Quick reference knowledge base.
Everything you need to know about the logo design process.

While we like to believe that our website is one of the most informative sites about logo design on the internet, sometimes visitors (and designers) want to find logo design information fast, and a lot of our little 'pearls of wisdom' are scattered throughtout the TLF site. To that end, we've created a series of info-only, graphics-light pages that encapsulate all our info articles into one location (see subjects at right). Our knowledge base basically walks you through a complete logo work-up, from deciding whether or not you actually need a logo, to design pointers and tips, to effective use of color in your logo, to after-design management and use of your design assets. As this is a work-n-progess, as of initial posting date (August 15) some pages may be incomplete and awaiting content. Each page in our Knowledge Base deals with a particular design aspect, each denoted by the following icons -

Logo Design	Pricing Matters	Timeframes	Caution
Technical	Design	Files & Formats	Information

We're also assembling these info articles into our The Logo Factor Handbook, which will be available for download from our blog later this fall. If you wish to see more graphically intensive pages, which logo examples and graphics, you can always visit the following sections in our main site here:
