Embroidered Logos: Tints, Gradations, Shadows...

Tints, color gradations, shadows and fine outlines can make your printed logo look cool but do these effects work for embroidered logos?  Possibly not.  Often these elements must be simplified or eliminated.  Tints must be translated into a color, gradations simplified to one color, shadows translated into a color or eliminated and fine outlines widened or eliminated. Concerned that your embroidered logo may look boring?  Although many embroidered logos can't contain all the fine details seen in printed logos, embroidery thread has its own ability to "catch the light" and will give your logo its own unique appearance.
