Logo design – or ‘brand identity’ as some design agencies prefer to see it called – is a famously difficult and controversial area of design to be involved in.
Everyone has an opinion about the end result, and because the art of logo design entails reducing a complex set of corporate and public perceptions down to a seemingly simple result, people assume that the process is also simple, and that therefore everyone can do it equally well.
