You don’t need a logo. At least not yet…

Wait, what?! Is Lyndsey TRYING to turn business away? I thought she designed logos!

Yup. No, there aren’t any typos. But it caught your attention, didn’t it? 😉

Let me explain why you don’t need a logo…

Here’s the thing. When well-meaning entrepreneurs start a business or want to rebrand their business, usually the first thing they run out to get is “a logo.”

That pretty little icon they can start slapping all over social media and their website.

I have done this. MANY TIMES.

But I’ve learned a lot of things along the way in this #bizlife.

And one of the things I’ve learned is that using a logo as a starting place for building your brand is like trying to build a house, roof first.

A roof is great. ESSENTIAL, even. But ya can’t start there. Any builder would find such a request laughable. The roof only makes sense in context of the entire structure – foundation, walls, etc.

So it is in the branding space.

Once you understand all the things you need to uncover before a logo will do you any good, the lightbulb moments are real!

There are many things a logo WON’T do for you, yet we put all this weight and expectation on it. I expand on this further in an IGTV / fb video I dropped recently.

Go give it a listen and think about where you’re at… Are you placing all this pressure on your brand’s logo?

How much foundation work went into it before your logo was crafted for you?

Is your business working the way you want it to?

Are you bringing in the type of clients you want to be?

Is your company having the IMPACT you initially dreamed it would?
