Logo Design
You’ve gotten this far, you understand what a logo is and why you’d need one.
Finding a type and image (brand mark is the proper name) you want to convey to your readers that not only “looks pretty” but explains you very succinctly is an artform in itself. It’s not a $5 clip art job we offer, but a deep dig into what makes your position as an author unique and what makes your stand out above the crowd.
Elefont Books owner Suzanna Chriscoe has more than 22 years of experience building logos for all sorts of businesses from your average accountant or handyman to a vegan bondage leather company. (OMG Yes, that is a real thing!) She started her design journey in a print shop with a Mac and a bunch of clients needing business cards and stationery. Suzanna will make sure to use her years of expertise to make you something that makes a statement and is uniquely yours.

Logo vs. Branding... Is there a difference?
Yes! A logo is a portion of your branding, but branding is sooo much more than just a logo!
And… before you’re ready for a professional site, your branding should be in place.
A logo by itself is a graphic element that represents you, while a brand is a combination of all tangible and intangible aspects that represent all the facets which build your business. Without the brand, the logo wouldn’t have a real meaning, it would be simply a graphical element.
Let’s put this in a real world example. The Nike check alone or with words is a logo. If you saw it anywhere it’s still just a check. The effort the company has put into branding all of the colors, feels, and emotions is what helps you know it is synonymous with an athletic shoe and apparel company. It sets the tone of who and why you want to support the brand.
When combined, a well-designed logo and an effective branding strategy helps reach your readers in an effective way, but also create a resilient, industry-leading position among competitors. Don’t underestimate the importance of a well-designed logo, aligned to your overall branding strategy. It will be a rewarding investment for you in the long term and built in a way to grow as your business flourishes.
Branding
Like matching each book within a series, you as an author need to build a consistent brand to become a leader in your genre.
Taking the logo one step further to build a visual brand helps you become instantly recognized. It’ll make you look like you have your “ish” together. Because frankly, you will! Professionally planned and executed your brand will follow you through social media posts, advertising, book signings and beyond.
Branding isn’t only for drawing new readers but sets you off as a leader in your field.
