Look inside
Mistake #1: Saying Too Much
The most common misconception I encounter is that a logo should convey a message, while in reality the exact opposite is true. The purpose of your logo is not communication - it’s identification. It should clearly state what it is, and the less it says - the better. Your audience doesn’t study your logo like a piece of art. They glance at it and move on.
The Solution
Don’t try to incorporate a feeling or trait into your logo, it will only prevent it from serving its main purpose.
