Designing a logo is more than just creating a pretty symbol — it’s about crafting a visual identity that captures the essence of a brand. The first step is getting to know the client. For every brand design client, we conduct a discovery session to understand their business, values, target audience, and goals.
We create multiple logo concepts based on the insights we gather in the discovery session. This stage explores different directions and visual ideas that align with the brand’s identity.
For
AOA Bookkeeping, we decided that blue was the preferred color choice due to its association with trust and dependability, while being open to greens or teals. We also discovered that the client preferred a more minimalist design for the logo, but was also potentially interested in something with a bit of elegance.
We created a number of logo concepts based on these parameters and then delivered them to the client for review.

The client then reviews the concepts and provides feedback. In this case, the client really enjoyed the abstract double helix concept, but was concerned that people may read the monogram as “AOV” instead of “AOA”. So, she asked if we could alter the logo to more clearly signify “AOA” while keeping it abstract.
We provided several revised options to the client based on that feedback. Ultimately, we delivered the perfect logo for the client’s needs, and they were thrilled with the new branding. Once they approved the final design, we prepared it into all the necessary file types so they could use it appropriately across digital and print media alike.
