How to Add My Logo to a Business Card Design

This article is very similar to our 'How To Add My Photo To A Business Card Design' article. We'll walk through similar steps to customize your business card. The difference lies in what the card is doing for us. Are we branding ourselves or our business? In personal branding, identifying yourself with a photo on your business card can quickly make a networking contact.

In corporate branding, the goals are different. Creating brand recognition, new product acceptance, or simple product/representative association are all reasons to use corporate branding on your business card. That may mean you need to stick to a specific design for your entire card, or that may mean you can simply add a logo to any design that fits the products or services you represent. We have something to help in either case.

If you already have a business card design that you need to stick with, then please upload the design into our online design software to have it printed at our standard low cost. Alternatively, you can simply add your logo to any one of our 14,002 business card designs! Here's how:

1. Before we start, be sure you have a logo on your computer that you'd like to use for your business card. Remember where you save the file. Your logo should be high quality and a decent size to start. You can always make the image smaller on your card without losing quality, but enlarging it may make your logo look fuzzy.

2. Select a business card design on greatdealprinting.com to start our business card builder. Be sure to take your time, with 14,000+ designs to choose from you may find a cards that suit your business and personality in a variety of card categories.
TIP: Choose a design with a background color that matches the background color of your logo to make it match seamlessly.

3. Select the layout for the text of your business card. There are many predefined layouts for you to choose from that will display the text on your card differently. Be sure to leave yourself a space to place your logo on the card. Don't worry about text at this point, we'll tweak these in a few steps.

4. Upload your logo.

a. Click on 'Add' under the 'Logo/Picture' menu to get started and a new editor will pop up. This will take you to another screen with different menu options.

b. Click 'My Image Library' and you'll be given a field to upload your own logo.

c. Click 'browse' next to the blank field and select the logo from your computer.

d. Click 'Upload' after you've selected the logo to upload to the server. This may take a few minutes depending on your connection and the size of the file.

e. Once the file is uploaded to the server, you can select the logo below to use. Feel free to try this a few times to see different versions of your logo and how they look once they are online.

f. On selecting the image you'd like to use, you may crop the image if needed above by moving the red box around the logo.

g. When finished, click 'Finished' below the graphic to view your card design with your logo displayed.

h. Now it's time to arrange the logo as you see fit on the card. You may make it as large or as small as you like on the card and move it anywhere you see fit.

i. Once you've got the logo where you like it, click 'save changes' to have your design updated to include your logo. You can always come back and make changes or upload another photo if you don't like it.

5. Modify the text and layout as you need for your card design. Be sure to use what your card will actually say on each line you need.

TIP: Remove lines of text that you don't need by simple deleting the text in the field.
TIP: Add blank lines by leaving spaces in blank fields.
TIP: Lines that cover over graphics may not show well. To help them stand out, try the shadow (S) option under 'Formatting'.
TIP: Use different fonts, sizes, and colors until you have a card that you like.

6. Once you are happy with the layout, you may begin to design the back of the card just as you had with the front starting by selecting a card design. You may even add another photo or logo. Just click the 'Plus' sign to add a back. You'll have the option to add a full color design, black and white, template or just text to the back of your card. Just go through the same process as completed for the front of your card.

7. After you have completed the back of your card to your liking, proofread your card once more (both front and back) to be sure it's perfect. We can't correct misspellings for you, so be sure to double-check every field. When you're finished click the green 'Approve Design' button to check out!

See how creative you can get! We hope you enjoy your cards!
