Logos shouldn’t feel generic. Hand-Drawn Logo Design gives your brand a mark with human character—sketched on paper, refined in vector, and engineered to work everywhere. The result is a custom logo with story and soul that still passes the practical tests: tiny favicons, embroidery, signage, and social avatars.
We start analog to explore shape language and lettering, then translate the strongest direction into clean Bézier curves. Every curve, counter, and negative space is tuned for balance and legibility. Final masters ship as true vector files (SVG, EPS) that scale without fuzz per open standards from the W3C’s SVG spec, so your mark prints crisply and renders perfectly on high-DPI screens (W3C SVG). If you plan to register the mark, we design with uniqueness and reproducibility in mind and point you to official guidance on trademark basics from WIPO (WIPO Trademarks). When specifying type, we include licensing notes to keep you safe long-term (Google Fonts—Licensing).
What’s included (deliverables)
- 2–3 concept directions with rationale
- Pencil sketches → vector refinement
- Primary/secondary lockups (horizontal, stacked, mark-only)
- Color system: primary, secondary, and one-color versions
- Typography recommendations with licensing notes
- Export presets (web, print, merch) + favicon/social set
- Mini brand guidelines (PDF): usage, spacing, colors
- Final files: SVG, EPS, PDF, PNG (multiple sizes)
How it works (process)
- Discovery → story, audience, references, competitive audit
- Sketch → lettering, icons, composition explored on paper
- Vectorize → precise curves, optical adjustments, spacing
- Proof → mock on site headers, packaging, apparel, signage
- Refine → choose direction, tune details, finalize colors/type
- Systemize → create lockups, one-color/texture variants
- Handover → deliver files and a clear usage guide
Benefits (what you’ll feel)
- A distinctive custom logo that looks established on day one
- Files that scale from favicon to storefront without pixelation
- Faster production with ready-to-use exports and clear rules
- Fewer brand mistakes thanks to simple, visual guidelines
- A flexible system (badge, wordmark, icon) for every placement

H2: Hand-Drawn Logo Design built for modern use
A vintage-flavored mark shouldn’t behave like a relic. Hand-Drawn Logo Design balances craft and engineering: textures (grain, stamp, linework) are optional layers that never touch the clean master; strokes and counters are adjusted for tiny sizes; and color values are documented across RGB/HEX/CMYK so printers and developers stay in sync. Vector masters follow SVG best practices for predictable output, while one-color versions ensure embroidery, foil, and engraving stay sharp.
Key terms to know
Vector logo: Curves/points that scale infinitely without blur.
Lockup: Pre-made arrangements (horizontal, stacked, icon-only).
Wordmark vs. emblem: Text-only logo vs. text inside a badge/shape.
Clear space: Minimum breathing room to keep the mark legible.
One-color version: Solid ink variant for stamps or stitching.
Trademark search: A check for conflicts before registration (see WIPO).
FAQs
Will a textured, hand-drawn look print well?
Simple: Yes—we provide both clean and textured versions.
Technical: The vector master remains pristine; textures are nondestructive overlays for print/web exports.
Do we get source files?
Simple: Yes—vector masters and exports.
Technical: SVG/EPS/PDF with expanded outlines where needed to avoid font dependency issues.
Can you include custom lettering?
Simple: Absolutely.
Technical: Hand-drawn letterforms are digitized, spaced, and optically corrected; glyphs are outlined for consistent reproduction.
Is the logo safe to use legally?
Simple: We design for originality and share next steps.
Technical: We avoid near-matches, document provenance, and provide pointers to official registration resources at WIPO.
Will it work on tiny screens and big signs?
Simple: Yes—tested from 16–32px icons to storefront scale.
Technical: Stroke/spacing tuned by size; contrast and counter shapes are adjusted for low-ink and high-DPI environments.
