How to Avoid Cluttered Logo Design

There is a massive difference between eye-catching and cluttered logo design.

What it comes to advertising, many companies want to cram in as much information as possible to maximize their advertising space so that at a glance, the customer can see what the company is all about. However, clutter in a logo often takes away from the attraction if there are too many components for the eye to understand.

On the flipside, simple and targeted advertisement is a successful choice for many of the top businesses on the market, with Google being the best example. Google is a plain and clean website that does not sell advertising space on the homepage, making it soothing and preferred by many Internet users. Furthermore, the ads that Google does place within the search engine results are even stronger because of this approach since they are relevant, regulated, and easy on the eye. Facebook is another ideal business model that is often preferred over MySpace because it uses much less advertisement so that it is still appealing.

With these examples in mind, it is important to understand how much more effective your logo can become if it is attention grabbing instead of merely cluttered. If there are too many words within an advertisement or too many advertisements in one space, it is difficult for your ad to stand out. This means that you are in essence wasting money on your ad space, simply because you have tried to crowd it with too much information.

The last thing to keep in mind is that navigation is key when attracting customers to your website. If a customer is able to click on a simple logo or advertisement, be directed to a clear and user-friendly website, and find what they are looking for, that guarantees success for the business.
