Logo Category Submission Question

Hi there,

I’ve been getting rejection on my logos and the reviewer says that the white space is too small and it won’t show up when printing small. Firstly, when I got to work I created a plate and asked one of the press operator to run me off a single color test of my logo. I made the logo different sizes and with the smaller being 1 inch in height. The white space wasn’t an issue and could clearly see separation between the objects within the logo design.

I’d like to know what is acceptable when it comes to white space. It would be nice to have that within the documents for uploading a logo. That way we’re not wasting time and putting items in the que that would be approved if the white space met the requirements.

Thank You!

I like the way you ask that without kicking off

It would be nice to have some avail resources, like with the business card templates etc.

Maybe with your professional equipment it printed off fine, however it may overlap on cheap laser and inkjet company printers, which let’s face it, the companies/clients paying $30 for a logo are obviously not going to be doing anything massively professional right?

Hah, thanks. I’m not upset, but when I get a rejection stating the lines are too small, it makes me feel like they think I don’t know what I’m doing. I was in the Navy for Lithographing and I probably have more experience with printing than any one of the reviewers on this site.

Good point, I didn’t even think about printing on my laser printer. Looks like that’ll be on my list of things to do today. Also, this press is an antique offset printing press. I don’t even know why we still have this thing laying around.

I think it would be nice to have better outline resources and guidelines to better help the community. Take an hour of an Envato staff member’s time to create the document which in result could save a ton of time. Think about all the additional time that could be saved from people uploading logos knowing that these are the guidelines & requirements to go by?

Productivity could skyrocket.

I agree, I’m not a logo designer by any stretch & I’d like to see some template resources.

The only reason I say about laser printers etc, is that they manage to overlap type, let alone logos with thin lining… haha

+1

You make valid points about the laser printer. Still have to test that out, but after viewing some of the other logos on the site they have thinner lines than what my logo did when I submitted it.

Again, I think with the proper documentation, it could save everyone a lot of time & headaches.

You don’t plan to fail, you fail to plan.

Planning is simply guessing though
