1 List the 4 information that should be gotten from your client before you create an amazing logo.

Logos are a creative way to sell out your brand to people. When a person see's a Coca-Cola logo you immediately know it's a beverage drink because that what the brand is synonymous with.

A logo has to be unique in its own way, so it's not confused with other people organization. In essence it should not be too cumbersome with information, one glance at it should tell the person what it is you're about. Too much information makes it look disorganized and distorted.

There are a number of factors one has to take into account in creating a logo design for a brand. The following are needed to create a logo design.

• NAME OF THE BRAND
The name of most brands play a big role in the design of the brand logo. A lot of brands prefer their logos to have a semblance of their organization name , sometimes the whole letters and sometimes just a few letters from the name. So in designing a logo one important thing to note is the brand name as it will be a pointer to a large percentage of your design.

• WHAT THE BRAND IS KNOWN
What the brand does is also another factor to consider when designing so as not to design something fit for another brand. An example is designing a hair brand logo for a beverage brand or a mobile phone brand, it won't work out. So knowing what the brand does will help your creativity in the design process.

• COLOR OF THE BRAND
Most brands will always want their logo color to be that of their business. if there is a unique color that is very prominent to that organization it is your job as a designer to note it and try to factor it into your design. This is not always the case with all brands but it's also a very important factor when designing.

• SLOGAN OF THE BRAND
Slogans are very important just like the other factors mentioned above. Some brands are even know by their slogans and not the brand name or even the brand color. Finding a way to input this is a plus in the design.

All of these factors come into play when creating a logo, it is now up to the designer to be creative enough to apply all of these successfully.

2 Create a simple LETTERMARK logo design for a beauty brand and show picture screenshots of the process involved.

For this design i will be using the Pixel lab design application to create a logo for a beauty brand.

MY LOGO DESIGN

The following are the steps i followed to create the logo
STEP 1
I used a white background at the start of the design.

STEP 2
Then using the shape icon, I created a square shape and colored it black.

STEP 3
I embossed the square shape that was created at 90°.

STEP 4
The still using the shape icon, I created a circle shape and placed it in the middle of the embossed square.

STEP 5
I used the layer icon at the top right hand corner to merge them together.

STEP 6
The I began to add my text, the using the stroke icon I set stroke width to 3.

STEP 7
I added shadow to my text A2Z, with the blur shadow at 25.

STEP 8
Now I added the text BEAUTY SALON, then used the stroke icon that was used initially. But now the shadow used is the 3D shadow as you can see at the bottom of the text. After doing this I curved the text.

STEP 9
Using the add icon, I selected an image using from gallery option into my design.

Then placing the image at the back of the design and reduced the opacity.

STEP 10
Using merge tool

STEP 11
Then completing the a to Z text on my logo.

The a TO z is depicting the fact that all round beauty process can be found with the brand.
As can be seen with the lady in the background doing a lot of beauty process.
