For example, a more playful brand would use a brighter colour (like Monzo\u2019s coral!), whereas a serious brand might pick a more muted palette (like JP Morgan or HSBC). The other sense check I always do is make sure that your main competitors don\u2019t have the same palette \u2013 otherwise you run the risk of building their brand with your marketing!\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\">2-\u00a0Think about how the colours look in situ \u2013 so when playing with colours, don\u2019t put them in a grid. Try them in an email, website banner etc to see how they look.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.1px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">3-\u00a0The more paired back you can get, the better. Think of a top brand \u2013 they probably have a maximum of three colours in their main palette. When you start adding in loads of core colours, it can get really overwhelming, really fast for designers and customers, and you run the risk of having a muddled look and feel.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3b94a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a3b94a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Option-16-1-768x450.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"HSBC colour palette.

Ideally, as most of the world is moving online these days, make sure you have at least one version which pass the WCAG accessibility guidelines for colour contrast \u2013 that\u2019s a standard for making sure that everyone, including people with impaired vision, are able to see it clearly. You can check how your colour combinations fare with this online tool. A really easy way to do this though is to have a version of your logo which works in all white. Generally speaking, try and keep your logo as \u201ctimeless\u201d as possible \u2013 try to avoid things that will age fast or feel too literal!<\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.1px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">In terms of formatting \u2013 most brands (but not all) will have a long version and a square version of their logos, so they can fit onto different marketing materials. I\u2019d recommend not relying on a background, as generally you\u2019ll need the file to work as a PNG with transparent background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"outline: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 0.1px; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">If you have a well known strapline, some brands tag it onto the bottom of their logo, however for smaller companies I would recommend leaving the focus on the logo itself as your strapline can change over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-542f6f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"542f6f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-780aad3\" data-id=\"780aad3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10ad397 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"10ad397\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span style=\"font-size: 35.2px;\">What do you predict the Christmas trends to be?<\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6362485 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6362485\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-298fb0e\" data-id=\"298fb0e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a84ee1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a84ee1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"outline: none;\">This is a hard one.
