10 most important questions keep in your mind at the time of making a logo or a brand identity

Some time it’s very hard to know what exactly the clients want, they don’t like our best design and concept. After expanding too much time on a project it’s very hard for a Designer to convey the clients that this is the best and suitable design for their business.

So it’s very important for a Designer to know the client’s test their like and dislike, what exactly they want, before starting any project.

After a long study on net and my past experience finally I got the answer that how a Designer can know the test of clients
There are some questions below that I want to share with you and you have to find out the answers.



1. What are the client's business objectives? It'll show the reasons and intentions to make a new logo design.

2. What is the client's mission and vision? Through which you can get the details of its foundation and can find out the purpose of the brand and your design may convey the brand's message or core values.

3. How would client’s like to be perceived by others? Important in determining the style of your design. The final logo may be different from the one your client’s want, but a logo and the proper branding can take them into the right direction.

4. What is the USP of the client’s what is different they are offering to the target market that others do not? Base this question you can know that what competitive advantage they have over their competitors and how different you logo should be.
