PHOTOGRAPHY BACKGROUND There are a couple of ways the logo can be used on photo backgrounds, but each option should be excercised with care, making sure the logo and type aren’t obstructed by the image. In most cases, you can use either a solid white or solid black logo on top of a background image. The color logo only works on particular type of image so use with care. TIPS: 1. Photos with shallow depth-offield works best. 2. Avoid busy images with too much detail. 3. Applying a darker transparent overlay on an image helps make text more readable.
