Short answer
Keep it to the first name in large bold type, one short title line, and a logo that is not larger than the name. Pick a size that fits the longest name on your team, a backing that suits the uniform, and get a proof before production.
What to know
- Name first and biggest. It is the only thing most people read.
- One title line, short. Long titles push you to a 1.5 x 3 or 2 x 3 inch badge.
- High contrast: dark text on white or brushed silver, white text on dark colors.
- Logo on the left or top, smaller than the name.
- Size for your longest name, not your average one.
- Magnet backs for shirts and blouses, pins for heavy fabric, clips for scrubs.
