What is a Video Logo Overlay?

A logo overlay is a graphic element placed on top of your video content. Unlike embedded watermarks that are burned into the video, overlays create a professional "broadcast-style" look where your logo appears to float above the content. This technique is used by TV networks, streaming services, and professional content creators worldwide.

The key to effective overlays is balancing visibility with aesthetics. Your logo should be noticeable enough for brand recognition but subtle enough that it doesn't distract from your content. This is achieved through careful positioning, sizing, and opacity adjustment.

Available Overlay Styles

🎯 Sleek Corner

Classic static placement in any corner. Professional and clean—the most widely used style for brand watermarks.

🎬 Glass Ribbon

Modern translucent bar across the frame. Creates a broadcast-quality look perfect for professional content.

👻 Ghost Float

Animated overlay that drifts subtly across the frame. Nearly impossible to remove while remaining unobtrusive.

📰 News Ticker

Scrolling text at the bottom of the frame. Modern look that's great for @handles and website URLs.

Video Overlay Best Practices

1.
Use transparency wisely: 40-60% opacity balances visibility with aesthetics. Too solid looks jarring; too transparent becomes invisible.
2.
Size matters: A logo that's 5-15% of frame width is typically ideal. Larger logos can feel intrusive; smaller ones may be hard to see.
3.
Consider the platform: UI elements on TikTok and Instagram cover screen edges. Place overlays where they won't be obscured.
4.
Contrast is key: White logos for dark content, darker logos for bright scenes. Some creators use outlined logos for visibility on any background.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adjust the logo overlay size?

Yes, you can resize your overlay from 1% to 100% of the video frame. Most users find 10-20% works well for corner placement, while centered overlays can be larger for artistic effect.

Which image formats work best for overlays?

PNG files with transparent backgrounds are ideal. They allow your logo to blend naturally with the video without a visible bounding box. JPEG files work but will have a solid background.

Is the export watermarked by LogoOnVideo?

No. The only watermark on your video will be the one you add yourself. We don't add our own branding to your exported content.

Can I animate my logo overlay?

Yes! The "Ghost Float" and "News Ticker" styles provide animation. Ghost Float makes your logo drift subtly across the screen, while News Ticker creates a scrolling effect at the bottom.

What's the difference between an overlay and a watermark?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Technically, "overlay" suggests a graphic layer on top of video, while "watermark" specifically implies branding for protection. Our tool creates overlays that serve as watermarks.
