3 Tips for Creating Your Fashion Logo
If you are going to make your own logo, take into consideration that every designer’s first thought is their own signature. If this came to your mind think about it again. Why? Imagine your signature applications. Will it look sharp when printed, stitched, or stamped? If applied to jewelry, it’s got to be very small and might end up looking like a scratch. So take into consideration these 3 pieces of advice:
- Minimum size. Your logo must look clear on its minimal application.
- Minimum expression. Look into a symbol as part of the logo you can apply to future products that may be so little that by only seeing that mark it’s recognizable.
- Make it unique. If you still want to explore handwriting style, you could create your own symbol and use script fonts. The good thing about script fonts is that they have uniform strokes, without having a designer recreate it as a vector.
