A witch logo in black and white can be a powerful and visually striking symbol. The use of black and white colors has its own significance and can convey various meanings. The witch, as a symbol, is often associated with magic, mystery, and the supernatural. The black color represents darkness, power, and secrecy, while the white color represents purity, wisdom, and spirituality. Therefore, a witch logo in black and white can combine these contrasting elements to create a visually appealing and meaningful design. It can also evoke a sense of intrigue and capture the attention of viewers.
When you light candles for yourself remember there are basic magical associations for each color. It is ideal to use a candle whose color matches your intention for your spell; however, we don’t always have the correct color on hand, so what do you do?
When the energy is running high they can melt down quickly and you ll end up with a huge pool of molten wax on the plate and that can cause really high flames as well, so the chimes can become a real fire hazard. You can bury them on your property or if you rent put them in a potted plant, or just put them in a plastic baggy and store them where no one will bother them.
It can also evoke a sense of intrigue and capture the attention of viewers. The minimalistic nature of black and white logos allows for versatility and easy reproduction across various platforms and mediums. Whether it is for a witchcraft-themed business, a Halloween event, or any other related purpose, a black and white witch logo can serve as a strong and iconic representation.
Color binding magic
There is now a video of this technique. Go to this post to watch the video.
I met Susie at Quilting in the Pines last weekend. She drives a pumpkin orange (or Tangerine Tango, the color of the year!) Audi TT. And she demonstrated the coolest completely-machine-sewn binding I've ever seen!
1. For this technique, you will need a main binding color and an accent color. Of course, you can use the same color for both -- but why bother with this technique, then?
2. Trim the excess batting back backing from your quilt. Then measure the perimeter and add 10" or so.
3. Cut as many strips of the main (outer) binding fabric as you need to total the perimeter of your quilt at 1 1/2" wide.
4. Cut the same number of flange (accent) strips at 1 3/4".
5. Sew the strips of each fabric together end to end. I always use a mitered join to minimize bulk.
6. Sew the main color and the accent color together lengthwise using a 1/4" seam. You now have two strips equal to the perimeter of your quilt.
7. Press toward the main (1 1/2" strip) fabric.
8. Then press lengthwise with wrong sides together and raw edges even. See how a narrow piping/flange appears when you meet the raw edges?
9. Leave a 10" tail and begin sewing the binding to the back side of your quilt , with the contrast color facing up, using a 1/4" seam.
10. In January I wrote a tutorial on mitering binding corners. It also shows how to join the two ends of the binding.
11. Once the binding is attached all the way around your quilt, lightly press the binding toward the cut edge. This will make wrapping the binding to the front side of the quilt easier.
12. Now wrap the binding to the front, and using thread that matches the flange (or use Superior Threads' Mono Poly) "stitch in the ditch" between the flange and the main binding fabric.
Miter the corners as you would any binding:
13. Join the two ends of the binding as shown in my January tutorial, with this exception. In order to make the flange meet evenly, place a pin through the seam line from the wrong side:
(This is a sample -- not the actual binding on the quilt!) Sew across the two ends of the binding at a 45 degree angle:
And you'll have a perfect join!
Doesn't this technique look great? And it's completely done by machine -- no tedious hand stitching the binding in place!
According to Susie, this technique is approved for use on Quilts of Valor (previously, they required bindings be hand-sewn in place).
This will certainly be my binding method of choice from now on! Thanks, Susie!
Addendum
Several readers have asked me to show what the reverse side of the quilt looks like when this binding method is used. Here is a photo from Quiltmaker's Quilty Pleasures blog showing the reverse of my Mandarin Express Scrap Squad quilt:
Can you see the single line of stitching just to the left of the binding at the right-hand side of the photo? That's the bobbin thread from stitching in the ditch of the Magic Binding flange.
Here's another view, also showing the lovely machine quilting by Ann Reinelt:
Nice, huh? Now, go forth and bind!

Reviews for "The timeless allure of black and white witch logos"
1. Sara - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Witch logo black and white". The design was very basic and lacked creativity. It looked like something that could easily be created using a free logo generator online. I was expecting more from a professional designer. The black and white color scheme was also quite uninspired and didn't make the logo stand out at all. Overall, I would not recommend this logo to anyone looking for something unique and eye-catching.
2. John - 3/5 stars - The "Witch logo black and white" was just okay in my opinion. It didn't really grab my attention and didn't have any wow factors. It seemed like a generic design that I could find anywhere. The black and white color scheme also felt a little dull and didn't make the logo pop. While it wasn't terrible, it certainly wasn't anything special either. I think there are better options out there for those looking for a more striking and memorable logo.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was quite underwhelmed by the "Witch logo black and white". The design lacked originality and didn't seem to capture the essence of a witch. It felt more like a generic silhouette rather than a unique and intriguing logo. The choice of black and white colors also made it feel very plain and uninteresting. I would have expected a more vibrant and visually appealing logo for something related to witches. Overall, I was disappointed with this design and would not recommend it to others.
