Tomodachi Life Logo Pixel Art Maker
Convert logos, brand marks, band names, and text designs into clean Palette House pixel art for clothes, posters, and decor. The tool is pre-tuned with Retro + None — chunky cells preserve silhouettes, no dithering means flat colour stays flat.

Tips · logo sources
Keeping logos legible at low resolution
- Find the simplest version of the logo. Brand sites usually offer a primary mark — that’s what you want. Avoid composite layouts with tagline + mark.
- Bold, blocky, high-contrast = success. The classics — Coca-Cola disc, Nike swoosh, Apple, McDonald’s — were designed for low-resolution embroidery and signage. Same constraints, same outcome.
- Drop dithering entirely. Logos are about identity. Any noise breaks the brand recognition.
- If text is critical, upgrade to Detailed. Going from 16×16 to 64×64 gives you the cells to render short words legibly. Still keep dithering off.
- Crop to a square. Wide horizontal logos waste vertical canvas. Crop to the most recognisable element (often just the icon, not the wordmark).
Logo pixel art · FAQ
Clean-shape settings for brand marks and text designs.
Best preset for logos in Tomodachi Life?
Retro (16×16 grid, 16-px brush) with dithering set to None. Logos rely on clean, recognisable shapes — chunky cells preserve the silhouette, and any dithering breaks the flat-colour identity that makes a logo a logo.
Will my logo be readable?
Bold mark-style logos (Nike swoosh, Apple, McDonald's arches) survive 16×16 well. Logos with thin text or fine detail lose legibility — try Balanced (32×32) if Retro is too chunky, or simplify the source to just the icon.
Can I make a band T-shirt?
Yes — band logos with bold shapes (AC/DC, Metallica, Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures cover) are some of the highest-impact Palette House T-shirt designs. Use Balanced or Detailed for designs with intricate text.
What about gradient or 3D logos?
Skip them. The Palette House can't reproduce smooth gradients well, and 3D effects pixelate into noise. Find a flat or vector version of the same logo first.
