A logo must visualize the soul or essence of the brand.

At its core, a logo must visually resemble the spirit or purpose of the brand or of its creator.

A logo must be noticeable and memorable.

A logo must catch the eyes of consumers so they know it when they see it, and can describe it after.

A logo must only be interpreted in a specific number of ways.

A logo is not art and is meant to be perceived in specific ways.

If it is perceived in any other way, this is bad branding.
