    Dental Logos- A Personal Story (Study)

    Dental FearWhen I was a young boy, my father took me to the clinic to restore my primary teeth. LOL. That was not the black parade, but my first dental abrade. :) To be very honest, I was too terrified to observe their logo but now I feel calm and ready to write this article on the basic elements of Dental Logos. ;)

    First of all, the logo design company should be knowledgeable, careful and selective about the field of dentistry, its instrumentation, and nitty-gritty. The characteristic feature of a dental logo which determines its uniqueness are White Teeth, obviously. You may frequently notice dental logos making reference to tooth decay, tooth sensitivity, various gum diseases and the four types of teeth. However, the main focus of dental logos is to pull in more people towards your dental clinic with the help of inspired design elements, creative style and innovative concepts.

    Design Elements of Dental Logos:

    1) Colors

    The colors used in dental logos are mainly white and red. Their simplicity and dullness give an elegant and subtle look to these logos. Other colors such as pink, blank and green are also sparsely used to adjust their slenderness and colorfulness.

    2) Fonts

    Dental logos normally use simpler fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial, Garamond and Corsiva. Simple typefaces further provide these logos with a better and professional look.

    3) Style

    The style in dental logos is usually illustrative and comic. Generally, detailed symbols such as Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Dental plates and Dentures depict the mission of the dental company and concerns of the customers, both at the same time. For the same reason, good dental logos are successfully able to distract kids from dental fear. And of course, it is natural… So I was not at all embarrassed at my time. :)

      Very good! Have you got a similar story for an arcitect firm? or perhaps someone reading this could comment on what is needed to create a good logo and corporate profile…

      Most of these logos still fall short of really helping take peoples minds of the fears that many have of the dentist. I’m a designer for a company that specializes in dental marketing called Practice Cafe. We always try to incorporate other aspects into a logo. Weather that it be symbols taken from the area in which the dental practice is located, or simply taking the initials of the dental practice. One thing we always strive to do is venture away from a tooth, or other cliche symbols of dentistry.

      1.) You don’t want an image of a pulled tooth, to represent your brand. The last thing you want someone who is scared to visit the dentist to think about is a pulled tooth (even if it is smiling at you).

      2.) You want your Dental Practice to stand out, and be unique.
