How to Talk About a Logo at Work in English
If you’re looking at a logo with your colleagues this week, it helps to have the right words ready. You’ll be able to describe its colours and shapes and share your opinion.
Phrases you can use
I like the colours.
You think the colours look good.
It's a simple design.
The design is easy to understand and does not have too much detail.
The shape stands out.
The shape is easy to notice.
It looks a bit busy.
The design has a little too much detail.
“A bit” makes the criticism sound gentler.
What do you think?
You’re asking someone for their opinion.
Could we make it simpler?
You’re suggesting that the design should have less detail.
This is a polite way to suggest a change.
It works well on a screen.
The logo looks good and is clear when shown on a screen.
Let's try a different colour.
You’re suggesting that the team test another colour.
A practice script for your level
I looked at the logo with my team. I like the colours. The shape stands out, and it's a simple design. It works well on a screen. I want to see it on our documents too. What do you think? Could we try a different colour?
I looked at the logo with my team today. I like the colours, and I think the shape stands out. It's a simple design, which makes it easy to recognise. It works well on a screen, but I'm not sure about the version with the extra detail. It looks a bit busy to me. Could we make it simpler? I'd also like to try a different colour and compare the versions. What do you think? We could look at them together before we decide.
I was looking at the logo with the team, and my first thought was that it's a simple design. I like the colours, and the shape stands out without drawing attention away from the name. That said, I wonder whether it works as well when it's small. It works well on a screen, but I'd like to see it on a document or a presentation too. The version with the extra detail looks a bit busy to me. Could we make it simpler? Maybe we could try a different colour as well, just to see how it feels. What do you think? I'd be interested to hear which version you prefer and whether anything feels unclear.
Common mistakes
Instead of We discussed about the logo.
Say We discussed the logo.
Use “discuss” without “about” before the topic.
Instead of Could we make it more simpler?
Say Could we make it simpler?
“Simpler” already means “more simple.”
