Your Embroidered Logo: Keep It Simple!

Hi! It’s me - the logo you’re creating. Make sure to keep me simple. I understand it’s hard to develop a design that represents your entire business, how you do business and who you cater to but it’s important to create a basic, straightforward logo for it to be readable, distinctive, memorable and applicable to a variety of mediums.

Your Embroidered Logo: Neon Thread Colors?

Love bright colors? Vibrant colors look especially good against darker colored apparel such as black hoodies, charcoal colored fleece and pullovers in navy. Using bold, vivid thread colors can make an embroidered design really stand out.  But, this isn’t necessarily true for thread in neon colors.

I prefer to use “almost neon” thread shades when a customer requests neon colors. My reason? Neon colored thread is sightly thicker and less reflective than typical embroidery thread. When these threads are used for an embroidered logo the finished design doesn’t look quite as nice as if the same logo was embroidered with “almost neon” thread. Instead, the appearance is similar to designs embroidered in white thread where each individual strand is obvious and every little imperfection is noticeable. Instead of choosing a neon color, I use the next brightest shade in a non-neon thread. While the color might not be quite as bright, the quality of the embroidery will look better.

Your Embroidered Logo: Easy Refresh!

Hey! It's me - your embroidered logo. I could use a change.  I’ve been sporting the same colors for the last few years.  I need a new look. How about adjusting my colors so I can have a fresh, updated appearance?

Changing the thread colors of an embroidered design is easy as long as the different areas of color (not the particular color) remain the same. You can make simple changes like swapping the garment color with the one of the colors in the design. For example, instead of always wearing navy blue shirts, use navy as one of the thread colors and have your design embroidered on a different shirt color. Or, try adjusting the shades of color.  A light blue may be changed to a teal, a standard red may become an orangish red or a dark green may become a shade of olive. Think about the shirt color and what colors will look good and contrast well against that background color.

Ready for a bigger change? Use bright, almost neon colors. Picture a black hoodie with your design in rust and olive thread colors.  How about a navy pullover with a light orange and dark lavender design?  White hats with a logo in a vibrant orange, lavender and navy blue? Using bright colors can make a logo really pop! 

Afraid using bright colors may be too much of a change? Order just a few items at first and remember, you can always revert back to your previous colors.  Just make sure you see a digital proof before your garments are embroidered and check to see that all the elements in your logo show up well. Your business name should have the most emphasis and the remaining details should be clearly seen. Once I, your embroidered logo, have a fresh, updated appearance I’ll attract more attention wherever I go.

Consider purchasing hats, knit beanies or bags to give away to customers and friends.

Your Embroidered Logo: Simple Is Best!

Wow! Love that logo on those T-shirts! It “pops”! Can that same logo be embroidered on polo shirts? It's really detailed, has color gradations and all the elements of the design are outlined in black...

Yes, the design can be embroidered on shirts but that won’t necessarily produce the best embroidered logo. You can remove the color gradations and small details but the embroidered design probably won’t have the same impact as the printed version because ink can reproduce finer detail than stitches and the look of individual stitches can draw unwanted attention.  A better option would be to simplify the logo for embroidery and use a shirt color that contrasts well with the primary colors in the design. Embroidered logos look best when the design is fairly simple. Then, the message of the logo can really stand out.

Your Embroidered Logo: Second Logo Placement

Want to have two logos embroidered on shirts? Wondering where the second design should be placed? On the right chest? A sleeve? Is one placement more current, appropriate or effective than the other?

Sleeve logos and other non-traditional logo placements are popular now. But, you should consider the importance of the second logo.  Is it equal to the first logo or does it support it? Will the two designs work well together when seen at the same time or will one overpower the other? Will having two logos be too much visually for the front of a shirt?

While some designs may be similar in size, shape and coloration, other logos won’t work well together and will look better and have more impact if they aren’t seen at the same time. In the end, it’s a matter of the relationship between the two logos, whether the designs work together visually and your personal preference about what you think looks good.
