A Logo for Your Day


Corporate events have their own logo, why shouldn't your big day? A personalized logo helps create something that your guests recognize right away as the emblem of the event. Use it on your invites and directional signs pointing guests to the venue to a lasting impression.

There's even a Web site that sells personalized logos for the your big day. WhoWhatLogos offers personalized logos for your wedding and personal life. The also sell personalized goods that could make an attractive party favor. My personal favorite is the wall decal that would translate an aspect of the wedding into your home decor.

The truth is that anyone with design experience can probably create a logo for you using design software like Adobe Indesign or Illustrator. For my own resume, I created a personal logo for the upper left-hand corner of my resume, cover letter an
d the cover of my portfolio.

This bride from Omaha had her maid of honor design her logo. It was incor
porated on their seating chart, programs and even their cake topper. It was a very cool touch (photo courtesy a screen shot from a video of Brooke and Jim's wedding, filmed by A Sound Impression).

Logos can be used in lots of different ways. If you are fortunate enough to be using a lighting specialist for your reception, many light companies can create custom gels or cutouts of your logo to shine your logo on the dance floor or an empty wall.

If your family has a strong heritage with a clan or has a family crest, consider using that or integrating elements of that into the logo. The blending of both family crests creates a special memory for older family members.

Adding a logo to your designs is an inexpensive way to pull all of your printed elements together and create a very finished look and feel to your wedding.
