AI design tools are everywhere these days. With a few prompts, you can generate a logo that looks polished enough for social media. But when it comes to real-world use—like embroidery on polos, hats, and jackets—AI logos can quickly fall apart.
That’s where a strong partnership between branding experts and decorators makes all the difference. At Metro Nova Creative, we design logos with production in mind. And at Sure Shot Screen Printing, we make sure those logos look amazing once they’re embroidered or screen printed.
The Problem with AI-Generated Logos
AI logos often look fine on your computer screen, but embroidery machines don’t see them the same way. Here are the most common issues:
1. Too Many Colors and Gradients
AI designs are packed with subtle shades and gradients. What looks like “blue” to you could actually be 17 different blues to an embroidery machine—each requiring a separate thread change, extra production time, and higher costs.
2. Random Artifacts and Glitches
AI graphics often contain stray details, fuzzy edges, or weird highlights that don’t stitch well. These little imperfections can cause messy embroidery.
3. Custom Colors = Extra Fees
Embroidery shops use standardized thread charts. If your AI logo includes unusual colors, you may face additional fees for special-order threads and machine setup.
The Metro Nova Creative Difference: Logos Built for the Real World
At Metro Nova Creative, we’ve been building logos and brand identities for over 20 years. Our team knows how to create designs that look sharp online and translate seamlessly to physical applications like embroidery, screen printing, signage, and more.
When we design your logo, we:
- Choose color palettes that match real-world thread and ink systems.
