    When should I rebrand my logo?

    EXSELR Insight –   2 mins


    When should a business rebrand their logo? Typically most designers recommend every 3-5 years making minor to major updates to an existing logo. This really depends on a few factors.

    How outdated does the logo look?
    Has the company changed significantly in the last 3 to 5 years?
    How’s the legibility printed at small sizes or on mobile phones?


    Logo design for new business
    One of the biggest mistakes companies make starting out is a lack of investment in their initial logo design. They want to rush to market to test their product or service without understanding the possible longevity of the company.

    First Steps (startup advice)
    We often recommend starting with mono chromatic or black and white logo design. The more simple the better. Avoid adding unnecessary taglines that bottleneck growth and development. A good example of this would Lisa’s Haircuts, we’ll if Lisa also specializes in coloring, extensions, and custom nails. Having “haircuts” in the business name is not as concise as Lisa’s Hair Salon.
