Here are some best practices for adding a logo and why using a logo with an outline can make all the difference.
Why Your Logo Design Matters
As more email platforms and devices adopt dark and light modes, the visibility of logos has become increasingly dependent on color contrast. For example:
Dark Mode: White logos can blend into dark backgrounds, making them nearly invisible.
Light Mode: Black logos may become indistinguishable against light backgrounds.
This is why using a logo with an outline is a smart choice. It enhances visibility and maintains brand consistency across different display modes.
Best Practices for Adding Your Logo
Use a Logo with an Outline
Why? Logos with an outline create a contrast that helps them stand out against both light and dark backgrounds. This ensures your brand is recognizable regardless of the viewer’s display settings.
Tip: If your primary logo color is white or black, add a contrasting outline. For example, a white logo with a black outline or vice versa.
Choose the Right File Format
Use high-resolution PNG files with a transparent background. This format preserves the outline and ensures the logo looks crisp on all devices.
Maintain Consistency in Size and Placement
Keep your logo size consistent to maintain a professional look. In Accountable, the recommended dimensions are 200x200 pixels for optimal display.
Test in Both Dark and Light Modes
Preview your logo in both dark and light modes to ensure it maintains its visibility and impact.
