🧠 First Impressions Matter – So Does Your Logo

For small businesses, your logo is more than just a design — it’s your identity, your first impression, and often your only chance to catch attention.

Unfortunately, many startups and small businesses make common logo design mistakes that cost them credibility and customers.

In this post, Obedullah Graphics breaks down the top 5 logo design mistakes and how YOU can avoid them.

❗ 1. Overcomplicated Logos

🌀 A logo shouldn’t be a puzzle.
If your design has too many shapes, colors, or effects, it’s hard to read — especially on small screens.

✅ Keep it simple, memorable, and clean.
Great logos work in all sizes and formats — think Nike, Apple, or McDonald’s.

❗ 2. Using Generic Clipart or Free Templates

📎 Copy-paste logos make your business look unprofessional.
Free logo makers might be fast, but they use recycled graphics that don’t reflect your brand.

✅ Always go for custom, original design that speaks to your business identity.

❗ 3. Poor Font Choices

🧱 Your font says a lot about your brand.
Using overly decorative, hard-to-read, or mismatched fonts kills your brand's image.

✅ Use professional, legible typography that aligns with your message — playful for a kids brand, bold for a construction company, etc.

❗ 4. Choosing the Wrong Colors

🎨 Color affects how people feel about your brand.
Too many colors or the wrong shades can confuse or repel customers.

✅ Stick to 2–3 brand colors and make sure they work on both light and dark backgrounds.

❗ 5. Not Using Vector Files

🖼️ Logos made in raster formats like JPEG or PNG can’t scale properly. They blur when resized and limit your options.

✅ Ask your designer for vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) so your logo stays crisp on billboards, websites, and business cards.
