Where and How to Put a Logo on a Resume? (& What to Avoid)
The best spot to put your logo on your resume is the resume header at the upper right. Many resume layouts have a placeholder spot for the candidate’s photo; however, adding a photo to a resume isn’t always a great idea. Use it for your personal logo instead.
Or, find free Word resume templates that allow you to import your own logo.
There are a few things you should remember when adding a logo to your resume:
- Keep it small: a logo should be a visual addition, not the main part of your resume.
- Make sure it looks professional: your resume is not the best place to showcase a logo that looks amateurish.
- Check if it matches the resume template: for example, a logo with green hues may not look great on a resume template with bright red headings.
