Your Embroidered Logo: Questions Answered

If an embroidered design has a high density does that mean its a high-quality design?

No. Embroidery density is often too high. This causes designs to be "bullet-proof". A quality embroidered design has the proper density that covers the fabric without creating holes or wrinkles.



When you pay for artwork should you receive a copy of your artwork?

Yes. Make sure you receive copies of your artwork including copies in file formats you can't open. Don't depend on the artist to keep your artwork for you.



Can you achieve a custom branded look without a large financial investment?

Yes. If you just need a few shirts for a small group and your logo is fairly simple consider picking 2-3 shirt colors and using these colors for your logo colors. For example, choose red, white and blue shirts and have your logo embroidered in the two colors that contrast with each shirt color so the white shirts have a red and blue logo, the red shirts have a blue and white logo and the blue shirts have and red and white logo.

Your Embroidered Logo: Maximize Logo Exposure!

Make a Statement With Hats - Simplify your logo so its no more than 2" high x 2.5" wide and have it centered on a front panel instead of the center seam. Simple, bold logos work best for embroidery!


Maximize Logo Exposure - Have your business logo embroidered on the left chest and the back shoulder when having jackets embroidered. Clear, distinct logos work best.


Try Tone-On-Tone colors - Try a tone-on-tone embroidered logo (logo embroidered in a thread color that's slightly different than the garment color) for a subtle, rich look on embroidered button down shirts.

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.
