Your Embroidered Logo: JPEG Background?

Time to update your spring business wardrobe?  You've chosen some performance polo shirts. You upload your artwork to your embroiderer's site.  But, when you create your design mock-up your logo is surrounded by a white rectangle! Will your embroiderer know to remove the white area?

While its good to mention concerns to your embroiderer they'll know to eliminate the white jpeg background.  But, you should discuss white areas within your logo.  Your embroiderer will want to know if the fabric should show through these areas or be embroidered in white thread. Sometimes this is obvious but often a design can be interpreted either way so its best to mention how your logo should be set-up so it doesn't have to be redone.

Your Embroidered Logo: Simplify Eliminate Contrast

Ordering polar fleece jackets for your business staff?  Want your custom embroidered polar fleece to look GREAT? Start by adjusting your artwork.

1. Simplify your logo
2. Eliminate small text
3. Contrast thread colors with fleece color

There is a tendency for thread to sink into plush fabrics like polar fleece so you may want to slightly increase the overall size of your design to improve readability.

Having button down shirts embroidered? You may include your tagline text. Small text can be embroidered on tightly woven fabrics because the thread will sit on the top of the fabric and be clearly seen rather than sinking in and getting "lost". So, if your tagline is short and your logo isn't too detailed you can include your tagline but don't go overboard. When in doubt, leave small text out.  This will allow more room for the most important element in your logo - your BUSINESS NAME.

Your Business Logo: Dark on Dark?

Your business logo is in dark colors. It looked great against a white background in the proof your artist sent.  But, you want to have it embroidered on black shirts. You're thinking that adding a white border around the logo will fix the problem, correct?

Not necessarily! Unlike printing where a thin border can usually be added, often there isn't enough room to add a border to an embroidered design. Also, embroidery often looks and wears best when its not over embellished. What are your options? If you don't want to switch to a light shirt color then adjust your colors so your design can be seen against a dark background. Once you have a "light" and "dark" version for your logo you'll have a much greater color selection when choosing embroidered work polo shirts.
