The Science of Logo Design:
Logo design requires artistry, but did you know your logos can also benefit from science? William Lidwell introduces the whys behind the well-known guidelines and even debuts some of the outdated design myths along the way. He reviews the 4 principles that make a logo ARMM’d for use: attention, response, meaning, and memory. Use these tips to bring a scientific rigor to your logos and start designing for evidence, not industry hearsay.

Logo Design Techniques
Info: Logos are a critical part of the modern visual landscape. To learn how to create your own, it’s important to be able to identify the components and design techniques behind the most successful examples, from Nike swoosh to the Coca-Cola ribbon.
