Why Your Logo File Format Matters

Choosing the right file format from the start saves hours of frustration later. The two formats you need are SVG and PNG, and they serve different purposes.

• SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) — resolution-independent, scales to any size without pixelation. Use this for your website, printed materials, and anywhere you need perfect quality at any scale.
• PNG — a raster format with optional transparency. Use this for social media profiles, email headers, and platforms that do not support SVG.
• Transparent PNG — same as PNG but with no background, so the logo sits cleanly on any coloured surface.
• Favicon (64×64 PNG) — the small icon shown in browser tabs and bookmarks. Download this separately for your website.

Picking the Right Template

The template gallery is organised into eight industry categories: Tech, Food & Drink, Retail, Health, Creative, Legal & Finance, Construction, and Generic. Start by filtering to your industry, then consider these factors:

• Layout — icon-left suits most brands and reads naturally left to right. Icon-top works well for circular profile images. Icon-only is bold and modern for established brands.
• Colour palette — your template's default colours are a starting point, not a constraint. Swap them freely in the Colours tab.
• Typography — the font sets the tone. Inter and DM Sans feel modern and neutral; Space Grotesk is technical; Playfair Display signals heritage and quality.

Customising Your Logo

The editor gives you full control over five aspects of your logo. Changes preview instantly — you never have to guess what the final result will look like.

• Icon — choose from 200 curated icons. Use the search box to find the right one fast.
• Text — enter your business name and an optional tagline. Keep the business name short; taglines work best under six words.
• Colours — change icon colour, text colour, and background independently. Use a transparent background when you need the logo to sit on coloured or patterned surfaces.
• Font — 18 professional font options. Adjust weight (Regular, Semibold, Bold) to control visual impact.
• Layout — reposition the icon relative to the text, or go icon-only or text-only.

Colour Psychology for Logo Design

Colour is the fastest way to communicate brand personality. Here are the most common associations:

• Blue — trust, reliability, professionalism. Popular in finance, tech, and healthcare.
• Green — growth, health, sustainability. Ideal for wellness, food, and eco brands.
• Red/Orange — energy, appetite, urgency. Effective for food, fitness, and retail.
• Purple — creativity, luxury, wisdom. Used in beauty, education, and premium services.
• Black/Dark — sophistication, authority, minimalism. Works for legal, architecture, and fashion.
• White/Light — cleanliness, simplicity, openness. Common in healthcare and tech.

Typography Tips for Logos

The font you choose is as important as the icon. A few rules that professional designers follow:

• Use no more than two fonts — one for the business name, one for the tagline.
• Bold weight for the business name draws the eye; regular or semibold for the tagline keeps hierarchy clear.
• Sans-serif fonts (Inter, DM Sans, Plus Jakarta Sans) look modern and scale well at small sizes.
• Serif fonts (Playfair Display, Lora) signal tradition, quality, and heritage.
• Monospace fonts (Fira Code) are distinctive for tech and developer-facing brands.
• Test your logo name at small sizes — if it becomes unreadable below 32px, increase font weight or simplify the name.

Using Your Logo Across Platforms

Once downloaded, here is where to use each format:

• Website header — use the SVG for crispness on all screens and resolutions.
• Social media profile photo — use the square PNG (minimum 400×400px). Most platforms crop to a circle, so favour icon-only or icon-top layouts.
• Email signature — use the PNG. Paste the image into your email client's signature settings.
• Printed materials — use the SVG. Send it to your printer or design studio and it will look perfect at any size.
• Browser tab — use the Favicon download and follow your website platform's instructions to set it.
• Dark backgrounds — use the transparent PNG and switch your logo text and icon to white or light colours.
