This month, dRC will be discussing one of my favorite things to design - logos. First off, it is important to know that your logo is NOT your brand. The term “brand” can be confusing because it has evolved from its origins on the ranch, branding cattle with a hot iron to signify ownership, through the early days of advertising, during which "brand" simply described a logo or package design, to what it means today, sort of a catch-all word.
