A newspaper’s nameplate is its reputation in a single mark. It sits at the top of every front page and every article, on the app icon, and in every share — and it has to say credible, established, and worth reading. Logo In Hours builds custom newspaper logos and mastheads that make news publications look authoritative, trustworthy, and built to last.
Most newspaper logo projects begin in one of three places. Pick the one that fits — or just send us what you have and we’ll point you in the right direction.
For new papers, news sites, and publications that need an authoritative nameplate from launch.
Design My Masthead →For an old logo, a ChatGPT concept, a Canva draft, or a sketch that needs a professional finish.
Improve My Logo →For a JPG, PNG, or a nameplate you only have from an old issue, rebuilt as clean vector files.
Vectorize My Logo →News is a credibility business. Readers and advertisers judge a publication by its nameplate — the masthead at the top of the front page, the app icon, the logo on every shared article. A strong, established mark signals a publication worth trusting and reading.
A clean newspaper logo makes a new publication look established and a growing outlet look organized. Whether you are launching a paper, a digital news site, a community publication, or a magazine, or fixing a masthead that never looked right, our designers turn what you have into artwork built for real use.
You don’t need the design figured out first. Send your publication name, your focus, a current logo, a sketch, or an AI concept, and a designer will help decide what reads best as a masthead, an app icon, and a share graphic.

I just wanna say that this has been the best service I’ve received. When I reached out, they had my logo ready in literally less than two hours. They are amazing and the customer service is great. I am very grateful. I highly recommend them.
“Excellent quality and the price was great.”
Glad I found this company. Zee was very professional and easy to work with. The logo made for my company was excellent quality and the price was great. The versatile design was just what I needed — it gave me flexibility in choosing different merchandise. I would recommend using this company. Awesome job!
“They allowed several opportunities for updates to the design.”
I’m so happy I found Logo In Hours to customize my logo for my new small business. They were so patient, and allowed several opportunities for updates to the design. I love the final logo, and the price was very reasonable! I will definitely recommend them to my network, and plan to be a returning customer as I grow my business.
“Works perfectly across both digital and print.”
I am thrilled with the final logo! The designer took the time to understand our brand identity and delivered a clean, modern aesthetic that works perfectly across both digital and print. Most importantly, they provided a complete set of files (SVG, PNG, and transparent versions), making implementation seamless. The balance and color palette are spot on — highly recommend!
Newspaper logos reach for the same cues — a blackletter or serif nameplate, a globe, a quill, a classic rule line. They read as ‘news’ instantly, which helps, but a blackletter-over-a-rule is what many papers already run. The trick is to keep the authoritative cue and still look like a specific, credible publication — and to work as both a wide masthead and a tiny app icon.
Your publication name and focus, whether you lean a traditional newspaper, a digital-first news site, a community or niche outlet, or a magazine, and whether you want classic gravitas or a modern editorial look.
Reading clearly as a wide masthead across the front page, holding up as an app icon and favicon, and looking sharp on share graphics and social.
A newspaper logo has to work wide and small — a full masthead across the top of the page, and a compact icon or monogram for the app, the favicon, and social avatars. It has to look authoritative big and stay recognizable shrunk down.
A strong nameplate with the right type and proportions to anchor the front page and every section header with authority.
A compact mark or monogram that stays recognizable as an app icon, favicon, and social avatar — where digital readers find you.
A traditional newspaper, a digital news site, a community paper, and a magazine are all reading for different signals. Your logo can lean toward your format and audience.
A classic daily or weekly — an authoritative, timeless nameplate with heritage feel.
An online-first outlet — a modern, clean brand that works as an app icon and favicon.
Local and niche publications — an approachable, credible mark that reads trustworthy and specific.
Magazines and editorial brands — a stylish, distinctive wordmark that reads on a cover.
Good branding shouldn’t require an agency retainer. Our pricing is clear from the start, so you can make a confident decision.
An original newspaper logo designed around your business, with the files you need for signs, print, apparel, and web. Starting at $125.
Editing, redraw, AI-logo cleanup, and vector conversion of an existing logo or concept. Typically $125–$200.
Final pricing can depend on complexity, the number of concepts, illustration needs, requested revisions, the condition of any existing artwork, vector reconstruction, and turnaround. We review your project and explain the likely scope before anything begins.
Depending on the agreed scope, your designer can explore more than one direction before you commit — so the final mark is one you are confident about.
Agreed revisions are then made based on your feedback, with the number of concepts and rounds confirmed up front.
A lot of publishers now rough out a logo in ChatGPT or another AI tool, and that’s a smart start. The idea is usually fine; the file is the problem — a clumsy nameplate, garbled text, muddy colors, low resolution, no transparent background, and nothing usable as a real masthead or app icon.
We hear it all the time: “My printer says the masthead file is too small.” “I only have the logo from an old issue.” “My developer needs a vector file.” “The only copy is a scan.” “My AI logo blurs when I enlarge it.”
Enlarging a JPG or PNG is not the same as professionally rebuilding the artwork. A designer recreates the logo as scalable vector files that stay crisp at any size — the format sign shops, print vendors, and embroiderers ask for.
The nameplate from your publication’s early days may not fit the outlet you’ve grown — a digital audience, a redesign, a new section. A refresh can modernize the masthead without losing the recognition your readers already have.
The masthead looks dated, doesn’t work as an app icon, or no longer fits — maybe you went digital-first, or the original vector files are gone.
Typography, the nameplate, layout, color, contrast, scalability, and clean files built for masthead, app, and social.
