Branding is incredibly important to virtually every type of company. How a brand starts and maintains real despite all of the different digital creators and promotional tools available to businesses today, many still have a vital piece missing when it comes time for finalizing their branding. That missing element is how an embroidery design will look on fabric – but now there’s hope!
As a company, you want to have an iconic logo that will be remembered by customers and adorn your products. It’s not just about how it looks but also what the design represents for each business – is this one image going to represent all of my offerings? The answer should always include more than meets the eye because people don’t like jumping from page to page when looking at logos online or in print ads.
Many modern companies have access to a variety of professional logos and branding possibilities, but many are still missing the most crucial component when deciding on their final design – how it will actually look embroidered onto fabric.
Digital graphic designers oftentimes forget about the need for embroidery. Designers who are not careful with their designs can end up losing all of that passion in branding once it’s translated onto uniforms with poor quality stitching or fabric used on shirts which will ruin them over time if they’re not taken care of too soon after purchase (or even before).

Here are the top 5 tips for embroidery logo design
1. Logo Colours:
With digital design, there is an infinite number of options when it comes to color. You could have hundreds or even thousands that swirl around your logo and a gradient from hot pink all the way down into Kelly green if you’re feeling especially daring! The more colors in a graphic however these endless possibilities do not translate well onto fabric for embroidery methods which require just one single hue at max per stitch pattern on top quality fabrics like polyester mesh because this will create better resolution than using many different thread types mixed together would otherwise- something as simple pen line can get complicated real fast.
When machines embroider with one color, it saves time and complications by joining up the elements carefully so there is no interruption in the process. Each new color means that the previous process has to start again which can take longer than if an artist was doing all of this work manually. Additionally, some effects like gradients (example below) cannot be reproduced through embroidery even though they look great when done digitally; these would need extra layers on top for artists who use only their hands or fingers!
2. Bold and simple logos are perfect:
While it might seem like a disappointment, we can actually appreciate the limitations of our branding. A good logo should always be simple and uncomplex to make customers recognize their future purchases while also making embroidery stand out more than print does – there’s just something about how complex logos cannot compare to ones that are clean cut with depth or texture that denotes quality and prestige in an item such as this one!
3. Don’t have too much detail in your logo:
You may think that a logo is something you can get away with not having, but embroidery will make sure it’s recognizable. Embroidered logos and designs need to look like they were meant for the fabric in order to come out looking great; otherwise, people might mistake another design entirely! Lastly, keep your stitch size small so all of these intricacies stand out when seen on different types of fabrics.
For example, a logo may appear more polished on suiting or shirt fabric but detailing such as stitching can be slightly lost when the design appears on thicker and robust fabrics found in fleeces and polo shirts. Stitches stretch out over time due to their material makeup which shrinks its allotted space so it will display less visually than expected from afar depending on how far away you’re looking at them up close; they also move around quite a bit during normal wear without any form of support keeping everything centered nicely within our field-of-view!
4. Logo size:
Another thing to consider when designing a logo for embroidery is the size of your design. You may not want too much detail or it could end up looking like an ugly mess, so keep this in mind before you create anything! Here at First Corporate Clothing, we can provide samples with varying degrees of intricacy depending on what kind it’s going into production but always make sure there are enough recognizable elements present that will still look good once reduced down small – just ask us about how our services work today.
“Your business deserves quality.”
This can help you determine what sizes are appropriate for the garments you’re choosing and their intended purpose. We usually recommend as a rule to ideally have it work between 80 – 100mm (width) as this is what you would usually see on embroidered polo shirts and suit jackets that have the logo on the left breast. For anything outside the box, it would be worth contacting us directly to see what’s achievable.
5. Logo font sizes:
Software programs that allow you to create embroidery patterns for logos can sometimes generate stitching from existing fonts and styles, so if the font is an established one it will be easier. If there’s a unique or lesser-known typeface required in your logo, however, you’ll have additional work on hand which could incur extra costs as well. Just like when we talked about having too much detail before – this might also prove difficult because complicated letters may not reproduce accurately enough (see example below).

Brands like Nike or Disney started out as simple logos before evolving into the iconic brands we know today; but how did they get there? The answer lies in careful consideration for what makes good brand imagery: simplicity with hints at complexity (in case you need more than just a basic square), boldness without being overwhelming – both visually and verbally!
