Logo and Lettering 101

At Angela King Designs and Go Wild! Wear, we specialize in creating a custom unique look for each customer, from dance and cheer teams to corporate ambassadors.

Your logo is your brand! So the women who represent your team or company should showcase your brand in the most prominent, classy, and consistent way possible.

Here are a few considerations when adding your logo to your AKD / Go Wild! attire:
  1. Is your logo legible? Do you want it to be seen from far away in your stadium, resonate in photos or just be seen up close? Your Style Pro will advise you on the logo size as some logos should only be produced at a certain size and larger, or else their detail will be lost.
     
  2. What is your budget? Logos can be done in a variety of ways that best fit your detail, fabric and budget. Ask your Style Pro about sublimation, embroidery, patches, twill letters, rhinestone letters, or rhinestone logos.
     
  3. Is your lettering generic or customized? Generic lettering embroidery is less expensive usually available in script or block letters. Custom lettering is classified as a logo as we will produce this to exactly match your font, size and colors.
     
  4. Do you have the best file possible to send to AKD? We'll need a high resolution file in order to send you a logo estimate. Usually this is an .eps or .pdf file.
     
  5. Do you have time to add your logo? Allow for a little more time to not only create your costume but also add the logowork. If you absolutely do not have time, we can take back your items at a later date to include logo, rhinestones or lettering, although doing it all at once will save on shipping expenses.
     
  6. What will it look like? Ask your Style Pro to see images of the logo superimposed on your costume selection so you can be sure it's placed exactly as you envisioned. 
Ready to get creative? If your team has several looks, it can be fun to show off the logo or mascot name in a new way through design techniques or customization. We even have removable logo options that allow you to mix and match or add new pieces to your wardrobe without the cost of a whole new uniform! Check out the logo boot cuffs and logo buckles. The sky is the limit! Angela King Designs has been producing the most creative and memorable costuming in professional sports entertainment since 1989, we've got you covered!
