Master typography, colour, symbolism, and layout in logo design for startups.
Overview:
A strong logo is often the first impression a startup makes—and getting it right isn’t just art; it’s strategy. This course focuses on how to design logos that are sharp, clear, and memorable, with an emphasis on layout, visual balance, colour psychology, and how typefaces influence perception.
