Will there be a 'project manager' assigned to my custom logo project?
Once again, claiming so-called 'project managers' is usually a tell-tale sign that a logo design firm is outsourcing your work. In real terms, a project manager is someone who takes your input on your project and passes it on, broken telephone style, to a designer who is working on your project but is not actually in-house. Bottom line, you can't talk to your designer, something that we at The Logo Factory feel is an integral aspect of any logo design project.. [more]
Custom Logo.
Despite the questionable promises of companies and design firms offering logo templates, the only true way to achieve a professional 'look' for your company is through the use of a custom logo, designed by a professional with experience in all aspects of corporate identity creation. SInce 1996 - The Logo Factory has been a clipart free zone with every project tackled through a series of custom, and unique, concepts, sketches and final renderings. Our TLF Classic galleries feature examples of custom logos created between the years of 1995 - 2002. Many have been featured on earlier versions of our web site. In this gallery you'll find custom logo examples related to software, entertainment, consulting, ducks and marketing. You'll also find examples of candle and interactive game company logos. For recent examples of our custom work, see our corporate logos portfolio.

What makes a good custom logo?
Despite having been in the business for over a decade and having been privy to the creation of thousands of custom logos it’s still a difficult question. Naturally, we all know a good logo when we see it. Just like many of our clients. And, conversely, we can identify a bad logo just as quickly. Unfortunately, these are but our opinions - we ’d argue ‘educated’ opinions - but opinions nonetheless. What about a litmus test for what makes a good logo and on the flip side, a bad one? Not so easy. Over the years, our designers have boiled it down to custom sliding scales of two factors - concept (the idea behind the logo) and execution (the actual artwork itself). A great logo would have both excellent concept and execution. I’ve also seem brilliantly executed logos where the concept is lacking or bland, and terrific concepts that fell short on the execution side - poor rendering, overuse of special FX, etc. Does it work? Let's take a look at the basic premise presented.. [more]
