What’s included in the logo packages?The following file formats will be provided: PNG, all-white PNG, all-black PNG, and JPG. Additionally, you will receive a brand board featuring hex color codes, submark, alternate file, and font names. This is a TEXT BASED design, no images are included. PNG Example Use: This is your standard logo file, ideal for most digital and print applications, such as your website, social media profiles, and marketing materials. The PNG format supports transparency, making it versatile for various backgrounds. All-White PNG Example Use: Use this file for applications where the logo needs to be placed on dark or colored backgrounds, such as business cards or banners where a white logo provides better contrast and visibility. All-Black PNG Example Use: This file is suitable for use on light backgrounds or where a monochromatic logo is desired, such as letterheads, envelopes, or any design that requires a strong, high-contrast logo. JPG Example Use: This format is best for general use where transparency is not required, such as in printed documents, presentations, or on websites where a solid background works best. Brand Board Includes: Hex color codes, submark, alternate file, and font names. Example Use: The brand board provides a comprehensive overview of your brand’s visual identity, including color codes for consistency across all media, the submark for secondary branding, alternate file formats for various uses, and font names for maintaining brand coherence in all communications and designs.
