Each colour evokes different feelings in people, so it is important to create a logotype in the right colour for the company, that will communicate what the company wants to the people. Choosing the right colour can greatly enhance a logotype, and choosing the wrong colour can confuse the customer or even subconsciously deter them from buying the product.
