How to Find YOUR Logo

January 7, 2020

Discovering your logo is a journey, not a one-stop-shop.

Many online logo design programs present you with a limited number of clipart-like designs users can customize with color and name, but little else. Small businesses often turn to this option because of ease or pricing, but small businesses have a hard enough time standing out in the sea of big box stores and chain retailers that have branded themselves with some of the most recognizable logos that exist...and that did NOT come from an online logo design program. Working with a designer, your logo becomes an identity—not just a placeholder.

A custom logo designer, like Behind Your Design , will discuss with you your vision, inspiration and goals to create a logo that is as individual and unforgettable as your business. Our recent logo design for Interiors by Bonnie drew inspiration from a patterns found in filigree work and a wallpaper design. Inspiration can be found anywhere, but the online logo design sites don't allow that level of customization. Because of the lack of options, many businesses settle. Your logo is a visual representation of your business, and you didn't just settle on your business.

Your logo should speak your company's culture, your brand's voice, your business's story. Without words, how would you describe your business? A designer knows the questions to ask to get the answer. Your business is unique to you, and your logo should be as well. Having a designer will help you remain focused and on brand.

As much as a logohelps your customers recognize your work, your logoalso puts a value on the work you do. People want the Nike logo, not because they are fans of orange checkmarks, but because they know they are getting the quality associated with the Nike brand. A logothat is individual and recognizable lets people know you are proud of the work you do and you are willing to put your brand's "stamp of approval" on it.

Behind Your Design loves working with businesses to discover their identity and amplify their voice. A custom logo gives your clients a way to identify you and your work at a glance. Make sure your logo represents you. Contact Behind Your Design today to discuss logo design and branding options.

From Ecommerce to Engineered Solutions: Our Work with Benecor

By Chelsea Mills • January 7, 2026

At Behind Your Design, we enjoy working with companies that are clear on who they are and ready to make sure their marketing reflects it. Benecor was a great example of this. Benecor is a national, family-owned systems integrator that works with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers across multiple industries. Their previous website leaned heavily toward an ecommerce experience, but it did not fully communicate what truly sets them apart: custom-engineered fueling and storage solutions designed around each customer’s operation. Our objective was to shift Benecor’s brand and website from a product-first approach to one that clearly highlights their engineering expertise, problem-solving process, and long-term partnerships.
