Do You Need the LLC in Your Logo Design?

Do You Need the LLC in Your Logo Design?

Sometimes when clients approach me for a logo design, I see that they want to include the “LLC” in the logo design. While this makes sense for some people who might want to make sure that all of their bases are covered, rest assured that you do not need the LLC in your logo design. Here are some examples of LLCs that do not use LLC in their logo design.

  • Post Foods: Post foods makes many different cereals, and all use the Post logo without the LLC. You will see the Post Foods website displays “Post Foods, LLC” at the bottom, but the LLC is not incorporated into their logo design.

  • BMW: Obviously a classy car company with a great logo design, but notice that the BMW website notes that BMW is an LLC, but their logo design does not have an LLC in it.

  • Lowe’s Home Improvement: Lowe’s is an equally common brand, and the Lowe’s webiste also reveals they are an LLC. But their logo design does not use an LLC.

The bottom line: Check with an attorney if you’re dying to know, but it’s likely that as long as you are not being deceitful, not using an LLC in your logo design will not change anything. In fact, it will make your logo a lot easier to design!

I’m excited to see the new Auxiliary Services web design for UNC Charlotte included in the honorable mentions at theCSSawards.com. Very cool. Hopefully this is an inroad to getting other web design projects listed in other CSS galleries.

So why is the district court in Charlotte NC using a Yahoo email address to field questions from the public? That is an excellent question. For the same reason that it took me far too long to be able to find their phone number online. If anyone from the District Court in Charlotte is reading this, please drop me a line and I would be happy to redesign your website and make it easier to use. I also might throw in an email address that uses your domain, but only if someone helps em out with this registration ticket.
