An amendment is a targeted change to an existing logo — adjusting proportions, refining letterforms, updating a colour, correcting a spacing issue or adapting the mark for a specific use case — rather than a full redesign from scratch.
If your logo is fundamentally sound and the issue is specific and technical, an amendment is usually the right approach. If the logo no longer reflects the business, feels dated at a strategic level or carries negative associations, a new logo is more appropriate.
Yes. The purpose of an amendment is to fix specific issues while preserving continuity with the existing mark. Changes are made with care to ensure the logo remains recognisable.
All the same formats as a new logo — vector formats for print, raster versions for digital, and variants for different background colours. If any existing formats are missing, these are produced at the same time.
Most amendments can be completed in one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the change and the number of revision rounds involved.
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons for logo amendments. Small-size versions are often simplified or adapted to improve legibility, which may also result in a dedicated icon or favicon variant.
Ideally yes, over a reasonable transition period. The most important materials — website, social profiles, email signatures, stationery — should be updated promptly. Less frequently used items can be updated at the next print run.
Yes. Colour specification issues — where a digital colour translates poorly to print — are a common amendment. Correct CMYK and Pantone specifications are established and applied to all logo variants as part of the process.
In many cases the logo can be recreated in vector format from a high-quality image, and the amendment made from there. This is a common starting point when original source files are unavailable.
If you have brand guidelines, yes — they should be updated to reflect the amended logo. This is typically a straightforward update that can be handled as part of the amendment project.
