FONT CHOICE
Today there is an unlimited number of font types (also
called type faces) out there. A lot of them are available
through the Internet with own homepages specializing
in providing fonts only. This gives you as a consumer
a bigger selection, and again enhances the chance of
finding just the right font for your business. As with
choosing type of symbol, graphic, layout or colors for
your logo, choosing font type will also influence the
overall impression you give your customers. Font type
is therefore a crucial element in your logo. So how
can you choose a font type that communicates your message
clearly and effectively?
The first thing to think of is what the total theme
or message is meant to be. To know this, you would first
of all need to define your company's business and its
purpose, as well as knowing who your customers or target
group are. A font type can be perfectly well suited
to some customers, while being totally wrong for others.
Here are some examples of font types, with description
of symbolic meaning first, followed by name of font:
