Logo Testing Survey

Test logo designs

Not sure how to test your logo? You’ve come to the right place. With our free logo testing survey template, it’s quick and easy to put your logo design in front of the right people and collect high-quality feedback. Before you create and distribute your logo testing questionnaire, here are few things to think about…

1. What’s your goal?

Do you know what success looks like? What are your criteria for a good logo? To answer these questions, think about the context of your logo design project.

Are you rebranding? If so, are you looking for a complete departure from your old brand look and feel, or do you want to evolve it while still staying recognizable? What if you’re a new company or you’re launching a new product? Then your goal might be to stand out from the competition or to build a brand that’s as fresh and unique as possible.

Or maybe you want to align your brand to traditional values and trustworthiness, and you’re looking for something that feels solid and timeless. Whatever your standpoint, make sure you’ve identified and clearly articulated your goals, as this will help you optimize your survey questionnaire and interpret your results.

2. Is your logo survey-ready?

Once you’ve developed a logo design, you may want to get it into testing as fast as possible so you can iterate and improve it. But before you test logo ideas with human respondents, there are a few things you can do in-house that will improve your logo’s quality and usefulness.

One is to make sure it’s accessible to as many people as possible. Consider people with impaired vision or with disorders like color-blindness. Will the contrasts and shapes in your design be recognizable to them? Think also about whether you’ll be using your logo in different territories and cultures. Some colors and color combinations have different connotations in different places, so give your design a sense-check on that basis too.

Then there’s size and transposition. Will your logo work on very large and very small scales? Try the Piccolino test, which helps you weed out excess complexity in your design by making sure it works at a 2-inch x 2-inch scale.

3. Who is your testing population?

Who will test logo options for you? Can you make sure they’ll be representative of your intended audience? Impromptu tests on friends, family and colleagues can be a helpful early step, but if you’re undertaking a later-stage logo test, it’s important to make sure your respondent pool is a representative sample.

4. How will you use your results?

After you’ve put your survey live and the results are in, what are your next steps? Thinking about how you’ll process and analyze your results is an important part of planning your survey, as it can inform how you’ll set up your questionnaire and what kinds of question formats you’ll use. For example, if you’re including an open text question – recommended – to let survey takers give feedback in their own words, make sure you have the resources to either manually sift through responses or use natural language analysis to surface trends and patterns.
