A tagline is more than just a catchy phrase — it’s a strategic part of your brand’s identity. When crafted and placed correctly, it can quickly communicate your company’s mission, personality, or promise in a way that’s easy to remember and emotionally resonant. Whether you're launching a new product, repositioning your services, or simply refining your messaging, the ability to add or update a tagline in your logo in Canva gives you a simple yet powerful way to reinforce what makes your business unique.
Done right, a tagline beneath your logo adds meaning without clutter, boosts recognition across platforms, and makes your visual branding more complete. But it’s not just what the tagline says — it’s how it looks. Proper spacing, font choice, color matching, and alignment all play a crucial role in making the update feel intentional rather than improvised.
That’s where Canva shines. Its drag-and-drop interface and precision layout tools allow you to seamlessly integrate a tagline beneath or beside your Logomax logo — even if you’ve never used design software before. You’ll be able to select fonts that complement your brand, match your color palette exactly, and maintain the clean, scalable quality of your original logo.
Whether your updated logo will appear on a website banner, email signature, social media post, or marketing collateral, Canva ensures your tagline addition looks polished and professional from the first draft to the final export.
This step-by-step guide will walk you through the full process — from uploading your Logomax logo, to selecting the perfect font, to exporting high-quality files that are ready for both digital and print use. By the end, you’ll have a refined, brand-aligned logo variation that not only looks great — it speaks clearly and memorably to your audience.
Before you begin editing, you’ll need to set up a dedicated workspace in Canva — the place where your Logomax logo and new tagline will come together with precision. A clean, well-sized canvas gives you full control over your layout and ensures your final export remains sharp, balanced, and professional.
Using a custom size ensures your logo and tagline aren’t squeezed into a template that doesn’t suit your layout. It gives you the freedom to:
You can always resize or crop later, but starting with a clean, intentionally sized canvas helps preserve layout clarity and creative control.
Before moving forward, rename your project at the top of the screen — for example:
“Logomax Logo + Tagline – Final Version”
This makes it easy to return later, create alternate versions, or share with your team.
Once your workspace is open and organized, you're ready to upload your logo and begin customizing your design with a tagline that adds clarity, confidence, and brand voice.
To begin working with your logo in Canva, you’ll need to upload it into the editor so you can position it, style it, and pair it with your tagline. This step is simple but important — and starting with the right file format ensures both quality and flexibility throughout the editing process.
Your logo will now appear on the design stage, ready to be adjusted and paired with a tagline.
We strongly recommend uploading the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) version of your logo whenever possible. Every Logomax logo includes this format by default.
SVG is ideal for editing and design work because:
Whether you’re resizing your logo or aligning it with a new tagline, the SVG version gives you full creative control — all while preserving your brand’s polished, professional appearance.
Note: You can access and re-download your SVG file at any time from your Logomax dashboard for up to 60 days after purchase. No additional request is needed.
Once the logo is placed on the canvas, drag it into position using Canva’s built-in alignment guides:
Avoid placing your logo too close to the canvas edge. Keeping visual breathing room improves readability and helps the final export look professional across all platforms.
With your logo now on the canvas and ready to go, you’re perfectly set up for the next step — adding a tagline that enhances your identity without disrupting the balance of your design.
Now that your logo is placed on the canvas, it’s time to add the messaging that gives it context: your tagline. Whether you're introducing a brand-new phrase or replacing an outdated one, Canva makes it easy to add clear, concise text that complements your logo visually and communicates your brand promise effectively.
As a rule of thumb, most effective taglines are no more than 5 to 7 words. This helps keep them impactful, memorable, and legible — especially when used in smaller formats like social media avatars or email signatures.
If your logo already includes a tagline that you want to replace:
Position the new text box in the same area for visual consistency, or explore a new placement if you’re reworking your brand layout.
Examples:
Your tagline is an extension of your brand — not just filler text. Treat it with intention, and you’ll give your logo a message that resonates.
Once you’ve entered your tagline text, it’s time to position it so that it becomes a seamless part of your logo — not just a floating sentence. Proper placement ensures that your logo and tagline feel like a single, cohesive unit, maintaining balance and harmony across all your branded designs.
In Canva, positioning is done using the drag-and-drop interface, which lets you move your text box freely. However, there’s a big difference between placing it somewhere and placing it with precision. A well-aligned tagline enhances your brand’s visual hierarchy, while a poorly positioned one can feel off-center or unprofessional.
Depending on your logo’s structure and orientation, here are a few popular (and proven) ways to place your tagline:
Centered below the entire logo
This is the most traditional approach. It works well for logos with a stacked layout or centralized icon. It’s also highly readable and keeps your design compact and balanced — great for print, websites, or social media headers.
Aligned beneath the business name only
If your logo includes an icon above or beside your business name, place the tagline beneath the text only. This maintains vertical flow and ensures the icon, name, and tagline each have clear visual roles.
To the right or left of the main logo
This works best for horizontal logos or when space is limited vertically (e.g., in website headers). A side-aligned tagline can feel modern and unique — just ensure it’s clearly distinguishable from the main logo text and not too close.
To align your tagline with pixel-perfect accuracy:
Leave consistent padding or white space between your logo and the tagline. Too close, and the design feels cramped; too far, and the connection between the two elements weakens. A good rule of thumb is to leave a margin equal to the height of a capital letter in your tagline font.
If your tagline is long or includes punctuation, make sure its alignment doesn't throw off the overall balance of your logo. You may need to slightly adjust the font size or spacing to preserve symmetry.
When in doubt, zoom out and view the logo from a distance — or preview it in mockups like a business card or website banner. Ask yourself: does the tagline feel like it belongs? If the answer is yes, you’ve likely found the right position.
Tagline positioning isn’t just about what looks good — it’s about reinforcing clarity and professionalism in every context where your brand appears.
The font you select for your tagline plays a critical role in how your logo is perceived. While the main logo often establishes the visual identity, the tagline reinforces it — subtly extending your message without overwhelming the core design. That’s why choosing the right font is essential for maintaining a cohesive and professional appearance.
Your tagline should feel like a natural extension of the logo — visually consistent, tonally aligned, and stylistically appropriate. Even if it’s small in size, the wrong font can create visual friction, while the right one enhances trust, elegance, or boldness depending on your brand's voice.
Match or complement the main logo font
If your Logomax logo uses a recognizable typeface, use the same font for your tagline whenever possible. This creates a unified, intentional design. If the exact font isn’t available in Canva, choose one with similar characteristics in weight, shape, and spacing.
Use simple, modern fonts for clarity
Sans-serif fonts like Open Sans, Lato, Montserrat, or Raleway are excellent choices for clean, readable taglines. They work especially well if your logo has a modern, minimal, or tech-inspired feel.
Avoid overly decorative or script fonts
While script and display fonts can look beautiful in some settings, they often reduce readability — especially at small sizes. Your tagline needs to be clear at a glance, whether it’s viewed on a phone screen, business card, or printed banner.
Maintain visual hierarchy
Your business name should remain the focal point of your logo. To keep that hierarchy intact:
If your logo was designed using a custom or premium typeface, it might not be available in Canva’s free font library. In that case:
Tagline typography might seem like a small detail, but it has a big influence on brand perception. By choosing a font that blends seamlessly with your main logo, you send the message that your visual identity is cohesive, intentional, and worthy of attention.
Once your tagline is placed and the font is selected, the next step is to fine-tune how it sits visually beneath or beside your logo. Proper spacing and formatting ensure your tagline is not only easy to read, but also feels proportionally balanced within your logo’s overall design. These small typographic refinements can make the difference between a logo that looks professionally polished — and one that feels awkward or misaligned.
Canva’s intuitive text tools allow you to adjust several key attributes, including font size, letter spacing, line height, and style formatting. Each plays a specific role in enhancing the clarity and visual rhythm of your tagline.
Use Canva’s Top Toolbar
Click on your tagline text box, and you’ll see a set of formatting options at the top of the screen. These include:
Tip: A good starting point is to make the tagline font 40–60% the size of the main text.
Aim for a clean, airy feel without sacrificing cohesion.
For most two-line taglines, a line height of 1.1 to 1.3 works well.
Tip: Over-formatting can distract. Let simplicity do the heavy lifting.
Poor spacing, inconsistent sizing, or disproportionate formatting can make a great logo look amateur. On the other hand, thoughtful typographic adjustments give your design rhythm, hierarchy, and polish — no matter how simple the logo.
Your tagline might be small in size, but its alignment and spacing should receive the same attention as the rest of your brand identity. Get these settings right, and your logo will feel cohesive, readable, and purpose-driven — every time it’s seen.
Color plays a powerful role in brand consistency — and when it comes to your logo, even a small mismatch can create visual dissonance. That’s why your tagline should always reflect the existing color palette of your logo. When the colors are in harmony, your logo looks unified, intentional, and trustworthy.
Here’s how to apply the right color to your tagline:
Why it matters: Color consistency across your logo and tagline reinforces your visual identity. It subtly communicates attention to detail and professionalism, and it helps your audience recognize and remember your brand across different platforms and materials.
By choosing a color that fits seamlessly with your existing logo design, your tagline won’t feel like an add-on — it will look like it’s always belonged there.
Once your tagline is perfectly styled, aligned, and color-matched to your logo, there’s one final step that ensures your design stays intact: grouping your elements together. This feature allows your logo and tagline to act as a single visual unit — which is essential when you're moving, scaling, or exporting your design across various platforms.
Even though Canva allows full manual control, it’s easy to accidentally nudge your tagline out of place when working on new layouts or adapting your design to different sizes. Grouping removes this risk entirely. It ensures that the relationship between your logo and tagline stays consistent, maintaining the spacing, hierarchy, and visual impact you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
To group your logo and tagline together:
Once grouped, any repositioning, duplication, or size adjustment you make will affect both the logo and tagline simultaneously — maintaining their exact alignment and proportion.
Protects your layout: You won’t accidentally misalign your tagline or logo while adjusting other elements in your design.
Speeds up future edits: Moving or scaling grouped elements is faster and more reliable, especially in complex designs with multiple layers.
Improves export consistency: When downloading your final design, grouping ensures your logo-tagline pairing is exported exactly as intended — with no last-minute surprises.
Maintains a unified brand identity: Whether you’re dropping your design into a social post, a business card, or a banner, your logo and tagline will always appear together as a single branded signature.
Before grouping, it’s smart to duplicate your design on a second Canva page or duplicate the ungrouped elements and move them off-canvas. This gives you a backup in case you want to test different tagline placements or make future edits.
By grouping the logo and tagline, you create a flexible, dependable design element that’s ready for consistent use across all your branding materials. It’s a simple action — but it adds reliability, efficiency, and polish to everything you create.
Once your logo and tagline are aligned, styled, and grouped, the final step is to export your updated design in the correct format — ensuring it looks sharp and professional across every platform where it appears.
The way you export your logo directly affects how it displays in real-world scenarios: on your website, social media, business cards, packaging, or digital presentations. That’s why it’s essential to choose the right settings for format, resolution, background, and clarity — so your hard work in Canva pays off everywhere your brand shows up.
It’s a smart idea to export and save multiple versions of your logo with tagline, tailored for various platforms and use cases. For example:
Organize these in a dedicated brand folder so you and your team can easily access the correct version as needed.
Even if your tagline adds clarity or marketing strength, some platforms require a simpler version of your logo — especially where space is limited or the logo appears very small (e.g., website favicons, app icons, or social profile thumbnails).
✅ Keep an original copy of your logo without the tagline so you always have the flexibility to switch between detailed and minimal versions depending on the context.
A professionally exported logo isn't just a final step — it's a bridge between your design and the real world. When you export with care, your logo with tagline will appear clean, aligned, and brand-consistent wherever you use it — helping your business look its best at every touchpoint.
Adding a tagline to your logo is not just a design update — it’s a strategic brand decision. But for it to have real impact, the updated logo needs to be used consistently across every part of your brand presence. A visually cohesive experience helps customers recognize you instantly, reinforces trust, and makes your messaging more memorable with every impression.
Once you’ve exported your final logo with the tagline, treat it as your new standard for branded communications. Make sure the updated version appears wherever your logo is used — not just in major assets, but in the smaller, everyday places where consistency often slips.
Apply the tagline-enhanced version of your logo across key brand touchpoints, such as:
Business Cards
Ensure that your printed cards use the most current logo design — especially important for networking, client meetings, or sales materials.
Presentation Decks
Replace older logo versions in your pitch decks, internal reports, and slide templates. A consistent logo and tagline combination reinforces your brand story throughout the presentation.
Email Signatures
Use the new version in your email signature to reinforce your value proposition every time you reach out to clients, leads, or partners.
Social Media Banners and Profile Graphics
Update your header images and social graphics on platforms like LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and YouTube. This ensures a consistent brand presence across your online footprint.
Website Header and Footer
Add the tagline-enhanced version of your logo to your website where space allows — often in the homepage header or About section.
Marketing and Promotional Materials
Include the updated logo in flyers, posters, ads, downloadable guides, email newsletters, lead magnets, and any digital or print campaigns.
Create a centralized folder for all finalized logo versions (tagline and no-tagline, PNG and PDF formats, light and dark backgrounds).
Label files clearly (e.g., Logo_Tagline_Color_Transparent.png, Logo_Tagline_Print.pdf) to avoid confusion and ensure your team uses the correct version.
Replace older versions immediately across all templates and documents to prevent outdated designs from circulating.
Document your logo usage guidelines in a short internal style guide or reference sheet. This helps your team, freelancers, or collaborators apply your updated logo consistently.
Your tagline isn’t just decorative — it’s a verbal anchor that adds depth and emotion to your brand. Used consistently, it becomes an extension of your brand voice and personality.
A great tagline helps answer key questions instantly:
When placed beneath a clean, professional logo, a well-written tagline adds substance — without taking up space or distracting from your design.
Maintaining consistency is what turns a logo with a tagline into a long-term branding asset. Every time someone sees it — whether on a business card or a social post — they should recognize it immediately, understand your message, and feel aligned with your brand values.
This kind of repetition and visual clarity is what builds recognition, trust, and lasting brand loyalty.
well-integrated tagline does more than just occupy space below your logo — it adds voice, clarity, and emotional resonance to your visual identity. Whether you’re communicating your mission, reinforcing a core promise, or simply making your brand more memorable, your tagline acts as a bridge between who you are and how your audience perceives you.
When paired correctly with your Logomax logo, a tagline amplifies your brand’s personality while preserving the strength and elegance of your original design. And thanks to Canva’s user-friendly tools, you don’t need advanced design skills to make it happen. In just a few minutes, you can add or update your tagline, fine-tune the layout, and export a professional-grade logo that’s ready for every channel — from websites and social media to business cards and presentations.
But this process isn’t just about getting the words in place. It’s about doing it with intention — making sure every letter, color, and spacing choice contributes to a stronger, more consistent brand identity. Even the simplest logo variation can carry more weight when your tagline is styled, placed, and aligned with care.
✅ Keep your tagline short, clear, and purposeful
Five to seven words is often all you need. Avoid clutter or vague language — aim for clarity and confidence.
✅ Use a font and color that match your main logo
Harmony in type and tone reinforces consistency and professionalism.
✅ Adjust alignment, spacing, and size carefully
Don’t let formatting issues undermine the impact of your message. Test the visual balance at different sizes.
✅ Export in high resolution with the right background
Use a transparent PNG for flexible digital use, or a high-DPI PDF for print. Always preview before finalizing.
✅ Save grouped and ungrouped versions
Having both gives you flexibility for future edits or alternate layouts, without having to rebuild your design from scratch.
