Many companies never change their logo design dramatically but only make the smallest of changes to keep the design looking fresh.

Logo design types





High / Low resolution





If you are looking at starting a new business, you will need a logo. All logo designs should be unique to your business, no templates, no free graphics or clipart, just bespoke designs for your company.





Below is a break down of the different types available:





Logo designs for onscreen


Low resolution RGB 72dpi





Ideal for websites, emails, PowerPoint presentations and general onscreen viewing only. Because of the small size they can be downloaded very quickly but are not suitable for print.





Logo designs for print


High resolution CYMK 300dpi





High Resolution Logo Design





Must be use for printing high quality material e.g. letterheads, business cards, compliment slips, banners, posters etc. This means your logo will be clear and crisp when printed, if a low resolution logo is used it is likely that the end result will be blurred, blocky and illegible.





Logo design - redraw and enhancement





Alternatively, if you do not require full logo design service, you could re-design, redraw or enhance your existing logo for print or website use.
