Hi, I was wondering like on my website for example, IAmDentistry.com , I bought my logo a while ago when I knew less about design, so I was wondering if the logo font SHOULD match any font of the main site to look good? like a header class of some sort? For instance, like the font used in the word DENTISTRY in my logo, is unique and not on any other part of my site other than the logo ?

Many sites have a logo in a font that doesn’t match the font type of the rest of the site. Just look at CNN or Yahoo.

@ian-izaguirre001 logos are overrated. Don’t put too much emphasis on it. Focus on delivering value to your clients, everything else will fall into place. I would imagine dentistry field requires a lot of reading (for the client), from the types of insurance, coverage, guidelines, laws, etc… for body copy typeface, focus on legibility. While your logo typeface can be little more expressive and unique to show of your (business) personality.October 26, 2015 at 4:33 am #210194AtelierbramParticipantLogo’s have a lot of value for big global brands, if only for recognisability, but are of lesser value to one-person local businesses IMO. In my eyes the logo good look better in this context when being floated to the right, (and possibly having the
nav
pulled in to the top a bit) like:.logo h1 a { float: right; margin-right: 1em; } #main-nav { background-color: #fff; margin-top: -4em; }
The logotype does look quite delicate, which does clashes a bit with the aesthetics of the rest of the webpage itself, I feel. In general it’s not a bad idea to make a logo sturdy, with little detail, in order to work in different contexts (like also for example bad print). But there are lots of script fonts, but you will have to do a thorough search for one with less contrast. For what it is worth, I always loved “Tartine Script”, and like the roundedness of this Thirsty Soft.

@Atelierbram Awesome suggestion thank you !October 28, 2015 at 5:56 pm #210295JohnParticipantYou could do what I did for my sister’s site. Use the colour from the logo for buttons, navigation background,etc.
November 2, 2015 at 3:33 pm #210464iizagParticipantwhats the site?
November 3, 2015 at 7:44 am #210492JohnParticipantI’m in the process of reworking it though. The links are in the same gold colour.
