Continuing his thought we can add that a logo design is a heart of a brand identity that presents the personality of a company or a product.

That\u2019s why the success of the brand strategy depends largely upon the colors chosen for the logo design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Colors are a vital factor for not only the visual appearance of products but also brand recognition.

Confidence, youth, and power.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> <strong>Orange<\/strong>.

Visual perception is quite individual for everyone so the color effects may be different because of factors such as age, culture, and gender. For example, children like yellow color pretty much, but as we become adults it usually seems less attractive. Moreover, there are many cultural differences in color definition. To make sure the color will work effectively for a brand strategy, it\u2019s vital to consider the preferences of the target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8369 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/andre-logo-design-by-tubik.jpg\" alt=\"andre logo design by tubik\" width=\"3456\" height=\"2304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/andre-logo-design-by-tubik.jpg 3456w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/andre-logo-design-by-tubik-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/andre-logo-design-by-tubik-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/andre-logo-design-by-tubik-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/andre-logo-design-by-tubik-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3456px) 100vw, 3456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Shape in logo design<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">As we already mentioned in the article devoted to the <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/knock-design-into-shape-psychology-of-shapes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">psychology of shapes<\/a>, all the visual objects can be analyzed in terms of shape.
