Once you have a logo you love<\/a>, you’re one big step closer to getting your business in front of people.<\/p>\n

It’s the most prominent part of your visual identity, and using it for different marketing and promotion efforts will help you gain recognition and instantly appear more professional.<\/p>\n

Here are 18 easy branding ideas that’ll put your logo to work (plus resources for making each idea happen).<\/p>\n

\n

1. Add it to your website<\/h3>\n

A website is a HUGE part of your brand and business. The two most common areas to put a logo are the header (usually in the top left) and the favicon, the small icon next to your address bar or the title on your browser tab.<\/p>\n

For the header, ensure your logo is legible on different screen sizes so it makes an impact as soon as someone lands on your page. For the favicon, use the icon-only or monogram version of your logo to fit a small space (16×16 pixels or 32×32 pixels).<\/p>\n

Instructions for adding a logo to your website will depend on the platform you\u2019re using to build it — see these how-to articles from Etsy<\/a>, GoDaddy<\/a>, Shopify<\/a>, Squarespace<\/a>, Weebly<\/a>, and Wix<\/a>. (If you\u2019re using WordPress, your logo placement will depend on the theme you choose.)<\/p>\n

2. Insert it in your email signature<\/h3>\n

An email signature is a no-brainer place to put your logo because it reminds people of your brand whenever you send a message or reach out to someone new.<\/p>\n

See this help article<\/a> for instructions on how to add your logo to a Gmail or Outlook account. You can also use email signature generators like this one<\/a>. Upload a PNG version of your logo to Dropbox or Google Drive, right-click to copy the image URL, and paste it into the generator tool.<\/p>\n

3. Use it on all your social media channels<\/h3>\n

4. Get business cards<\/h3>\n

One of the most exciting places to see your logo is on a business card. It\u2019s a physical representation of your brand you can share with anyone who\u2019s interested in your products or services.<\/p>\n

Decide if you want a horizontal or vertical layout, a traditional size (3.5\u201d x 2\u201d), and white or colored cardstock. With Looka\u2019s Business Card Designs<\/a>, you\u2019ll get a sheet of designs with your logo and contact information in different layouts. Upload these designs to print-on-demand websites or send to a local printer to get business cards made.<\/p>\n
