Love the Yellow and Blue..

Driving by BEST BUY today, I started thinking about their logo and why it was such a successful design. It occurred to me that maybe the reason I liked the logo was because of the power of the colors yellow and blue.

So I started looking around a bit and came up with this...

 Logo and Design and Color Symbology / Meaning

The color of you logo alone will create an impression of your company, so choose colors that will send the right message about your business. Here is some basic color symbology:

Blue – Knowledge, Stability, Trust, Conservatism (Possible Danger: May be perceived as stuffy or old-fashioned)

Green – Nature, Wealth, Growth, Go (Possible Danger: Can be perceived as envy)

Red – Passion, Energy, Excitement (Possible Danger: Can be perceived as angry)

Pink – Love, Femininity, Calm (Possible Danger: Can be perceived as little-girlish)

Orange – Fun, Energy, Warmth, Nature (Possible Danger: Not perceived as a serious color)

Yellow – Happiness, Laughter, Energy, Creativity (Possible Danger: Can be overpowering and over-stimulating)

Purple – Royalty, Wealth, Sophistication (Possible Danger: Certain shades can be perceived as adolescent)

Brown – Dependability, Stability, Friendliness, Nature (Possible Danger: Can be perceived as dull)

Black – Sophisticated, Sexy, Elegant, Mysterious (Possible Danger: The overuse of black can be overwhelming and foreboding)

I thought it was pretty cool how accurate these definitions were when thinking about our culture and those of our rivals.
