Logo System — Definition

What it is

A logo system is a set of logo variations designed to work across different contexts — your primary logo, a stacked version, a horizontal version, a simplified icon, and a favicon.

Why it matters

Your logo needs to look good on a billboard and a browser tab. On a white background and a dark one. A single logo file can't do all of that. A system can.

The mistake most people make

Only having one logo file. Then they squeeze it into their social media avatar and it's an unreadable smudge.
