Posted on September 01, 2011 by Tope
The mind has remained one of the greatest mysteries of the existence of the creature called man. The mind of man produces his thoughts and as a matter of fact, the thoughts that emanate from him to a very large extent determine his performance.
Over the centuries, the greatest geniuses that lived were able to accomplish feats by being able to utilize the power of the mind. Many of them realized that if they could tame their minds to think success, they are bound to excel. In point of fact, this unique condition for a successful life has not changed and it applies to all spheres of human endeavor.
So the strength of a logo designer is not only limited to talents or hard work. The thoughts actually remain the fuel for the other factors since thoughts will go a long way to shape outlook to life. Hence powerful thoughts mean powerful designs.
Edmund Hillary, the man who surmounted Everest developed power thoughts, and in spite of fierce challenges got to the top. Also a logo design that will pull the market to itself must be borne out of great thoughts. Of course, musings such as “I can”, “I’ll not give up”, “We’ll win” among several others will give more enthralling logos to our world.
THE VOICE OF LOGOS

Depicting concepts with symbols date back to ancient times. Archaeological findings show that Monarchs in those early times exploited the skills of craftsmen in their domain or even went ahead to import expertise from foreign lands in order to create impressive symbols that portray the political and economic splendors of their kingdom.
During those times, portraits of paramount rulers and symbols that showcase beliefs of the realm were carved. Logo designs can therefore be said to have accompanied the wake of civilization. In modern times, logos cannot be separated from man and his numerous activities. Man is a social being who cannot but be captivated by images. Therefore, diverse aspects of human life have been represented with imagery.
In fact, over time, corporations and institutions have been identified by logos amidst other means by which they are characterized. Presidents, Governors and Mayors are recognized by seals and nations by emblems and flags. To be factual, the mind of a logo designer is a fertile one. It soars with creativity. Into those crests, he crams myriads of thoughts. Each line drawn is pregnant with meanings. Most times, logo designs are encrypted. A casual viewer may end up without exploring the whole value. Hence, every viewer must endeavor to voyage into the designer’s mind.
