Logo Design from München Stadt

Logo design prices vary by complexity: basic logo (wordmark): €800-€1,500, standard logo with icon: €1,500-€3,500, premium logo system with guidelines: €3,500-€8,000. In München Stadt, we offer flexible packages. Your logo is the first touchpoint with customers - this investment pays off through recognition.

A professional logo design process takes 3-6 weeks: briefing and research (3-5 days), concept development (1-2 weeks), feedback rounds (1-2 weeks), finalization (3-5 days). For innovative brands, we invest more in research for unique designs. Quality takes time - we design for decades.

A good logo meets five criteria: simplicity (recognizable in fractions of seconds), uniqueness (differs from competitors), timelessness (lasts 10-20 years), versatility (works on all media), relevance (communicates brand values). The best logos are simple - complexity is not a quality marker. We test logos at various sizes and contexts.

We deliver a comprehensive file package: vector formats (AI, EPS, SVG), pixel formats (PNG transparent, JPEG), PDF for print, favicon package for websites, social media kit with optimized sizes. All color versions: full color, single color, inverted, black and white. Organized folders with clear naming - ready for immediate use.

We present 3-5 different concept directions. Why not more? Too many options lead to decision paralysis. Each concept is strategically justified. After selection, 2-3 refinement rounds follow for perfection. We explain the "why" behind each draft.

Yes, logo refreshes are often more sensible than redesigns. A refresh preserves recognition while modernizing: simplification, digital optimization, typography update, color palette refresh. For München Stadt businesses: refresh projects cost 40-60% less. We analyze strengths (keep) and weaknesses (improve).

Wordmark: company name as designed typography (Google, Coca-Cola) - works with unique names. Pictorial mark: graphic symbol without text (Apple, Nike) - requires high awareness. Combination mark: both together (Adidas, Lacoste) - most flexible option. Choice depends on name length and brand strategy. We advise which type is optimal.

Yes, after project completion you receive full, exclusive usage rights - worldwide, indefinitely, for all media, without additional license fees. We recommend trademark registration for legal protection. You receive a usage rights document.

Color psychology is fundamental: blue (trust - banks, tech), red (energy - food), green (nature - organic, wellness), black (luxury - premium), orange (creativity - startups). For your industry, there are proven conventions, but differentiation through unexpected color choice is possible. Logo must work in black and white too.

Yes, app logos are a specialty. Special requirements: must work from 16x16px to 1024x1024px, extreme simplification needed, immediate recognition in app store, dark mode compatibility. For tech startups in München Stadt: balance between innovation and professionalism. Innovative industries allow more experimental designs.

A logo style guide documents correct usage: minimum sizes, clear space, allowed backgrounds, color codes (HEX, RGB, CMYK, Pantone), typography, do's and don'ts. Also useful for smaller companies: prevents logo abuse. Basic guidelines included in packages.

Current trends: simplification (debranding), variable/responsive logos, motion logos, geometric abstraction. Caution with: generic tech trends (all look the same), AI-generated logos (legally questionable, recognizably generic). For innovative brands: set your own trends instead of following. Good design survives trends.

Yes, we strongly recommend it. Process in Germany: research similar marks, registration at DPMA, costs approx. €300 for 3 classes, protection for 10 years. For München Stadt businesses: German trademark often sufficient, EU trademark for expansion. We support trademark research before design start.

Uniqueness is our core promise: comprehensive competitor analysis, reverse image search on design platforms, trademark research in DPMA/EUIPO databases, no stock icons, everything custom developed. Every draft goes through similarity check. If similarity is discovered later, we revise for free.

Yes, animated logos are perfect for: website loading, social media, video intros, app splash screens. Types: simple animation from €500, complex character animation from €2,000, interactive logos from €1,500. Delivery in GIF, MP4, WebM, Lottie JSON. Animated logos show innovative spirit.

This rarely happens, but we have processes: in-depth feedback conversation, additional exploration round, possibly new moodboard. Constructive feedback is important - "too playful, need more serious" helps more than "don't like". Satisfaction rate: 98% after maximum 2 rounds.

We design for maximum flexibility: primary version for light backgrounds, inverted for dark, single-color versions, reduced version for small applications. Testing on: white, black, photos, colored surfaces, textures. All variants delivered. A logo that only works on white isn't finished.

No, we don't use AI for logo design: AI logos aren't truly unique (trained on existing designs), legal gray area, generic look, no strategic justification. Tech companies especially shouldn't use AI logos - it shows convenience instead of innovation. Every pixel is created by human designers.

Helpful: collect logos you like, define 3-5 adjectives for your brand, know your target audience, list competitors, have name and tagline finalized, think about use cases. Existing businesses: bring brand materials, customer feedback. In the workshop, we clarify open points together.

A well-designed logo should last 15-20+ years. Examples: Apple (since 1977), Mercedes-Benz (star since 1909), Shell (since 1904). Reasons for premature redesign: fundamental business change, merger, negative associations, technical obsolescence. Evolutionary refreshes every 7-10 years keep logo contemporary. We design timelessly, not trendy.

The difference is fundamental: Fiverr/99designs (€50-500) = template-based, generic, no strategy, questionable rights. Professional agency = strategic brand work, real uniqueness, vector quality, full rights, revisions until perfect. Your logo represents your company thousands of times. Cheap logos cost more long-term through redesign needs.

Yes, logo design is often the starting point for brand identity: corporate design (business cards, stationery), color palette and typography system, icon sets, social media templates, packaging, signage. For München Stadt: flexible packages from basic logo to full brand identity. Logo first, then gradual expansion.

Typography communicates personality: serif fonts (Times) = traditional, serious, for lawyers, finance. Sans-serif (Helvetica) = modern, clean, for tech, startups. Script = personal, creative, for boutiques, beauty. Tech: geometric sans-serifs like Montserrat are popular. Observe licenses - not every font may be used in logos.

Our process is structured: briefing workshop, research phase, moodboard presentation, concept development, presentation and feedback, refinement and finalization. Regular status updates keep you informed. For München Stadt clients: personal meetings possible.
