Optimal: Top-Left

• Brand recall: Users are 89% more likely to remember logos in top-left vs. right

• Left-aligned: ~39% brand recall vs. 21% for right-aligned

• Navigation anchor: Users expect logo to link to homepage; left placement is intuitive

• Scan pattern: Aligns with left-to-right reading flow

Avoid

• Centered logos: Users navigating home from centered logos are ~6x more likely to fail

• Right-aligned: Violates conventions; harms brand recognition

When Center May Work

• Minimal headers with few elements

• Brand-heavy landing pages where logo is focal point

• Ensure logo still links to homepage and is clearly clickable

Implementation

Linking

• Always link to homepage from logo

• Use <a href="/"> wrapping logo image

• Expected behavior; don't break convention

Image

• Use appropriate format (SVG preferred for scalability)

• Provide alt text: company/product name, not "logo"

• Example: alt="Acme Inc." not alt="Logo"

Size & Clear Space

• Minimum size: Document in brand guide; prevent illegibility at small sizes (favicon, mobile header).

• Clear space: Minimum space around logo; no text or graphics within this zone. Defined in brand-visual-generator.

• Responsive: Ensure readability on mobile; test at 375px, 768px, 1024px.

• Variants: Primary, secondary, monogram; light/dark backgrounds per brand guidelines.

Design Process

• Positioning: B2B (professional, trustworthy) vs B2C (friendly, approachable)

• Core element: Choose hexagon, rotation, robot, or emoji per product type

• Color: Tech blue, blue-to-purple gradients, monochrome; consider dark mode

• Test sizes: Favicon, mobile, header; ensure recognition at small sizes

• Too similar to competitors; balance industry recognition with uniqueness

• Overly technical symbols for B2C; use friendlier designs

• Ignoring mobile display; test at multiple sizes

• Frequent rebranding; choose a long-term design
