Are you all set to receive the final file of your professional logo design? Before you make the final call and accept your logo design, take a moment and recheck these crucial things about your logo one more time.

1. Check The Logo Design Format

Checking the logo design file formats is very crucial. There are many logo file formats like JPEG, PDF, AI and many others, from which some of them are vector while some of them are raster files. Each of them has its own significance and usefulness. So, it is wise to ensure that the final file that you receive should be in as many of these formats as possible.

2. Ensure You Got The ‘Final’ Edited File

It often happens that clients keep on having minor revisions even after selecting the final logo design options. Such minor changes are naive like- changing a particular field in a separate color or changing the details of some elements. After comparing, the client picks either the last edited file as the final or pick on the previously edited one. Sometimes these many edits might create confusion. So, before giving your logo designing company the green signal, make sure you both are certain on which logo version you want as the final one.

3. Double Check The Color Palate

There is 2 main color palates out there, that graphic designs use, namely the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). These both have their own color set and respective color codes. If the same file is saved by 2 different palates, they both will have a very different color. Though they are shades of the same color, they look quite different from one another.

So, it is crucial that your file is saved as per the set that fulfills your needs. Not ensuring the same can bring disparity later on.

4. Re-ensure 100 % Ownership

Your logo is going to be your business’s single-most visual identity. Make sure it represents only you and having full ownership is quite important for it. Though is advised to go for a professional logo only when they offer 100 % ownership of the logo, double check it before accepting the final logo design. Also, try to get it registered under your business name at your earliest convenience.

Coffee is a beverage that puts one to sleep when not drank. – Alphonse Allais

While gulping that lazy morning coffee or enjoying the much needed late night coffee, we cannot help but think of the very recognizable logo of World famous Starbucks. Today, we are going to discuss the logo design of Starbuck and its journey of evolution till now.

Many businesses around the world, uses mascot in their logo or other promotional elements, but giving the honor to a two-tailed mermaid is something no one could imagine, no one but Starbucks. The mermaid or siren is a mythological creature that said to lure sailors with their magical voice. Similarly, coffee seems to compel people to have it over and over again and cannot be replaced with any other beverage in the world.

The logo of the Starbucks has few revisions till now. Let’s take a walk through the journey of its logo revision.

1971- The original version was brown in color with words ‘fresh roasted coffee’ in it. It featured a bare-chested, twin-tailed mermaid inside a circular form that remained unchanged in its upgraded version as well.

1987- This logo was later revised by painting the logo in green. This logo design also features the word ‘coffee’ with 2 stars in it, highlighting coffee as its prime product. The mermaid in this logo version has her hair spread over her chest.

1992- The logo was revised only minutely. The navel of the mermaid is no longer visible in this close-up view and the color was switched to a different shade of green. This green shade looks more resembling to nature and implied that Starbucks uses fresh, natural ingredients.

2011- This final logo revision is being used by Starbucks till now. It removed all the words and the starts from the logo altogether. This is now a brandmark logo that speaks for itself. It comprises of a more close-up view of the mermaid, just painted in a green and white scheme.

Perhaps this is the ultimate logo of Starbucks that we are going to admire for many years to come now, or perhaps, soon we will witness yet another phase of its evolution. Either way, it gives every business to consider one question ‘Shall I consider revamping my business logo as well?’

Of course, it is your call to make, but keep the golden world in mind- ‘Change is the only constant.’ A revamped logo design offers many benefits to the business and spice things up for it.
