3. Which font is the best
For detailed guidelines, read our article, “How to Choose a Font for Your Logo”. Here we will focus only on the key criteria:
- Legibility. Your text must be easy to read across logos of different sizes;
- No minor elements. Avoid multiple scrolls and serifs in hand-written fonts, as they make text on small-size logos unreadable;
- Font-icon combination. Pair bulky fonts with massive icons.
In Logaster, you can pick any font for your café logo during editing.
Smart font choices for your café logo: СP Font, Cuprum, Oranienbaum, Croissant One, Andantino Script, Dita Sweet, Comfortaa.
4. Useful recommendations
Use one font, two tops. One font is your best choice. Two fonts are acceptable only if text dominates your logo.
Do not clutter your logo. A recognizable icon and a legible café name (or short motto) are the only things your logo really needs.
Do not overdo it with colors. Even if you’re creating a bright logo for your art café, avoid using more than 4 colors.
Leave enough free space on the edges.
Be sure to save your logo in vector format.
