The 2016 Construction Marketing Outlook Survey found that 84% of construction professionals planned to increase marketing tactics. Whether that's through building a website, posting on social media, or redesigning signs and business cards, you need a logo to build your brand.

When done right, a logo is memorable and unique. It helps customers remember your business. Imagine a future customer wants to renovate their kitchen. If they saw a sign with your logo or one of your branded business cards, your company may pop into their head when thinking about who to hire for their project.
