Let’s get started!
Tips For Creating Happy Logos
Happy logos serve as a visual representation of your brand or business. It signals to your customers that your business is approachable, friendly, and upbeat. It also conveys that your customers will have a fun and happy time with you.
Happy logos also tap into your customer’s emotions. Similar to cute marketing, using happy logos tends to evoke a sense of joy from your customers, making them more likely to purchase from you.
For an effective happy and cheerful logo, take note of the following tips:
Use vibrant colors
Happy colors like sunny yellow, bright orange, and neon blue should be used for this logo design. You may even consider using a rainbow for that burst of color.
You can also use soft and sweet colors for a more charming pastel logo look. These colors can be light pink, sky blue, pastel green, creamy whites, or lavender.
Avoid dark colors like black, gray, deep brown, or dark red as they can be too harsh or mature for your desired look.
Choose fun typography
Playful and whimsical fonts are best to use for this design to really nail that happy feel. Go for fonts such as Arco, Dogways, Super Bubble, Sunday Mango, and Comfortaa. You can also add more decorative elements to your text, such as adding a face on letter “O” or adding more curls for S and G.
Avoid formal or structured serif fonts as these tend to look more stern and serious. Go for rounded and bubblier sans-serif fonts instead.
You can see some fun typography on famous brands aimed for kids such as Toys R Us, Disney, Baby Einstein, and Pampers. Try to emulate them for your own logo!
Utilize faces
While you can already convey happiness based on your color scheme or font, nothing can communicate it better than using a smiling or grinning face on your design. Face logos are the best way to fully convey emotions. You can even pair it with your mascot jumping around or dancing to fully express their happiness.
