How to Create an Invoice with a Logo

Now that you have successfully created an invoice without a logo, you can easily include a logo with a bit of modification. Next, you would want your logo in digital form. If you don’t have a logo, you can create it or have someone do it for you. If you already have a digital copy of the logo, you would want to convert it into a picture form.

Most software applications, especially word processing applications, would allow you to import the logo into the workspace where you have created your invoice.

Once you have inserted your logo, you may place it anywhere within the document. However, based on convention and professional best practices, you would want to place the logo either above (header) or below (footer) the invoice document. Within the header or footer, the logo is usually centered. You can either place it to the right or left within the header or footer, depending on your preference or based on good aesthetics.

Make sure you adjust the size of your logo to fit within your invoice as you would not want it to spill over into other elements of your documents.
