A logo is much more than just an image: it's the central element of your visual identity, the first impression you leave with your customers and partners. A powerful logo must be recognizable, memorable and reflect your company's values.
At WebiphiWe help Belgian SMEs and entrepreneurs create a strong, impactful visual identity. Discover the secrets of a successful logo and the mistakes to avoid.
1. Simple, effective design
A good logo must be simple to be easily recognizable and adaptable to all media (business cards, website, social networks, etc.).
Characteristics of effective design :
- Instant readability Avoid overly complex details.
- Streamlined shapes The simpler the logo, the more memorable it is.
- Harmonious colors limit the number of colors for a professional look.
💡 Example The logos of major brands such as Apple, Nike and McDonald's are simple yet instantly recognizable.
At WebiphiWe design minimalist, modern logos that fit in perfectly with current trends.
2. The importance of color and typography
📌 Choosing the right colors
Colors have a psychological influence on your customers. For example:
- 🔵 Blue trust, professionalism (often used in finance and technology).
- 🔴 Red dynamism, energy (suitable for young, bold brands).
- 🟢 Green nature, ecology (ideal for eco-responsible companies).
A good logo should be effective in black and white, for use on all types of media.
📝 Adapted typography
The choice of font influences the perception of your brand:
- Sans-serif (Helvetica, Montserrat, Poppins) modern and uncluttered.
- Serif (Times New Roman, Garamond) traditional and elegant.
- Script (Pacifico, Lobster) creative and original.
Webiphi helps you select a color palette and typography that match your brand.
3. An adaptable, timeless logo
A good logo must be versatile and adapt to different formats:
✅ Monochrome version for simplified printing.
✅ Vector format for enlargement without loss of quality.
✅ Horizontal and vertical version to adapt to digital and print media.
A timeless logo avoids short-lived trends and remains relevant for years.
At WebiphiWe take care to create logos that evolve and adapt to modern usage.
4. A logo that tells a story
Your logo should convey strong identity and tell a story. It must reflect :
- Your business (e.g. a construction company can integrate a building component).

- Your uniqueness (avoid the generic designs found everywhere).
