@barnardco: 🤔What’s a good rule of thumb for when sizing your logo? Make it as tall as it is wide! The equidistant width and height will mean your design will hold up in any format. So when sketching, draw out some boxes and try and keep your design encompassed within them. This will leave you with a versatile logo design that will stand the test of time. #logodesign #graphicdesign #designtok
I hate this restriction of scalability. It makes sense for sure, but it leads to this world of minimalistic, boring shapes we now live in.

This is why we often design a secondary logo or even an additional version of an icon only. In many cases, no one solution can fit every situation.

Great suggestions. For some brands, I also mock mine up as a piece of metal signage so I can test that it will truly work in one color. If not I make an alt version for limited use on stuff like that

And the logo must be suitable for embroidery on clothing and capes.

This is why I try my hardest to include some kind of icon as well as a wordmark when branding a company. It will give you two ways to display the company.

Solid advice. I used to design some crazy detailed logos early in my career. Love this!

It needs to be scalable, you need a long wide version, stacked version and circle iconish version (🤣)

Did you do the logo for Road Less Traveled Books that shows in your video on a wall?

what's the general opinion on providing different formats like: wide logo, stacked logo, small less detailed logo(favicon), full size with taglines etc.
