09 Luxury Logo Mockup
Using a logo mockup is a great way to showcase your logo design in a realistic and professional setting. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a logo mockup effectively:
Step 1: Choose the Right Logo Mockup
Find a high-quality mockup that fits your brand style (e.g., business cards, stationery, signage, apparel, or digital screens).
Websites like Envato Elements, Freepik, Behance, or GraphicBurger offer free and premium mockups.
Step 2: Download & Extract the Mockup File
Most mockups come in PSD (Photoshop) or AI (Illustrator) format.
If it’s a ZIP file, extract it before opening.
Step 3: Open the Mockup in Photoshop
Launch Adobe Photoshop.
Go to File > Open and select the mockup file (usually
.psd
).
Step 4: Locate the Smart Object Layer
In the Layers Panel, look for a layer named:
"Replace Logo"
"Double-click to edit"
"Your Logo Here"
This layer is usually a Smart Object, allowing easy logo replacement.
Step 5: Insert Your Logo
Double-click the Smart Object thumbnail (in the Layers Panel).
A new tab will open—delete the placeholder logo (if any).
Paste or drag & drop your logo into this document.
Ensure your logo is high-resolution (PNG with transparent background preferred).
Adjust size & position (use
Ctrl+T
for Free Transform).Save (Ctrl+S) and close the Smart Object tab.
Step 6: Customize the Mockup (Optional)
Adjust colors, shadows, or textures if needed.
Modify background or lighting to match your brand.
Step 7: Save & Export
Go to File > Save As (for PSD editing later).
For final use, export as JPEG/PNG:
File > Export > Export As (choose high quality).
Alternative Tools for Non-Photoshop Users
Canva: Some mockups work with drag-and-drop templates.
Online Mockup Generators (Placeit, Mockup World).
Figma/Illustrator: Some mockups support these tools.
