Hello and welcome to another pill of
Asimov for professionals. I'm Pablo Apiolazza, your host
and creative director of Asimov media.
And today we're diving
into the fascinating
world of logos. Whether you're
a marketer, science communicator
or just someone interested in branding,
this episode is for you. So the type
of logos is the first
thing that we will talk about.
And the naming logo is the most
common term used
by, well, almost anyone. Logo
is the word that comes from Latin.
So additional elements
like symbols, images, or icons
in the text do not represent
the logo because the logo is always
a lettering. Type
Setting is only a grouping
of letter words. Then we have imago types.
Imago type come from the Latin
word imago, which means
image, which for me is one of the most
interesting type of logos.
And the key is the balance
between the icon and the word. They are typically
used together and separately,
so they could turn
into an icon and a logo.
Logo is the Well, the ISO logo then
is. And the image that
makes an icon and an image path
with text in a single element with
interaction, they don't work separately.
And then we have
isotypes. The isotype come
from the Greek ISOs.
That means equal or identical.
So in isotope is the graphic
representation of the business
or the institution. It's just
the icon of image that visually shows
the values and personality of your
branding or product or service.
Now let's talk about how logos are stored.
Vector formats like SD,
SVG or AI are the gold standard.
AI is not the artificial
intelligence but Adobe
illustrator and they can
be resized without losing
quality, making them incredibly versatile.
These are the most
common formats, but we beware
because PDF files
can also store non vector
images. And then we have
the raster images.
For example, PNG or Jpeg. There
are more format, but these
two are the most popular.
PNGs are great for digital
use. They support transparency,
which is that you can put images in behind
them. But the problem
is that they lose quality
when resized. JPEGs are generally not
recommended for logos as
they lose quality when compressed
and they don't support transparency.
So this is the problem that
we can have with the logo that
is in raster format. So why vector?
Well, Vector allows
for transparency and scalability
so we can make
those smaller. Bigger.
And according to the use.
So in a nutshell, as
for logo versus for different
applications to your
graphic designer agency and send your
logos in vector format, or at least a PNG
format with a good size and transparency.
