A logo is an essential part of any company’s overall marketing strategy; it’s a company’s most important graphical representation. A great logo could even be the deciding factor that helps a potential new client choose your company rather than a competitor. The importance of logo design is no different for financial advisors. In fact, for advisors especially, a logo must convey trust, competence, and stability.

This post contains a brief video of Twenty Over Ten’s Co-Founder, Ryan Russell, and Director of Sales & Marketing, Samantha Russell, answering common questions from clients about their logos. The four types of logos are broken down and then our logo design process is explained. Want to know what you should consider when creating a logo? This post lays it all out for you.
