Logo with a transparent background: avoiding the unwanted rectangle
When you want to print only the mark, make clear whether the background should be absent. A white rectangle in the file could be part of the graphics or an element to remove: don’t leave this decision implicit.

Logo size: write centimetres instead of “bigger”

Logo colour: how to send a clear reference

Home and away shirts: building two identities without duplicating mistakes
