Bridport Town Council Logo Design
THE BRIEF
Updating A Dated Logo
The digital world is here and its time to make sure your branding can keep up with the need for pin-sharp online graphics, as well as being top-quality for vehicle graphics, print and branded signage.
Bridport Town Council got in touch with an array of needs spanning vehicle graphics and signage, but their current logo was not up to scratch to be able to produce the quality of print they required. Our team offered to recreate and tidy the logo ahead of any larger print project as the image had been chopped, changed and lost its quality over time. A rewarding mid-point was reached where we were able to take the original heraldic image, and simplify this with a new, modern sigil.
We offered to vectorise their logo which would require some digital redesigning to which they agreed it was long overdue, so we started the process with them for this all important update.
Below you can see Bridport Town Council's old logo (right), and the beginning of the design process where we offered several versions of their logo including updated drawings of the lion, crown, castle and sea.
THE BRIEF
Why every logo needs to be a vector graphic
- A vector logo is scalable
- A vector logo is easily editable
- A vector logo has many export options
As a simple explanation - your brand's image depends on it.
A vector file is often the best format for a logo. Many production companies require high resolution files and will request your logo as a vector.
VECTOR LOGOS ARE SCALABLE
Vector format logos are infinitely scalable. Vector logos can be scaled infinitely to fit large print design needs or conversely scaled down to fit smaller requirements. This means you can easily use the same file for both a small business cards and posters, all the way to large format signage and vehicle graphics.
Vector files are images that are built by mathematical formulas that establish points on a grid. Raster files are composed of the coloured blocks commonly referred to as pixels. Because of this, vector files can be infinitely scaled to even the most outrageous of dimensions without losing resolution, blurring or losing any quality.
VECTOR LOGOS ARE EDITABLE
When thinking about your logo, you may want it to be adaptable to different print types, locations, and even time of the year with campaigns and seasonal advertisements. This can produce multiple ideas and iterations of your logo, but if the process isn't easy, you may find many of those ideas getting shot down or implemented.
Say you need your logo printed onto white paper - you will need a bold text colour to be easily legible. Your business vehicle fleet however is all black! You can simply invert the colours, altering your logo to suit any environment it is needed in.
