Lettermark vs. Wordmark vs. Combination
A lettermark (initials inside a shape) works well when the company name is long or complex — think IBM, HP, or BBC. A wordmark puts full emphasis on the name itself and suits short, memorable brand names like Google or Nike. A combination mark pairs a symbol with the name, giving you flexibility: use them together initially, then let the symbol stand alone once brand recognition is established. For new brands, a combination mark is usually the safest starting point.
Logo Design Tips
Limit to Two Colors
The most iconic logos (Nike, Apple, Twitter) use one or two colors. Restrict your palette to a Primary and one Accent color. This makes the logo easier to reproduce on different backgrounds and in single-color formats.
Choose Contrast Carefully
Your On Primary color must have strong contrast with the Primary shape color. White on dark and black on light are the safest pairs. Use the Color Contrast Checker to verify WCAG compliance if accessibility matters to your brand.
Keep the Tagline Short
Taglines in a logo should be 3–6 words maximum. Longer taglines reduce legibility at small sizes. If your tagline is more than 40 characters, omit it from the logo and use it only in marketing copy.
Test at Small Sizes
Download your logo and resize it to 32×32 pixels (favicon size) and 96×96 pixels (app icon size). If the initials or shape are still clear at those sizes, your design is solid. If they blur or clash, simplify the colors or switch to a bolder shape.
Match the Shape to Your Brand
Circles feel approachable and community-focused. Squares and rounded squares feel stable and professional. Hexagons suggest technology or precision. Shields convey trust, authority, and security. Pick the shape that matches what your brand promises.
Font Personality
Sans-serif fonts are modern and clean. Serif fonts are traditional and authoritative. Monospace fonts suggest technology or code. Bold Black fonts are powerful and high-impact. Your font choice should reflect the tone your brand sets — a law firm and a startup rarely use the same typeface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What logo styles does the tool support?
Three styles are available. Combination logos place your initials inside a shape with the company name below — the most versatile option. Lettermark logos show only the initials inside a chosen shape, ideal for short, recognisable brand names. Wordmark logos render the company name as styled text with an accent underline and optional tagline, similar to logos used by Google or Coca-Cola.
What shapes can I use for combination and lettermark logos?
Five shapes are available: Circle (universally versatile), Square (bold and modern), Rounded Square (friendly and approachable), Hexagon (technical and structured), and Shield (authoritative and trustworthy). Each shape suits different brand personalities — experiment with all five using the live preview.
What size does the logo download at?
The downloaded PNG is 1000×1000 pixels with a transparent background. This resolution is large enough for most web and print uses including website headers, social media profile photos, email signatures, and business cards. For very large print formats (banners, signage), a vector format (SVG or AI) from a professional tool is recommended.
Can I use a transparent background?
Yes. The downloaded PNG always has a transparent background, so the logo integrates cleanly onto any background color — white, dark, or coloured. The checkerboard pattern in the preview indicates the transparent area.
What do Primary, On Primary, and Accent colors mean?
Primary is the main brand color used for the shape fill (in combination/lettermark styles) or the text color (in wordmark style). On Primary is the color of the initials rendered on top of the shape — typically white on a dark shape, or dark on a light shape. Accent is the highlight color used for borders, underlines, and tagline text. For wordmark style, only Primary and Accent are used.
Is my logo unique? Can others download the same one?
The logo is generated entirely from your inputs — company name, tagline, colors, shape, and font. Any combination of those settings will produce a different result. Since the tool is deterministic rather than AI-generated, two people choosing identical settings would see identical logos. For true uniqueness, customise all three colors and choose a less common shape.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All logo generation happens inside your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Your company name, colors, and settings never leave your device. No account is required.
Can I use this logo commercially?
Yes. The logo is created entirely from your inputs using system fonts and geometric shapes. There are no third-party assets or licenses involved. You own the output and can use it commercially without restriction.
