Electrician logo design
An electrician's logo is printed on more certificates, labels and reports than almost any other trade's. Landlords and letting agents see it long after the van has gone.
Logos from
£199
→The short answer
A good electrician logo looks trustworthy on a certificate, stays readable on a small label inside a consumer unit cupboard, and is more than another yellow lightning bolt. Ours start at £199, and we show you the logo on your van, your certificate header and your labels before you pay anything.
(01)Eight concepts
For fictional electrical firms. Only one of them uses a bolt.
Electrician logo ideas
Concept Sparkline ElectricalElectrician
If you must have a bolt, make it one solid shape in one bright colour, so it still reads on a sticker the size of a stamp.
Concept Lumen ElectricalDomestic electrician
A light bulb over the name: about what customers get, light that works, rather than about danger.
Concept Northwire ElectricalElectrical contractor
A plug in a deep green disc: calm, practical, and nothing like the yellow-and-black of every warning sign.
Concept Hollis ElectricalRewires and new circuits
A monogram in purple and gold for a firm that wants to look established; the initials are chosen so they can't be mistaken for a safety mark.
Concept ChargewellEV charger installation
A round badge with a teal accent, for a specialist whose customers are buying something new and want it to feel modern.
Concept OhmworkTesting and inspection
A coined name in a precise mono type, made for the top of an inspection report a letting agent will file for years.
Concept Glowhouse LightingLighting design and installation
A spark of light and a warm serif, for an electrician who sells the look of a room as much as the wiring behind it.
Concept Hearthside ElectricalHome electrics
A house in a shield: domestic, dependable and simple enough to embroider on a work jacket.
(02)Where it lives
Paperwork matters more for electricians than for most trades.
Where an electrician's logo has to work
| Where | The limit | What the logo needs |
|---|---|---|
| Certificates and inspection reports | Printed or saved as PDFs, often in black and white, and kept for years | A clean one-colour version that looks official at the top of a page |
| Labels in the consumer unit cupboard | A few centimetres wide, read by torchlight | A small version with the name large and the number beside it |
| The van | Seen in traffic for a few seconds | A short name, bold type and solid colours |
| Workwear | Embroidered on dark fabric | A simplified version drawn for thread, in white or one light colour |
| Your Google profile and quotes | Shown as a small square or circle | A mark or monogram that still reads at that size |
That paperwork reaches people who hire electricians again and again. Private landlords in England must have their electrics inspected and tested at least every five years1, so the report with your logo at the top sits in a landlord's or letting agent's files until the next one is due. Make sure your name is on it clearly.
(03)Scheme logos
The badges customers check, used the way the schemes allow.
Competent person scheme logos and your own
Registering with a competent person scheme lets you certify your own notifiable electrical work in homes in England and Wales, instead of going through building control2. The scheme's badge is one of the strongest things you can put beside your logo, and the schemes protect it. NICEIC, for example, lets registered contractors use its Approved Contractor logo, not the NICEIC logo on its own, and supplies the artwork through its customer portal3. Contractors who have shown the logo without being registered have been prosecuted4.
How we handle scheme logos
- We design your logo so it sits comfortably next to a scheme badge, never one that imitates it.
- We leave space for the badge and your registration number on the van, the quote and the certificate layout.
- We use only the artwork your scheme gives you, unaltered.
- If you're not registered yet, we design everything to work without the badge, and add it when you are.
(04)The bolt problem
Standing out without a lightning bolt
Avoid looking like a warning signColour
Yellow and black, a bolt and a triangle together read as "danger" before they read as "electrician". Deep blues, greens or a warm red feel safer, and they're easier to spot in a street full of yellow vans.
Choose initials with careMonograms
Two letters in a box can look like a product safety mark. We check that your initials don't, before you see them.
Say what you do bestSymbols
A bulb for lighting work, a plug for EV chargers, a house for domestic work: a symbol that says what you do best is more useful than one that says "electricity".
Keep the word "Electrical" smallType
Customers remember the first word of your name. Set it large and let the trade sit underneath in smaller type.

Questions
(07)Questions
It doesn't have to, and most stand out more without one, because so many electricians use a bolt. If you want one, keep it a single solid shape so it still reads small, and pair it with a colour that isn't yellow and black.
No. Scheme badges go beside your logo, as the scheme's own artwork, and only while you're registered. Each scheme sets its own rules for how its badge is shown; we follow them in every layout we design.
We test it there before you approve it, at the top of a real certificate layout in colour and in black and white, so it looks official whichever way the page is printed or saved.
