The Importance of Your Mitzvah’s Logo
What’s the first thing that you think of when you hear “Target”? I’d bet a red and white bullseye popped into your mind. What about “McDonalds”? I’m sure you pictured those famous golden arches.
These are examples of logos so well-known that they don’t even need the company’s name featured within the design. Logos can be a symbol of longevity and professionalism for a company. But did you know they can play an important part in your child’s mitzvah as well?

The creation of a logo is one of the more creative and less business-oriented aspects of planning a mitzvah. It’s a chance for artistic expression, but it’s also significant for cohesion and theming. Here are three reasons why you should consider creating a logo for your mitzvah:
1. It unifies each aspect of your event.
While your logo doesn’t have to relate to your theme, a logo is a great way to display your theme even further and reinforce it. Those little images signify that each thing at your mitzvah is yours and yours alone. Like a company, once you have a logo, it becomes your brand. It can be incorporated on invitations, decor, and even within the lighting.
In this example, Logan’s logo was based on his love of baseball and the Yankees. His logo translated well on to our screens and his giveaways, such as the theme-appropriate baseball cap. Photo credits: Omar Gonzalez.
2. It sets you apart.
Chances are, you and your child are attending a bunch of mitzvahs right now. Guests will walk home with party favors, but in a blur of events, will they really remember which party each of the favors are from? Incorporating your logo with your favors, or anything else that you might give away to guests, prevents this from happening. Each time they see your logo, they’ll remember your amazing party!
3. It represents you.
Like theme of the mitzvah, your child’s logo can represent their interests, your hobbies, or passions…it really represents whatever makes you YOU. It can be as simple or as complex as you like, and inspiration can include sports teams, movies, or musicians. Your logo should be one-of-a-kind - because you are too.
Now, how to make your logo? It comes down to only a few options here: you can tap into your creative side and do it yourself - maybe your child will want to design their own logo! - or you can enlist a designer to work with you to create one. If you have the skills and a vision that you know you can bring to life, then go for it!
If you have any doubts or find that you have enough on your plate with party-planning, then it might be worth the time, money, and effort to work with a designer. Here at Xtreme Event Group, we also offer in-house professional logo design.
While a logo likely won’t make or break your event, it will add something a little extra professional and a little extra special to your child’s big day.
