Wordmark stress test
Change the inputs and inspect whether the name still reads at different weights, spacing, colors, and compact sizes.
Test the name before the effects
A wordmark should remain identifiable without gradients, shadows, or animation. Start in one color, reduce it to navigation and favicon-adjacent sizes, and inspect ambiguous pairs such as rn/m, cl/d, and uppercase I/l.
Spacing that feels elegant at poster size can fall apart in a small header. Review both the overall silhouette and individual letter collisions.
Use system output as a rough instrument
This tool does not design a final logo. It helps compare word length, case, weight, and spacing before custom lettering. Treat the browser font as a neutral proxy and move promising directions into a proper vector workflow.
Avoid making legal availability or distinctiveness decisions from visual appeal alone.
- Wide and narrow viewport
- Light and dark background
- Small navigation size
- Single-color reproduction
- Similar-letter ambiguity
Record the decision
Save the tested name, typography direction, minimum readable size, spacing choice, and failure cases. A small record makes later design reviews about requirements instead of personal memory.
Check trademark availability and domain or handle strategy through appropriate professional and registry sources before launch.
View the wordmark at 24–32 pixels high, in one color, on both light and dark backgrounds, and ask a new viewer to read it without context.
