What to Add to a Painting Firm Logo: Colors, Symbols, and Styling Advice

Deciding on suitable visual elements is daunting—so here’s a summary of how to select the perfect design aspects for your painting corporation:

🎨 Color Composition

  • The Blue: Trust and reliability (good for established painters of houses)

  • Green: Commonly market by environmentally friendly painting companies

  • Neutral colors: Grey, white, and black maintain a clean and businesslike atmosphere

🖌️ Symbols and Icons

  • Paint rollers, splash of paints, houses, and brushes are usual—but circle around it. A clean line shape, abstract, or icon takes precedence often over cheesy, cartoonish clip art.

🅰️ Typography

  • Sans-serif typefaces are usually more contemporary and platform-readable. Serif typefaces may be added to a traditional/aesthetic sense of value—but, of course, if done properly.

Real-World Tests: Where Your Painting Company Logo Will Exist (And Why It Must Work Everywhere)

A good painting business logo should appear crisp on your cell phone as it does on the curb of your work van. Here are just some of the places your logo will be seen:

  • Business website and blog

  • Social media profile images and banners

  • Service quotes and email signatures

    Business cards and uniforms

  • Yard signs and door hangers

  • Borne vehicles, ladders, and equipment

  • Paint cans, masking tape, and project tags (yes, indeed!)

It isn’t enough to have a pretty logo, it also needs to be adaptable. We suggest having a full version and a shortened icon version for tighter quarters designed. We, for instance, employ our “H” shield icon when quarters are skimpy, but our entire logo on trucks and t-shirts.

A: Blue, green, and black are typical for professionalism and trust. Red injects vitality. Choose colors based on your services and target audience.
