Illustrative design concept

A CONSIDERED APPROACH

Built around the way
you’ll use it.

A useful logo brief explains the business, audience and applications. Share preferred styles and references, and identify any symbols, text or colors that must be included. Design scope and deliverables should be agreed before work starts.

01

Brand essentials

Include the exact name, optional tagline and audience.

02

Visual direction

Share examples of styles and explain what you like about them.

03

Practical use

Think about a logo on a small cap as well as on a large sign.

BEFORE YOU START

A clearer brief.
A better starting point.

Use your clearest source artwork. Include the finished size, application and required date. Confirm price, deliverables and timing before placing an order.

✓ Source artwork

✓ Finished dimensions

✓ Fabric or material

✓ Required format

✓ Deadline & quantity

CHOOSE BY APPLICATION

Where this service
makes a difference.

01

02

A refreshed existing mark

Identify what must remain recognizable and what is open to change.

03

A product or collection logo

Define how a new mark relates to the main brand and where it will appear.

KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

Small choices.
A different finished result.

These decisions help define the project before the artwork or production plan is approved.

Logo Designing: decisions to confirm

Decision	What to specify	Why it matters
Wordmark or symbol	Decide whether the name, an emblem or a combined lockup should lead.	The choice should reflect the intended use rather than a trend alone.
Primary and alternate layouts	Identify square, horizontal or small-placement requirements.	A single composition may not work equally well everywhere.
Simple and detailed versions	Consider a reduced version for small embroidery or one-color production.	Tiny decorative details can become impractical in some applications.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECT BRIEF

Put the details into context.

A new uniform brand needing a horizontal wordmark and a small cap emblem. Explain the audience, style references, preferred colors and how the two versions should relate.

BEFORE YOU SAY YES

Review the details.
Then take the next step.

A screen preview is one part of approval. Check the details that matter to the actual application.

01

Against the reference

Compare wording, proportions, linework and colors with the approved source.

02

At output size

Check small elements and line weights at the actual print or production dimensions.

03

With the next supplier

Confirm color setup, fonts, background treatment and the requested file format.

04

Before release

Open the delivered artwork in the intended workflow and verify that necessary assets are included.
