"One click and we get beautiful grids. Great for checking work and making client presentations stand out."

Kristian GrljevicFreelance Brand Designer

"Instantly creates construction grids for your logo, great for fixing errors and showing off in presentations."

Ian Paget@logogeek

"The best logo designers use consistent shapes, angles and rules to perfect their work. This makes that process quick."

The problem

Hand-drawn grids prove nothing.

Slow

Half a day per concept, redone for every revision.

Inconsistent

Every grid drawn slightly differently, on every project.

Decorative

Drawn over the logo after the fact, instead of used to fix it.

Four grids, one panel.

Base grids

Start from a proper geometric foundation: square, isometric, hexagon or golden ratio, sized to your logo.

Four grid types.
Square, isometric, hexagon or golden ratio, picked from the panel.
Sized to your logo.
The grid fits the mark, not the other way round.
Density and colour.
Adjust both live as you work.
Make guides.
Turn any grid into Illustrator guides in one click.

Construction grids

Reveal the circles, lines and angles inside your mark. Catch a curve that's off before the client does.

Reads your artwork.
Curves, strokes and angles detected automatically.
Catch it early.
See a curve that's off before the client does.
Fix, then regenerate.
Adjust the mark and rebuild the grid in seconds.
Presentation-ready.
Drops straight into presentations and guidelines.

Lockup grids

Set the spacing and alignment between logomark and logotype, so every lockup uses the same units.

Horizontal and stacked.
Grids for each lockup arrangement.
Shared units.
Spacing derived from the mark, not eyeballed.
Alignment lines.
Baselines and optical centres drawn for you.
Consistent set.
Every lockup follows the same rule.

Clearspace grids

Set the safe space around your logo so it stays legible wherever it's placed.

Exclusion zone.
Set from a unit of your own logo, not a guess.
One rule, every variation.
The same clearspace on logomark, logotype and lockups.
Minimum size included.
Legibility rules for print and screen in the same pass.
Straight into guidelines.
Becomes the clearspace page in Brand Guidelines.

How much time is that?

A full grid set by hand takes around 72 minutes per logo. Logo Grids does it in about one.

Questions & answers

Does it work on any logo?

Yes. Grids are generated from vector artwork in Illustrator. Text and outlined type work too.

Can I edit the grids afterwards?

Yes. Everything lands as normal Illustrator objects on their own layer.

Do I need to buy Logo Grids separately?

No. It's one of the six tools in Akrivi Studio, all included in the $129/year subscription.
