How to Give a Graphic Treatment to a Logo
A logo is an identifying symbol, often used in advertising, to refer to a business, an individual or an organization. The symbol can be nonverbal, or it can incorporate all or part of the name of the business, individual or organization referred to. When designing a logo -- as for stationery, advertising or a website -- it is important to remember that an eye-catching graphic treatment can make the difference between a logo that's memorable and one that's forgotten. Fortunately, there are free websites that allow the designer to choose from eye-catching and imaginative graphic treatments for logos.
