Step 1

The first two Text options are for the monogram letters. The next is the name of the company, followed by the description and extra options to play with.

One of the options for each element is to change the font. Go ahead and change the fonts to your liking. I'll be using the following options:

Step 4

Placeit’s interface allows you to move elements as if you were using normal design software. If your logo needs adjustments, feel free to move the elements around. I moved the company name and description closer to the monogram logo.
