Every successful company starts with a great logo to set them apart and communicate the image they represent. We design clean, creative and affordable logos to help you make your mark.
You have likely discovered our website because you are searching for an effective logo design. You may have a logo already but you know it is not representing your business in a professional and confident manner that fits your business. Getting this right is what we do.
We specialize in creating clean and sophisticated logos that carry their weight and represent our valued customers confidently.
There are so many logo designers out there today—so what makes us stand out from our competition? Here are a few factors to consider:
We have over 30 years of experience creating dynamic and functional logos that work. We haven’t been in business this long by creating mediocre logos. You can have confidence knowing you are going to have a winner.
When possible, we create more than just your logo—we build you a brand. This involves font selection, colour pallette and background treatments to accompany social media, web design and print materials.
Senior Designer Skill Level
Too many firms use their junior designers with little experience to produce logo designs. All our logo designs go through our senior designer to ensure they are the best they can be before they get to you.
We don’t think you should be waiting around for weeks on end waiting to see your logo design concepts. We make you a high priority by turning around most of our logo designs within a week. After all, you have a business to run—you need your logo now!

Creating a logo design for your business is only a small part of your image. Have you thought about the rest of your overall image? When hiring Eyetoeye Design, we specialize in building out your whole brand. The value in this process becomes very evident when you move on to your website design, social media and print materials. Too often, the website and other marketing materials are not consistent in branding and your overall image becomes cluttered and confusing. Here are a few important aspects of brand development.

colour pallette
The first process is developing a colour palette to accompany your logo. This includes primary and secondary colours that mesh together harmoniously. This selection of colours will then be carried across your other marketing materials ensuring you have colour consistency and colour flexibility when needed.
typography selection
Font choice is critical to your brand. You may love two individual fonts but when they are used together—they clash. We will recommend a small set of print and web fonts that compliment each other. We usually have a headline, script/accent, subhead and body font as part of your typography team.
Images and Backgrounds
The images we select and present are the base of your image styling to be carried across all materials. They will likely not show up on everything but they do set a mood as guidance for moving ahead and help ensure a memorable theme and appearance.
By including development of these three brand elements into your logo design process, you set the map for future design direction saving you and your designer a lot of time now that these elements are defined.
Having a clean and simplistic logo is critical to your business being taken seriously. All too often, designers create these complex logos that are pretty cool if used in a large format but when it appears on your website design or business card, it is hard to tell what it is anymore. This does not mean that we create logos so simple that there is almost nothing to it. No way. We believe simple logos need to be smart. Every aspect of the icon, typography and relationship of both mesh perfectly together and are finely crafted for easy readability and effective communication.

We have a simple process we follow for our logo designs to ensure you receive a great logo that speaks to your target audience.
Understanding Your Business
First things first. Before we start anything, we have an in-depth conversation to understand your business and how you are unique. We discuss colours, typography, competitors along with personal likes and dislikes. The more we can get inside your head, the better.
Brainstorming Stage
This is the first part of the creative logo design process. Here we explore icon research, typographical possibilities, colour scheming and defining the general direction we plan to go with the logo development. Most of this is pretty messy until the next stage.
Design Development
Here we are putting all the elements together and trying different options and combinations of a variety of icon treatments and matching typography. As this progresses, final logo concepts are tightened up and narrowed down to complete a set of logo possibilities.
Presentation and Refinement
Final concepts are pulled together into a slick presentation format to show the customer. Upon feedback from our customer, we will make refinements to a selected logo or combine parts of two logos into one. Final logos are supplied in eps, jpg and png formats.
The beauty of working with us is that we are far more than logo designers. If the next process is moving your logo into a web design and printed collateral or even social media—we are able to complete all of this for you—right in-house. Graphic design has been the core of our business from the beginning so producing stationary, brochures, postcards and signage is second nature. Best of all—since we were the ones who developed your logo, we already understand who you are as a client, making the whole process much more streamlined.
If you require website design and customized SEO, we are experts at these skills as well. We have been creating and designing websites for over 20 years and have in-depth experience implementing a solid SEO plan to ensure your business website is being noticed.
Need help with content creation? We will help polish your existing content or develop completely new content that further develops your marketing materials and ensures you are projecting the right image and information to your viewers.
We consider ourselves to be a full service web development and marketing agency. Have a peek at some of the other services that we offer that go hand in hand with logo design.
Web DESIGN
No business can survive without an effective website. This goes far beyond throwing some information and a few pictures online. We build clean and communicative websites that convert viewers to customers. With well-executed SEO, your website will become your most effective marketing tool.
video production
A video can be a great compliment for any business. Many customers would rather watch your business intro video than read through a brochure to see if you are the right fit for them. We produce creative and engaging business videos that make an impact.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Stock photography can be a very solid solution for most businesses. We use it all the time. However, sometimes you need a custom photo shoot that is personalized just for your business to clearly illustrate how you are unique and showcase your team hard at work providing exceptional services.
