So this has been on my mind lately. I recently launched a small SaaS project with a couple of friends, and we quickly realized that designing a logo is way harder than it looks. At first we tried to make it ourselves using an online tool. It looked cool on screen, but when we printed it on some packaging mockups it looked messy and way too complicated. Too many colors, weird fonts, and honestly it didn’t really say anything about our brand.
Now I’m wondering what the most common logo design mistakes startup founders make. Is it usually overthinking the design, trying to make it too detailed, or maybe ignoring the brand strategy behind it? Curious if anyone here has gone through the same thing while building a new brand.

Funny you mention that because I went through almost the exact same situation last year with my e-commerce project. We initially tried to design the logo ourselves and ended up with something that looked trendy but didn’t scale well across different formats. Later I realized one of the biggest mistakes founders make is focusing only on how the logo looks instead of how it works as part of the overall brand identity.
When I started researching the price for designing a logo, I found a pretty helpful breakdown explaining what usually goes into the branding package cost and why professional branding often includes more than just a logo file. Seeing that made me realize why our first attempt failed — we skipped things like brand guidelines and consistency. After reworking the design with those things in mind, the whole brand started to feel way more professional.

Reading this thread actually reminds me how much thought goes into branding in general. Even outside of startups, I notice how companies refresh their logos every few years and sometimes the changes are super subtle. I guess there’s a balance between keeping things recognizable and still modernizing the look. I don’t run a business myself, but I always find it interesting how design affects the way people perceive a brand. Sometimes the simplest logos end up being the most memorable. It’s kind of fascinating how something so small visually can have such a big impact on how a company is remembered.

I had a very similar experience with an early SaaS project. We overcomplicated the logo with too many colors and details, and it didn’t scale well in real use. The main mistake was skipping brand strategy and focusing only on visuals. A logo should stay simple, clear, and adaptable. I also check Global UX Agencies resource site to see how professional teams connect branding with UX thinking.
