HOW MANY DIFFERENT LOGOS DO YOU PROPOSE?
After sketching out the idea I will submit you 1 main logo idea, which for me is the best, with some different alternatives, based on what was decided during preparation of the brief, and according to the chosen objectives and costs.
HOW MANY AND WHAT TYPE OF FILES WILL BE PROVIDED?
Once final logo is finished I will supply you with as many variations as you may need. You will be provided with a brief description of the idea underlying the graphics design.

This will be the basis of the actual design of your logo, and will contain all the work and variations on different backgrounds, here you will also find various sketches of your corporate image. Depending on the type of design your new logo will be represented only by symbol, with and without slogans, with black and white variants, all including an accurate description, to complete the graphic concept and motivations, about my choices in one way rather than another. - CMYK Version
All material that is printed is composed of 4 colours; Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). This version is ideal for printing in any format and on any material. - CMYK One Colours Version
Depending on the design of the logo you can print with only 1 colours, rather than the 4 standard colours. Ideal for printing on specific materials and objects, and to save costs of printing on paper. - White / Black (Pure) Variants
As the title suggests, Also the variants: single- colours white and single-colours black will be supplied. These versions serve if the logo should go on dark or very clear backgrounds and photos. The white colours version is very useful and fits well with coloured backgrounds, which may be of the same colours chosen for the identity. White and black versions resolve very often problems concerning the visibility of the logo on special backgrounds. - Colours RGB Version
Unlike the format for the print (CMYK), this is the format to display in the web and on screen. Transparent PNG and JPG format files will be supplied on a default background, optimized and compressed for the web. - Favicon
