Is your logo big enough?

In the course of designing websites, I often get requests from clients that simply go against normal design conventions. I think that the struggle that most people have is that design conventions have changed but nobody told them.

Design from the 90s like large logos, starbursts and bright, obnoxious colors were great when the web was in its infancy and pages were built by amateurs. Your clients expect more from businesses today and don't want to look at a site that doesn't take into consideration current design principles.

Remember. Bigger isn't always better... it is just bigger. More color doesn't necessarily mean better.. it is just more.
