  • Design a Logo

A logo is always an important part of branding and it should be designed by keeping your business in mind. A logo will visually speak to your customers about your business.

For example- the logo of Amazon shows an arrow which goes from A to Z, this indicates that a customer will get everything from A to Z on Amazon.

Most start-ups ignore this aspect while creating a logo which can be a huge mistake. The use of fonts and colors create a vibe of your brand which is important to attract customers. 

  • Speak through your start-up
