Study Notes

Kim & Lim (2018): "A Comprehensive Review on Logo Literature"

This article reviews logo literature over the past 30 years, categorizing research findings into six topics.
It provides a framework for understanding logos from theoretical and practical perspectives.
Key topics include theoretical foundations, logo design/redesign, basic and additional logo elements, outcomes of logo use, and practical applications.

Theoretical Foundations

Corporate Visual Identity (CVI): Logos are central to a company's visual identity, shaping perceptions and differentiating brands. Processing fluency enables easy recognition, leading to positive brand evaluations.
Basic logo elements include typeface, shape, and color.
Additional elements include presentation elements, animated and sonic logos, and digital considerations.

Luffarelli, Mukesh & Mahmood (2019b): "Let the Logo Do The Talking"

Examines how logo descriptiveness affects brand equity.
Focuses on descriptive logos (e.g., a coffee cup for a coffee brand) which visually indicate product/service type.
Findings: Descriptive logos enhance ease of processing, improving brand authenticity and credibility. They lead to better brand evaluations and higher purchase intentions.
Descriptive logos are more effective for unfamiliar brands.
Product valence (positive associations) boost the impact of descriptive logos, but negative associations can harm them.
Easier processing, greater authenticity, brand liking, and higher willingness-to-buy/net sales are benefits of descriptive logos.

Luffarelli, Mukesh & Mahmood (2019a): "A Study of 597 Logos"

Investigates the effectiveness of descriptive logos in building consumer recognition and loyalty.
Descriptive logos have clear visual cues about the product, while nondescriptive logos do not.
Findings: Descriptive logos help consumers understand the brand's purpose, leading to increased authenticity perceptions, favorable evaluations, and higher purchase intentions.
Descriptive logos generally boost sales, though they are less effective for well-known brands and products with negative associations.
Startups should consider descriptive logos to quickly establish brand identity.

Bajaj & Bond (2017): "Beyond Beauty: Design Symmetry and Brand Personality"

Explores the influence of logo design symmetry on brand personality.
Brand Personality is the set of human characteristics associated with a brand (e.g., excitement, sincerity, sophistication).
Asymmetric logos evoke excitement, while symmetric logos suggest calmness and stability.

Ron Kohavi and Stefan Thomke (2017): "The Surprising Power of Online Experiments"

Highlights the use of A/B tests (controlled online experiments) for data-driven decisions and iterative improvements.
Data-driven decisions replace guesswork, enable quick idea validation, and guide resource allocation.
A/B tests facilitate iterative improvements, boosting revenue and performance.
Risks include data integrity concerns, response variance among different user segments, and confusing causality with correlation.
