The TOP TEN best ways to ensure that your logo design is forgotten quickly: 1: Copying design elements from already famous logos. 2: Using a similar design or color scheme as your competition. 3: Using an online or software based logo "maker" that spits out a logo that looks like 1,000 others. 4: Failing to use your newly designed logo on your business collateral and in your advertising. 5: Using a complex logo that is hard to read when printed small. 6: Using vague imagery in your logo that takes too long to comprehend, the average attention span for someone driving down the street on any one object is less than three seconds, if they can't figure out what it is by then, you've lost them. 7: Not always using your business name and icon together, thinking that people will just "know" that it's you by seeing an icon. This only works when you have millions of dollars to convince people that your logo is related to you, like Nike. You know that swoosh means shoes because of millions of dollars in advertising. 8: Using colors in your logo that do not compliment each other well, if it's hard to read, causes nausea, or is too LOUD, you've probably got yourself a problem. 9: Changing your logo. Think about the Coca-Cola logo, how big the company is, how long it's been around, and how often they have changed the Dynamic Ribbon Device. 10: Using to many variations of your logo design, the best way to make people forget your logo design is to confuse them.
