how long does it take?

Typically, when I receive a logo request, unless it's urgent, I prefer to sit on it for a couple of days to form thoughts together and research the business type and name concept. Once I've sat on your logo request for a couple of days, you'll probably get bombarded with a few designs. These designs are not polished or refined, but are sent to get an idea of whether or not we're heading in the right direction. With strong communication, most logos are completed within a week from the submission date.

what do I get?

Once we've landed on a design you love (hurray!), I'll package it up with three different sizes of transparent .png images, one square social media .png image on a white background, one .svg (for screen printing and embroidery) and one .pdf (for business cards or any other instances you might need it for). You'll also get an invoice in your little folder. Once the invoice is paid, I'll sign over the rights and add the form to your folder. Ideally, you'll print off the document and sign it for your records.

*Keep in mind, the logo will not be yours until the invoice has been paid and the rights have been signed over.

which file do I use?

You use the...

.png for photoshopping on top of other content. .pngs are transparent, so you can put them on your invoices, posters, pamphlets and other documents. You can even use them for social media usually. Social media will change the background to white (occasionally black). Keep in mind, the .png images are transparent and will appear as all black or on a black background in some programs. This is completely normal.

Square .png for your social media profiles. .png images are crisp and look great on Instagram and Facebook.

.pdf image for uploading to Vista Print or other printers of that sort. It's infinitely scalable (unless they're designed with the "watercolour effect"), so it won't turn pixelated when it's enlarged. Unless you know what to do with it, you should just send it to your printer and let them handle the rest.

.svg files are also infinitely scalable (unless designed in the "watercolour effect"). They will open in your browser if you want to have a look. These files are great to send out for embroidery and screen printing.
