The style and design of corporate logos and associated materials sets the tone for business discussions and often has an effect on public opinion. We’d like to call your attention to the following style elements you should consider.

Color. The most obvious color scheme for an environmental consulting firm would probably be green. But while green inspires trust and is considered a soothing color, it’s not the most dynamic choice for a corporate design. We suggest that you check out the logos of your competitors and partners and see which color combinations suggest the feel you want for your logo. Also, please consider whether you will want to print your new logo on a variety of background colors or always display it on a neutral background.

Shape. Do you want a confined shape, such as a tight circle, square, or triangle. Or would you prefer a "looser" shape, with waves or irregular lines that can suggest movement and "flow". A confined shape can convey an image of stability and trustworthiness, but a looser image can seem more modern and versatile. Images. Do you need a specific image incorporated into your logo.

For example, do you need a tree, a bird, an ocean wave. Text. What words need to be incorporated into your logo. For example, do you want your complete company name. Do you want a tag line to always appear with your logo.

What style of font do you prefer. Feel. What sort of "feel" do you want for your logo. Whimsical.

Soothing. Serious. We suggest that you come up with three adjectives you’d like your clients to use when describing your organization.

Summary

Nu-Gen has designed logos for organizations that run the gamut from law firms to rock bands. We value your input because we want to design the perfect logo to represent your unique organization.
