Basics of Logo Design Introduction—The basics of logo design • Use simple geometric shapes • lines, • circles, • squares, and • triangles. • Even the graphically-challenged can create great graphics for logos, newsletters, fliers, or web pages using these basic building blocks.
Using Lines in Logo Design • Lines come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Don't get stuck in a rut. • Vary the thickness of the lines. • Make lines of dots, dashes, or combinations. • Look at the patterns that a series of lines make. • Use lines to direct eye flow. • Use lines to form barriers. • Use lines to indicate connections. • Use lines to show movement.
Use Shapes in Logo Design • The following shapes can be very effective in logo design: • circles, • squares, and • triangles
