As a logo designer, you know the importance of a smooth creative process. But it's easy to dive headfirst into the design phase, only to realise that you've missed crucial steps along the way. This can lead to confusion, frustration, and a hit to your confidence.
I've been there, and that's why I created this Notion dashboard to help me streamline my logo design process. While you don't need a dashboard, having a system to help you track your process and maintain clarity can significantly reduce the stress and anxiety that an undefined process creates.
With this process kit, you'll be able to:
Get a jump start in your logo design career. From initial brief to delivery, this step-by-step kit gives you everything you need to navigate the logo design process from start to finish.
If your logo design process is unclear, use this kit to clarify each step, streamline your process, and inject more quality and meaning into your designs.
Using a more definitive logo design process in your business will save you time, reduce stress, and ensure you consistently deliver high quality logos your clients love.
The Process Tracker is the core system of the process kit. It’s essentially a Notion database that uses a step-by-step template containing everything you might need while navigating through your process.
Work through your logo design process using the Notion Process Tracker template as your guide. Add notes, research and sketches, access resources specific to each step, and track your progress as you move through the process.
A good brief will help you narrow down the scope of the project, stay focused and create something both relevant and meaningful for the brand.
The questionnaire in this kit is split into two sections; the first section, 'Brand Overview' asks about the brand, who it helps (and why), competitors, and what makes the brand different. The second section, 'Design Brief' gets specific details of the logo, and asks questions to gain insight into your client's design preferences.
This questionnaire template is my final, refined set of questions; no fillers, just the good ones. They won't overwhelm you or your client, but they still cover the important stuff that will help you create logos with real meaning.
Includes a folder structure to help you organise the final logo files in a way that makes it easy for your client to find the right file, and a 'Logo File Formats Guide' Template to help you include a document that explains to your client what each file type is and what it’s used for, helping them use the right file for its application.
Kia ora, I’m Liv – a brand designer from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Consider me your guide on the side, here to help you navigate your logo design process so you can become a more confident designer.
After more than a decade of working in design studios, I've observed the confusion and stress that can arise during the logo creation process, causing difficulties for both designers and clients. To address this issue, I've developed a process kit that streamlines the logo creation process, eliminating stress and promoting efficiency.
With a well-defined system in place, you'll be better equipped to handle anything that happens during your logo design process. A successful process takes years of experience and continuous refinement – as you grow and evolve as a designer, your process should too.
By investing in this kit, you'll be on the right track to navigating your logo design process with more clarity and confidence.
