Best Practices for Logo Sizes

Best Practices for Structuring Your Logo Design Project

  1. Vector Format. Request your logo designer provide a vector version of your logo. This allows for editing and changes later on.
  2. Vector Programs. The master file should be required in a vector program such as Illustrator or Sketch so that you or your designer can scale it up to any size you need.
  3. Long and Wide. You need a horizontal and vertical version of your logo. Consider all of the places your logo will be placed; website, hats, t-shirts, car wraps, business cards, and more and more…
  4. File Size. For online profiles, be sure to keep your logo image size smaller than 200KB, best if it were under 100KB.
  5. White and Black. You need your logo in a black version and white version as well as your full color version. Your logo should be recognizable on many different backgrounds and formats.
