Your Embroidered Logo: Correct Size?

You’re ordering new embroidered shirts. You had a new logo designed and you’ve just received your digital proof. You open the file and your logo looks huge! You know it won’t be that big when embroidered on your shirts but will it be okay? You check the finished measurements but it’s still hard to judge if the size is correct. How do you decide?

If you can print the file at the correct size then that will work. If you have extra time then you can request an embroidered sample. That’s a great option especially if you also want to check the thread colors. But, what if you can’t print your logo at the right size and your time is limited?

Cut out a piece of paper that’s the correct size and general shape of your logo. Then, try to picture the different elements in your design at the correct size. Make sure your business name is readable and any small text isn’t too small to read.
