Embroidering logos and symbols on the left chest of a t-shirt, a polo shirt, or even a button-up shirt has been an important part of branding.
Many organizations get merchandise manufactured that includes embroidering the logo on the left chest of the garment. However, many clothing brands like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger embroider their logo on the left chest as a part of branding.
Remember! If the digitizing service you opt for does not ask you about the type of fabric you will embroider the logo onto and the garment type (caps, shirt, gloves), it is not a professional service.
You might look at an image and attempt to visualize it as a left-chest embroidery, and it would look great. However, what might look good on paper, or a computer screen might not look as good when embroidered.
When it comes to left-chest logos, less is always more. Some of the biggest fashion brands use single or at most three colors for the embroidery. This does not only look elegant, but also makes sure that the embroidery process is efficient.
If your logo is quite colorful, you can always go for embroidering just the name of the organization. If you are running a clothing brand, consider simplifying the logo for an impressive look.
You need to communicate the fabric type, the color of the logo, and the design of the logo with the professional before they begin their work. You can also get major or minor edits if you need changes to get the end-product exactly as you have pictured it in your head.
