Great PCBs not only function correctly - they're also visually appealing like a finished product. Custom logos and silkscreened designs make bare boards retail ready. You can use your company's logo, revision number, and label connectors to create a stronger brand and better customer experience. Use clean typography and consistently size your markings; avoid extra markings on a board and ensure that all markings are easily readable at small sizes.

You can also use silkscreens on the silkscreen layer to make it easy to understand polarity, pin 1 indicator, and identify test points. Examples of inspiration for the design of your silkscreens can be found on boards created by companies like Arduino and the Raspberry Pi Foundation - both are simple, functional designs that appear very polished.

In conclusion, creating a well-designed PCB will be perceived as well-intended, professional and usable outside of your facility.
