Don’t stretch the logo!

“It’s okay, it’s just a wee flyer that’s going out to 70 people. Nobody will mind if the logo is a bit stretched”... yes someone cares, I care for a start and so will your customers!" Consistency is key in design, especially how your logo is applied to material. When you are developing a new brand you try to encapsulate what the [...]
