This is SUCH a common mistake for those of us DIYing our brand: Only creating 1 or 2 versions of our logo. Did you know you should have at least 4 different versions or more!! PLUS colour variations.

Having versatile, professional logo variations to suit the diverse needs of your business will mean you are ready for anything business throws at you and look wildly schmick the whole time. Whether it's needing a favicon or DP, logo for a T-shirt or business card, or something for a letterhead or footer in your presentation slides. These are the variations not to miss!
