What a one-colour logo is for
One hue, all the shading
Every pixel keeps its brightness and takes the colour you choose. Dark parts become dark versions of that colour and light parts become light ones, so the internal structure of the mark survives instead of collapsing into a solid blob.
Why manufacturing asks for it
Embroidery uses one thread colour per pass, screen printing uses one screen per ink, and engraving has no colour at all. Each additional colour is a real cost, so a one-ink version is often the difference between a quote you accept and one you do not.
It is usually in the brand book
Alongside the full-colour and mono versions, most guidelines specify a single-colour variant and the exact ink to use. Paste that hex into the picker and you have the asset.
Transparency is preserved
Only visible pixels are recoloured. A transparent logo keeps its alpha channel and silhouette, so it drops onto any surface unchanged in shape.
One colour versus a silhouette
This keeps the shading, so a mark with overlapping shapes still reads as separate elements. A silhouette flattens everything to one flat shape. If the manufacturer wants a pure cut shape rather than a tonal one, they want a silhouette instead.

Engraving and etching
Give a fabricator a mark with no colour to interpret.
Stamps and seals
Turn a full-colour mark into something a rubber die can reproduce.

What people use it for
The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.
Colourways you can revisit
Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.
Cutouts with awkward edges
AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.
No export, edit, re-import loop
The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.
Ten options in the time one used to take
Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.
Brand colours matched exactly
Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.
Free to preview, priced per export
Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
