Details of this professional logo design for a lawyer firm
As the customer's lawyer firm specified a lot of restrictions about the symbols that could be used in this logo design, focusing in the very professional lawyer firm name seemed the best starting point. The main focus was given to the firm name initials: CFA.
This simple and classic logo design approach was turned into a lawyer related concept by adding a bent corner effect to the main square symbols. The bent corner conveys an idea of paper sheets, which look like legal documents, and make the whole logo seem professional lawyer firm related. On top of that, the bent corner catches the attention and leads the view through this lawyer firm initials.
Lawyer logo designs should be trustworthy and strong. So a red color scheme was chosen for this logo design. It's a bold color scheme: bright, but also strong and serious: appropriate to symbolize a professional lawyer firm which relies on prestige, strength and trust. Three colors (plus some smart usage of the white background) were enough to create some tridimensional shading effects: that way the lawyer logo design stands out without becoming too print expensive.
In a simple text based logo design the importance of the typography used becomes critical. I chose a classic serif font and then I customized the font design to make it more distinctive. By using all capital letters the idea of strong professional firm is reinforced. The connection of the full company name with the CFA symbol is strengthened by using bold first letters. The result is a serious lawyer firm identity, clean and professional.
The whole lawyer firm logo focuses in the company name in a clean, professional and straightforward way, far from lawyer related design topics. Every detail in this serious and classic logo is designed to convey and idea of trust and strength.
