Logo handover checklist: 12 items to demand
Use this logo handover checklist to demand 12 items, from fonts to colors, before you pay.
Files, fonts and colors to collect
Demand 3 vector masters, 4 color versions and 6 web sizes from 32 to 2000 pixels at handover. Collect 2 licensed fonts, hex plus CMYK codes for 4 shades and proof of 300 dots per inch print tests.
When you generate your logo online, save receipts, creator names and license dates in one PDF. Missing rights delay trademark filing by 4 months and cost 180 dollars in lawyer checks after 2023.
Guides and rights that close gaps
Ask for a 10 page mini guide, spacing diagrams and 5 misuse examples with photos. Include transfer of ownership signed in 2026, invoice totals near 500 dollars and support for 30 days after delivery.
Tick 12 boxes before release and store files in 2 places for 10 years. Teams with full handovers onboard printers in 1 day instead of 9 days and cut errors by 55 percent.
