Does the shape still work without color?

Preparing artwork...

Background contrast

Find the surfaces where your logo stays clear.

Compare the mark and lettering on each surface.

Blur & silhouette

A 3px blur softens fine details so you can check whether the overall shape stays recognizable. If key gaps close or elements merge, the logo may rely too heavily on detail.
