A subtle change can take immediately improve logo design, taking it from \u2018meh\u2019 to instantly recognizable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creators of Lead My Dog have run\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/business\/business-logos\/which-brand-design-do-you-prefer-ignore-dog-gender-86JMCU4I\">a PickFu poll<\/a> to split <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/test-app-logo\/\" class=\"ek-link\">test two versions of their logo<\/a>. At first glance, the logos seem nearly identical. However, there are a couple small differences between each logo \u2013 and those small differences had a big impact on the respondents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"970\" height=\"749\" data-id=\"3916\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-970x749.png\" alt=\"Improve Logo Design - Option A\" class=\"wp-image-3916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-970x749.png 970w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-388x300.png 388w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"970\" height=\"749\" data-id=\"3915\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-2-970x749.png\" alt=\"Improve logo design - Option B\" class=\"wp-image-3915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-2-970x749.png 970w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-2-388x300.png 388w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-2-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/improve-logo-design-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-logo-wonnbspnbsp\"><strong>Which logo won?  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:200px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking a look at both logo options, the respondents in this poll choose Option B as the winner. Out of 50 voters who were all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/audiences\/dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"dog owners (opens in a new tab)\">dog owners<\/a>, 44 of them preferred Option B, while just six chose Option A.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"to-improve-logo-design-choose-your-color-palette-carefullynbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp\">To improve logo design,<strong> choose your color palette carefully     <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When selecting the color palette for your logo, start with just one or two colors. It might be tempting to go with three or four colors to make your brand unique, but you don\u2019t your brand to get muddled with too many options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, pick two colors that are similar in tone. The two that you choose should be equally dark, light, saturated, or pale. For example, you could pick two colors that are both fluorescent or both pastel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Lead My Dog logos, Option A features shades of orange and black that are equally faded, whereas Option B features shades that are equally bright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respondents were clearly drawn to the bright colors of Option B:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cThe color of B is more vivid. The black is more glossy and makes the picture look better.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cI like the darker contrast and stronger outline. It looks more professionally done and new. The other one, A, looks like it&#8217;s been through the wash a couple times.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cThe other design looks faded and I see no reason for it. Go with the bolder colors.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"to-improve-logo-design-spend-time-perfecting-your-fontsnbspnbsp\">To improve logo design,<strong> spend time perfecting your fonts  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/choosing-best-fonts\/\">font you choose for your logo<\/a> can eventually evolve into your brand identity, like the recognizable fonts for companies like Coca-Cola and Disney. Take plenty of time to choose your fonts and go over your typography details before finalizing your design.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing your font, look for styles that match your brand\u2019s personality and the kind of audience you\u2019re targeting. You also have to consider the readability of the font style, size, and spacing you choose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the two Lead My Dog logos, the font, spacing, and capitalization are different. Thanks to feedback from the PickFu poll, the testers can read which options the respondents liked better and why.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, Option B came away with far more positive comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cI love the fancier lettering in this and the use of both capital and smaller case letters. It just looks fancier and more professional.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cIt\u2019s more pleasing to the eye that the lower line is all lowercase.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cThe font in Choice B is more inviting than Choice A. The font in Choice A feels harsh, while the font in Choice B has a softer\/warmer feel, something I want to associate with my dogs.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"always-test-your-logos-first\"><strong>Always test your logos first<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve come up with two or three logo options, you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/ask\">run a PickFu poll<\/a> just like this.
