Why your logo gets 3–5 proofs

A logo is the foundation of everything we print for you. Here is how the proof rounds work.

By Kris Maestas · Aug 18, 2026 · Design

Your logo ends up on your truck, your shirts, your signs and your cards. That is why logo projects include 3 to 5 proofs.

Round one

After a short brief, Kris sends a few different directions. Pick the one closest to right, or the parts you like from each.

The next rounds

Each round narrows it down: lettering, color, spacing, a simpler version for small sizes.

A logo has to work on a business card and the side of a truck.

What you get

  • Full-color, one-color and reversed versions
  • Files for print and for the web
  • A logo that is ready for wraps, signs and apparel
