📌 Goal: Find a clean, simple version of your school logo. Simpler is better — the printer can't handle tiny details.
- Search Google Images for your school logo or mascot
- Choose the simplest version you can find — bold shapes print cleanly, tiny details don't
- Download it as PNG or JPG
🆚 Simple vs. Complicated Logos
Not all logos print equally well. Before you pick one, understand the difference:
✅ Simple Logo — Good for Printing
🟢 Bold, thick shapes
🟢 Minimal fine lines
🟢 Clear silhouette
🟢 No tiny text
🟢 Easy to upload to the generator
A simple star, letter, or bold mascot shape will process cleanly in the Keychain Generator, hold up well as a keychain, and print with clear detail.
❌ Complicated Logo — Harder to Print
🔴 Tiny thin lines
🔴 Small text details
🔴 Complex gradients
🔴 Overlapping shapes
🔴 Hard to process cleanly
A detailed crest with thin lines, small text, and overlapping shapes may not process cleanly in the generator and could lose key details when printed at keychain size.
💡 How to Choose a Logo That Will Print Successfully:
- Bold shapes win — thick outlines and filled areas process and print clearly at keychain size (40–60 mm)
- Avoid tiny text — letters smaller than about 5 mm will blur or disappear in the print
- Fewer shapes = cleaner result — the more separate pieces a logo has, the harder it is for the generator to process
- Check the silhouette — could you recognize your logo if it was a solid black shape? If yes, it'll probably print well
- When in doubt, simplify — it's always better to print a clean simple design than a messy complex one
💡 When in doubt, go simpler. Fine lines and tiny text rarely survive the print.
