The mockups below are grouped by the surface they show: print finishes like foil and emboss, signs and storefronts, and one 3D mockup for digital presentations. Pick one or two that match where the brand will actually live.

Foil, emboss and deboss
1. Gold Stamping Logo Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
Drop a logo into the smart object and it appears hot-stamped in gold foil on dark paper. Foil reads as premium at a glance, which makes this a strong opening slide when you present a logo to a hotel, beauty or wedding client.
- Best for: making a logo feel premium when you present it to a client.
- In the file: 3000 x 2000 px, 300 dpi, Smart Object, works in Photoshop CS4 or newer.
- Tip: Thin hairlines can disappear in real foil printing; if the mark only works with very fine lines, mention it to the client before they order stationery.
2. Emboss & Foil Leather Logo Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
A close, angled view of an emboss on smooth leather, with a plain and a foiled version of the logo. It shows the client how their logo will look pressed into a menu cover, a notebook, a jewelry box or a swing tag.
- Best for: showing a client how their logo looks on real products like tags and covers.
- In the file: 3600 x 2400 px, 300 dpi, plain and foiled logo effects, adjustable colors, shadows and lighting.
- Tip: Emboss effects favor bold, simple shapes; test the logo at its real size on the product.
3. Glossy Debossed Logo Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
A minimal logo can look too plain on a white slide; carved into a surface it suddenly looks expensive. Use this scene when a client worries that a simple mark or monogram is not enough. The surface color and sheen can be matched to the brand book.
- Best for: proving that a minimal logo or monogram works as a physical mark.
- In the file: 4500 x 3000 px, 300 dpi, Smart Object, adjustable color and sheen.
- Tip: Show the debossed version next to a flat version so the client sees the logo works both ways.
Signs and storefronts
4. Timber-Clad Storefront Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
Clients approve a logo faster when they see it above their own door. A storefront sign next to the business cards turns an identity from a file into a place. Short logotypes and initials look best here, and white, black, chrome, glow and colored 3D effects are included.
- Best for: helping a client picture their logo on their own shop or office.
- In the file: 3600 x 2400 px, 300 dpi, 3D white, black, chrome, glow and colored effects, adjustable colors and shadows.
- Tip: Long names get small on facades; if the brand name is long, show the monogram on the sign and the full name on print.
5. Backlit Retail Sign Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
Backlit letters are the signage of hotels, restaurants and boutiques that stay open after dark, so this scene shows how a logo works in the evening, not just on paper. Metal, matte and backlit styles are included, so the sign can be shown both lit and unlit.
- Best for: presenting a logo as an upscale illuminated storefront sign.
- In the file: 3600 x 2400 px, 300 dpi, metal, matte and backlit logo styles, organized layers and folders.
- Tip: Thin serifs can blur in a halo; check the backlit version at a distance, as people will see it from the street.
6. Wooden Lettering Logo Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
Wooden letters on a wall, for brands that want warmth and a handmade feel. It helps a client imagine their logo as physical letters on the wall of a studio, café or shop.
- Best for: showing a logo as physical letters in a real interior.
- In the file: High-resolution layered PSD, Smart Objects.
- Tip: Separate letters need consistent spacing; review the logo's kerning before showing it as individual wooden pieces.
7. Neon Light Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
A neon scene with a soft halo around the shapes, like real tubing. Use it to present a logo for a bar, an event or a music project, or to give a brand reveal on social media some after-hours energy. Three color options are included.
- Best for: giving a logo reveal some energy for bars, events and social posts.
- In the file: 4500 x 3000 px, 300 dpi, Smart Object, 3 color options.
- Tip: Neon reads best with continuous strokes; logos with many separate small parts can look cluttered as tubing.
For digital presentations
8. Isometric Brand Logo Mockup
Save for laterOn your phone? Save this mockup to Pinterest and download it on your computer.
An isometric 3D mockup that turns a flat logo or icon into a solid object. It's a clean way to open a pitch deck or portfolio case study for a tech or app brand.
- Best for: opening a pitch deck or case study with a 3D version of a logo.
- In the file: High-resolution PSD, Smart Object layers, adjustable settings.
- Tip: Use it for the cover slide and keep the rest of the presentation flat, so the 3D effect stays special.
How to present a logo to a client
- Start with the logo on white, then show it on two or three real surfaces where the brand will actually appear.
- Mix a print surface (business card, foil, packaging) with a large one (sign or storefront) to show the logo works at any size.
- Keep the mockups in one visual mood, like all daylight or all studio light, so the presentation feels like one brand.

Frequently asked questions
What is a logo mockup?
A template that shows a logo on a realistic surface, such as paper, a sign or packaging. You place the logo into a Smart Object and the mockup adds lighting, texture and perspective.
How many mockups should a logo presentation include?
Two to four is usually enough: one print surface, one large-scale surface such as a sign, and one that matches the client's main product or channel.
Can I use logo mockups without Photoshop?
Yes. The free browser-based editor Photopea opens PSD files and supports Smart Objects.
Can I use mockups in client work and my portfolio?
Usually, but the terms depend on the creator and the marketplace. Check the license on the product page before using a mockup commercially.
What are good logo mockup ideas for different businesses?
Match the scene to the business: gold foil or emboss for luxury, beauty and wedding brands, a storefront sign for a restaurant, café or shop, neon for bars and events, and a 3D logo for tech and app brands.
Final thoughts
Choose the two surfaces where the brand will be seen most, show the logo there, and keep everything else simple. A client approves a logo faster when they can picture it on their own shop or product.
