  2. Memorability: The logo should be easy to remember so that it is memorised by customers.
  3. Recognisability: The logo should be unique so that it is easily recognisable when displayed on different media and materials.
  4. Originality: The logo should be unique and different from other logos in the industry.
  5. Timelessness: The logo should have a certain timelessness so that it still looks current and modern years later.
  6. Adaptability: The logo should look good in different sizes and formats and be easy to present on different backgrounds and materials.
  7. Choice of colours: The colours of the logo should be chosen to match the brand and create an emotional connection to the customer.
  8. Font: The font of the logo should match the brand and be easy to read.
  9. Meaningfulness: The logo should convey a clear message about the company or brand. It should give the customer an idea of what the company does and what it stands for.
