A new logo is a major milestone for your business — but before you reveal it to the world, there are crucial steps to make sure the launch is smooth, impactful, and mistake-free.
A rushed launch can lead to confusion, inconsistent visuals, and wasted marketing spend. Use this checklist to ensure your new logo makes the best first impression possible.
1. Review the Final Files
Make sure you have every version of your new logo you might need:
Formats: PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, EPS
Versions: Full color, black, white, and monochrome
Layouts: Horizontal, vertical, and icon-only versions
Tip: Keep them organized in clearly labeled folders for easy access.
2. Update Your Brand Guidelines
Your logo isn’t just an image — it’s part of a system. Update your brand guidelines with rules for:
Minimum size
Color codes (RGB, CMYK, HEX)
Clear space around the logo
Approved background colors
3. Check Consistency Across Platforms
Nothing weakens a launch like inconsistent branding. Audit your logo placement on:
Website
Social media profiles
Email signatures
Marketing materials
Packaging
4. Plan the Launch Announcement
Don’t just quietly swap your logo — make it an event. Prepare social media posts, email newsletters, and a short announcement explaining the reason for the change.
Tip: Share the story behind your redesign to create emotional connection.
5. Update Legal and Administrative Documents
Your logo might appear on contracts, invoices, and official documents. Update them before the public launch to avoid confusion.
6. Test for Versatility
Preview your new logo on small-scale items (business cards, favicons) and large-scale applications (banners, billboards) to ensure it stays sharp and recognizable.
7. Keep the Old Logo for Reference
You may need your old logo temporarily for historical records, portfolio displays, or certain client documents. Store it in an archive folder.
