Your Embroidered Logo: Artwork Challenges

Using an online program to design your logo? That can be a good way to visualize your design but it can lead to problems if you submit your work to your decorator.

If you use your design as artwork, mention that it is generally what you want and may need some fine tuning. Your design may look acceptable to you and it may be good. But, if you’re not accustomed to setting up artwork it may need some modifications. Often small changes like resizing an element, adjusting the spacing or adding thickness to a font can make a big difference. This way your decorator knows they can suggest improvements and your design can benefit from their experience.

Your Embroidered Logo: Logo Design For Multi-colored Fabrics

Hey! I’m a button down shirt with a subtle plaid design. I'm about to be embroidered with a business logo. But wait, the business owner is hesitant about proceeding with his order. He realizes that his design is too detailed for a plaid shirt, the colors in his logo don’t contrast well with the plaid and some of the text is too small to be readable. 

One week later...

I’m ready to be embroidered with a new logo! The business owner had his original design simplified into a bolder, single-color logo that contrasts well with my plaid fabric. Soon my fellow shirts and I will be seen with our new embroidered logo as we advertise wherever we are worn!

Your Embroidered Logo: Benifits of a Single-Color Design

Designing your business logo? Consider creating a simple, single-color logo. It will be easy to read and you’ll be able to vary the color of your logo if you want to wear different shirt colors. Plus, you can wear patterned and textured shirts as long as your logo’s thread colors contrast well with the fabric and none of the text is too small. Finally, looking for a different look? Use a tone-on-tone thread color so the color of your logo closely matches the fabric of the shirt and you’ve created a subtle, classy look!
