# Branding and logos

A trade brand has to work at 30 miles an hour on the side of a van and at 32 pixels in a browser tab. We design simple, confident logos that read clearly everywhere you need them.

[All services](https://localimpact.uk/services/)

[ 01 ] What you get

## What's included

- Logo in full, stacked and icon versions
- Colour palette and type choice

- Favicon and social profile images
- Simple brand sheet to share with suppliers
- Quote and invoice header design

[ 02 ] How it works

## Why it works for trades

### Simple beats clever

The best trade logos are short, bold and easy to read from a distance. We avoid tiny details, gradients and anything that falls apart when printed on a polo shirt.

### One look everywhere

Your van, your website, your Google profile and your quotes should look like the same business. We give you every file you need, in every format, so your sign writer and printer get it right first time.

[ 04 ] Questions

## Common questions

### Do I need a new logo to get a website?

No. If your current logo works, we build around it. We only suggest a refresh if it is holding the site back.
