What is a logo?
A logo is a symbol made up of images, shapes and text. A logo can help us identify a brand. When you see the big golden “M” you know it stands for McDonalds, when you see the blue bird you know it stands for Twitter and when you see the black tick you know it stands for Nike. A logo is the visual identity of a brand and that why it’s to important that a logo fits with the brand. Here are some brands which have very clever logos, you may have to look closely!
