The first step of knowing whether you’ve created a good brand or not is the way your brand get recognized by the people or not. A good brand will leave a remarkable impression on the consumer’s mind.
You will know when your brand succeeds it by how they can describe your brand or maybe when they can tell the way your mandatory present. Mandatory in this term means your logo or tagline.
Will they talk about it out of mind? Will they remember the shape of your logo just by memorizing it?
Apparently, Signs.com is researching with approximately 150 people to try drawing the logos of 10 big companies just by using their memories. According to Karen Haller, “People have an emotional connection with color first. Then we take in the shapes, the logo, and we read the words, if we sense a mismatch, it’s the color we don’t believe, despite the beautifully crafted words.”
We can see the results that have been tested by 150 Americans and 1,500 drawings that they spent to remember the exact logo of the brands. The companies which including Apple, Adidas, Burger King, Domino’s, 7-Eleven, etc.
You can try to draw 5 of the logos first to know whether you are good at remembering their logos or not.
Here are some logos that you can take a look.

You can tell that people who’re drawing an apple with rainbow colors are the one with age range 30s until 40s years old or in 20s years old. Because the apple’s logo that shown with rainbow colors appear in 1977 and 1998.
