1. Having a โtrendyโ logo
A great logo isnโt trendy โ itโs clear, versatile, and unique.
Your logo should reflect: who you are, what you do, and resonate with your target market.
Trend-based logos often look generic, get confused with other brands, and lack depth. Your business deserves better than โbasic.โ
2. Going crazy on colours
This isnโt an art project, itโs your business.
Stick with 2โ3 complementary colours that suit your industry, personality, and target market.
You can extend your palette with lighter/darker shades, but keeping it clean ensures your brand looks professional and cohesive.
3. Using too many fonts
Clear, easy-to-read fonts are key! Remember, design is all about communication โ so keep your fonts simple and complementary.
Stick to 2โ3 fonts used consistently (e.g., one for headings, one for body text).
A classic serif + sans serif pairing is always a winner.
4. Not being consistant
Your branding should look the same everywhere from your business cards to your social posts.
If your colours, fonts, or logo usage change constantly, your audience wonโt recognise you.

5. Cheap printing
If the price feels โtoo good to be true,โ it usually is. Poor quality printing makes your business look tacky and forgettable.
Invest in quality design, print finishes, and stock โ itโs often the first impression people will have of your brand, so make it count!
