expert on the topic you choose- as long as you go into each episode with good research and a plan, you'll be ok.

Once you have a topic in mind, look into podcasts already in that area. What can you do differently? What will make your podcast stand out and make listeners choose yours over the however many other podcasts on the topic?

3. Name

Use research you conduct to find out keywords people are searching for that are relevant to your topic

Get creative

Descriptive name

Use your own brand if it's recognizable

Make sure it's not taken

Keep it short

Don't shove a list of keywords in. Weave them in naturally, and only keep a couple for the title. The rest can go in the description.

4. Avatar and XYZ statement

Create an avatar of your ideal listener

'I will do X for Y so Z can happen.'

Your 'Y' part will always be your listener avatar.

So the sentence will go something like 'I will do [podcast topic] for [listener] so that [listener experience].

Phase 2- Designing

5. Format

Solo, cohosted, interview are all formats of podcasts.

6. Design your flow

AKA create segments within your episode.

7. Calls to action

Anything you ask a listener to do, such as review or tell a friend, is a CTA. Decide on one or two to start with.

8. Script

This article includes examples and templates of scripts for you to use and take inspiration from.

9. Art

Keep it simple. As my old English teacher would say- KISS the work. Keep it simple, silly. The logo will be small most of the time, and you still want it to be legible and clear.

Make it relevant to the podcast.

Be bold about choices, based on what you've seen from other podcast artworks.

Don't fall back on stereotypical and overused imagery, like microphones and/or headphones.

Use your face if you're comfortable.

Remember it's not set in stone. You can always change it down the line.

There are also resources in this section to do the art yourself or outsource it, but I'll let you click through in case the author receives a commission.

10. Music

Jingles work for a reason. If you can get someone to recognize your podcast from the music alone, that's perfect.

Keep the music short. The listener wants to listen to a podcast, not a song.

There are some resources on where to find music here, and again you can find those on your own.

11. Categories and description

The description is how to draw people in, intrigue them, make them want to click and listen.

Categories are how people search through podcasts to find one to listen to. Make sure the primary category really describes the show because sometimes the two secondary categories aren't used in the algorithm.

12. Schedule and length

There's no magic answer- just think about your audience and how they might react to certain lengths, plus take into account your own time and how much you can handle.

13. Pick a launch date

Having a fixed end goal is the best way to get yourself to do this without procrastinating any more than you already have.

Phase 3- Recording

14. Microphone

It is necessary. Get one within your budget with good reviews, you can always scale up.

15. Headphones

For both recording and editing, to make sure everything is sounding good.

16. Record

This article goes over some general tips

Otherwise, the main article just talks about some differences in equipment and software if you're going solo or cohosting.

17. Editing

This goes over general tips for beginners

The main article seems to take a pretty minimalist approach- remove silences and re-takes, add music, and that's it.

The article also goes over the technical stuff related to exporting the audio file.

18. Understanding podcast hosting, RSS feeds, and directories

All I need to know is that podcasters need a hosting site to give them an RSS feed, then they can submit to directories and get heard.

Phase 4- Building

19. Trailers

This article gives you a guide on how to make one, but there are basics covered here.

Who are you and why should the listener listen to you?

What can the listener expect from the show?

How can the listener listen?

20. Choose a hosting site

Different ones will have different features, so do your research into which one will work best for you.

21. Record

Don't worry about mistakes- they can be edited out.

When you make a mistake, stop for a few seconds, then start the sentence over. You'll be able to see the silence in the wave form later.

If you wrote a script, you already know what you're going to say.

You can record in batches, which means record multiple episodes in a row.

Just because the final episode is a set time, that doesn't mean recording it will take that same amount of time. It will take you significantly longer with breaks, mistakes, and re-takes. Don't stress about it.

22. Website

Think of it as a central hub for your podcast, or a home.

You can use a website to further search engine optimization for discoverability.

It allows you to control how you show off your podcast and brand.

It also lets you build an archive of episodes, so listeners can find the earlier ones.

You'll be able to build a community around your show.

23. Social media

You don't have to worry about posting to every single social media site ever, but you should lock down the handles and usernames.

Phase 5- Launching

24. Uploading and publishing

Use your podcast host to do both.

If you choose Captivate, they have a whole instructional video of how to do this step.

25. Submit to directories

Your podcast will have generated the RSS feed you need, so you just need to plug the feed into the appropriate field.

Sometimes, your host will have a one click submission, which means you just have to click the 'submit' button and you've done it! It takes time for the directories to accept the podcast, so now you just wait. Up to a week for Apple Podcasts, specifically.

Once you've submitted to the directories, the RSS feed does the work and you won't have to do it again. The directories will just automatically get your episodes as you upload without you having to do any further steps.

26. Plan the launch

The article recommends a launch week, not day. This will give you enough time to build more excitement for your podcast. There are a few things they recommend:

Research and join three to five relevant groups or boards where your audience gathers.

Set up a podchaser profile and claim your podcast. Podchaser is like the IMDB of podcasts, so listeners can leave reviews.

Create a graphic that teaches people how to leave a review.

Get in touch with seven podcasts in your niche and ask to swap trailers. You promote theirs on yours, and they'll promote yours on theirs.

Record and release a teaser episode. Shout out listeners who left reviews, ask for feedback, thank everyone who helped you along the way, and provide listeners with a view of what's coming up.

27. Celebrate!

You've worked hard on this project, and you've finally launched. That's a huge milestone. People all over the world can now listen to you talk about your topic.

Now you can think about your growing community, develop your skills, and think about your goals.

Bonus phase- after launch

28. How to keep motivated

There's a video under this, too.

Most podcasters don't make it past ten episodes because they don't see the results they expected. You have to push through and keep going.

When a celebrity launches a podcast, it's an instant hit with tons of downloads. This is because they're already famous. Don't compare yourself to them.

Podcasters sometimes feel like no one's listening, but people are. You started a podcast because you have something important to say, so keep saying it.

Podcasting is a slow industry for non-celebrities. You have to work on bettering your skills and growing your community.

Ignore the perfectionist in your head. Nothing will ever be perfect, so stop fiddling with episodes. Stick to your release schedule you set for yourself.

Having a goal in mind helps at this point. Making your own mile markers to track your progress helps a lot, too. Make sure to celebrate victories, however small you may deem them to be.

29. Understand the data

Many beginner podcasters look at the early data and expect to see numbers in the hundreds and get discouraged when that isn't the case.

Captivate advertises that they show their users data points, including unique listeners, download averages over time, listener behavior, downloads per episode, and demographic data.

You might wonder what's a 'good' number for each of these. The truth is success is so subjective that your idea of good won't be anyone else's idea of good.

Look at your listeners and cultivate a relationship with them. Ask them to leave kind reviews and spread the word.

Celebrate any upward trend, no matter how slight.

30. How to reach one hundred listeners

Market, market, market.

Share with your core group of friends and family, they'll listen and share it with people they know that will appreciate the show.

The article also recommends treating each episode with a week of publicity. The day before you release the episode, they recommend posting short clips to tease content on your socials. On release day, create other content to share on social media. The rest of the week, use what you already created and keep posting about the episode.

Try for two to three posts per social media site, every day for the week. This might feel like too much, but social media goes so fast that things get buried. Just keep the episode in your followers' minds.

This routine will build habits and confidence, and then once the routine is set you can research more advanced ways to get more ears on your podcast.

31. Monetizing

Podcasting takes time, but you most likely invested some money into it, too, plus the upkeep if you have a paid hosting account.

Captivate offers subscriptions and tipping, but you can use other sites for the same things (patreon and ko fi come to mind).

You shouldn't feel guilty about trying to make your money back- you put a lot of time and energy into this, and some of your listeners will certainly want to help out if they can.
