The phrase ‘Less is More’ can best describe a simple logo.

Logos overloaded with text, graphics, and irrelevant concepts are a big no for consumers. It confuses them when decoding what exactly the logo is trying to depict. A simple logo makes use of enthralling color tones with a basic graphical image. The image can convey the company's services, values, or customer service through evident or hidden messages. Consumers wish to relate to brands with simple yet effective logos. Many logos of world-famous brands are just a letter from the brand name or a swoosh. These successful logos were barely remodeled or edited due to their popularity amongst their consumers, which has made them evergreen for years.

A memorable logo is the one which survives in the time machine. Uniquely designed logos strike the consumers and can be remembered for a long time. Also, if the design element of your logo contains some feeling or emotion which the consumers experience while using the product, your logo will always remain close to their hearts. Evergreen logos contain some personal touch or human element which people can relate to and remember it for many years.

Appropriate

A logo becomes evergreen when it is not altered or redesigned to fit into the company’s various marketing collateral. The logo should be designed such that it can be appropriately displayed on all brand items. Perfect symmetry and a harmonized logo doesn’t need to be changed often and can leave a lasting impression on the minds of the target audience. A symmetrical logo can be rightly displayed on all of the brand’s marketing collateral and can last for a longer time making it evergreen.

A logo that takes a permanent spot in people's hearts is an ageless logo. A logo design that is not conventional will always inspire people. A simple, memorable, and appropriately designed logo is sure to last decades without any major edits or redesigns. If you incorporate these aspects into your logo, it is bound to be evergreen.
