THE DOUBLE TAKE
Many people are able to pick up on nuances, so showing them something familiar with a subtle change will make them look twice. The second time they’ll start analyzing what’s changed, making them more familiar with your logo and comparing what is different. This creates strong brand awareness in their minds, making your particular business stand out from other competitors.
THE CONVERSATION STARTER
“Hey, did you see *YourNameHere’s* new logo?” Give your regular customers something to talk about! When they come by, after double taking on your holiday themed logo, many times it will be something they can talk to others about. “Water Cooler” conversations are made up of this stuff. Get your business in the mix by using an alternate, holiday themed logo.nike air jordan xx
THE COLOR SCHEME
Changing your logo can be as simple as swapping in a new color scheme for the week leading up to any holiday. Colors have powerful impact on our psychology. Let’s say your business booms in December because of the shifting weather patterns, try using a cooler blue color palette if it’s not part of your logo already. Cooler colors will match the changes in the weather. Just as warmer colors like, reds, oranges, and yellows match the changes we see in the summer. Seasonal color changes work best if your logo is normally 1-2 colors.
For example, here are some possible Logo123 holiday variations.
THE PROMOTION
Promotions are typically for a limited time. Pair your promotion with a limited time variation of your logo to give it some impact. If you’re running a thanksgiving special, working a turkey, real or abstract, to be part of your logo. Maybe it’s round body takes up part of an “o.” A special logo will enhance the uniqueness of your special deal.
