Cincinnati Logo Design

Pixels & Dots is a Cincinnati logo design company creating distinctive logos for businesses, nonprofits and organizations throughout Greater Cincinnati and beyond. For more than 25 years, we’ve combined creative thinking and design experience to develop logos that communicate who you are and help your organization stand out.

A successful logo needs to do more than look good. It should reflect your organization, connect with your audience and work consistently across everything from websites and social media to signage, print materials and other applications. We consider typography, color, composition and how your logo will perform in different sizes, formats and environments.

Whether you’re launching a startup, updating an existing logo or looking for a fresh visual direction, we’ll work with you to create a logo that’s distinctive, practical and built to last.

01

Consultation & Research

We start by learning about your organization, objectives, audience and ideas for the new logo. We’ll discuss logos you find appealing, color preferences and other creative considerations while researching your competitors and market landscape.
