What is a Logo?
Logos are symbols made up of text and/or images adopted by an organization to identify products or their work. A good logo says it all! It explains who you are, what you do and what your priorities are. A logo carries a lot of responsibility with it.
“A logo derives meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolises,
not the other way around.”
Paul Rand
