Logo & Brand Identity Design

Go from brand strategy to logo, colour, type and a full brand guideline using free vector tools

Ghosla Academy · Design Team

A logo is only one part of a brand. In this course you will first learn to understand a business, its audience and its personality, and then turn that strategy into a logo, colour palette, typography and a complete visual system. You will work with free vector tools, use Indian examples like a chai brand, a tiffin service and a coaching centre, and finish with a brand guidelines PDF and mockups you can show clients. We also cover file handover, font licensing and trademark basics in India.

What you will be able to do

  • Define a brand's audience, values and personality before designing
  • Research, mood-board and sketch strong logo concepts
  • Build clean vector logos with shapes, grids and custom type in Inkscape or Figma
  • Create colour palettes, type systems and responsive logo variations
  • Write a brand guidelines document and present work with mockups
  • Understand file formats, client handover and basic trademark rules in India

What you build

  • Logo for a local Indian brand
  • Complete brand identity kit with a brand guidelines PDF

What you need to start

  • A laptop with Inkscape (free) or a free Figma account
