Explain how usability, versatility, identifiability, and the one-colour test address different logo-design problems.
Answer
Usability checks whether distinctive characteristics remain when the logo is enlarged or reduced. Versatility checks whether it adapts to different applications, such as digital design, print, monograms, or heat transfer. Identifiability concerns simplicity and memorability. The one-colour test checks whether the logo still communicates its key features without depending on colour differences alone. These criteria address separate issues of scaling, application, recognition, and colour-independent communication.
