The logo is the most important part of your brand, so in this article we’ll show you how and where to get your logo developed.
We’ll also show you a sneaky little trick of where to find great logos in one place that you can use as inspiration when creating your own logo.
Where Will You Use Your Logo?
Your logo can be used in various different places, such as:
- On your products
- On your packaging
- On your inserts and marketing material
- On your emails
- On your website
On your products
Often times you’ll have your logo on your products, it may be stitched on if it’s a fabric, it may be printed on, or it may be stuck on depending on what products you are selling.
You won’t always have the logo on your products, maybe for example your product is too small and your logo won’t actually fit there which is absolutely fine.
On your packaging
Normally you will have your logo somewhere on your packaging but not always.
On your inserts and marketing material
Establish your brand awareness, and ensure your logo is included on your product inserts and marketing material.
On your emails and website
Again, essential for brand awareness, let customers see your logo and build familiarity.
If you haven’t already, it’s really important to have a web presence of your own, even if you don’t sell from it, check out our blog post How To Create A Website For Your Brand for further reading.

Our Top Tips For Designing Your Logo
Here are some of our top tips when it comes to designing your logo:
- K.I.S.S – Keep it simple stupid 🙂
- Don’t get too clever
- Make sure it’s easily recognizable, you don’t have to use an image
- Make your logo visual
- Use strong colors
Please remember, make sure your logo is easily recognizable, you don’t have to use an image, you can use a word, it really depends on what you’re selling.
If you look at the example logos included within this article, a lot of them don’t have images at all.
We would recommend that you should try to get a logo prepared ready for when you launch your product. It’s not absolutely essential that when you first launch your product that it’s got your logo printed on it or embedded on it, but ideally you should have it on it as it’s all part of your branding and positioning.
TIP: Try to include your logo on as much of your marketing as you can, INCLUDING the product itself if possible to build brand awareness and familiarity
