You want a logo for your website. Maybe you can’t afford a professional designer, but you’re worried that you don’t know enough about graphic Design to do the job. Your logo is an essential part of the identity of your brand.
You want it to look good and show who your brand is and what it stands for. In this beginner guide, we’ll figure out how to make a logo for your website. We’ll talk about a few different options, so you can choose the one that works best for you.
To make a custom logo for your website, you need to know something about Design. But if you are starting, you can ensure your logo looks polished and professional by following these best practices.
You can try different logo styles to see which goes best with your website or brand. There are different kinds of logos that businesses often use. You might want to try out some of these when making your logo.
If you want to make your logo, you need to be honest about how good you are at Design. It might seem easy to use a wordmark, but it has to be unique. You can register your logo as a trademark if you need to. You can also make a logo by drawing an icon. You’ll need strong design skills to develop a unique idea for your brand image.
We use a mix of both wordmarks and icons for our brands. For instance, the logo of our sister company OptinMonster has a mascot on a wordmark. Let’s look at a few ways to make logos for your websites that look like they were made by professionals (without hiring a designer).
Constant Contact’s Logo Maker can make your logo in many different ways. It’s free of charge. You don’t have to pay to use it or to save the logo you make.
To start, click the “Create Your Free Logo” button:
Next, type in the name of your brand. You can add a slogan if you require it to. You will see six examples of logos from which to choose.
What if none of these logos appeal to you? Click the “More” button to visit more choices. You can do this as numerous times as you like. Click on a logo you like once you’ve found it.
The logo editor will then be shown to you. On the right side of the screen, you can see different versions of your logo, which is a great feature. If you like one of these, click on it to stack it into the editor.
You can change the letter distance, font size, and line height in the “Name” section of the editor. If your logo has two or extra words, you can use the “Multiline” toggle to separate them onto different lines.
Here is our logo again, but the font size is smaller, and the letters are farther apart this time. Click on the tabs along the right side to change other parts of your logo. For example, click on “Symbol” to change how big and where the logo’s symbol is.
We thought a slogan would look good with how the logo was laid out, so we added one under the “Slogan” tab. You can also change the colors of your logo with the editor. The logo maker will make a color palette for you automatically, and you’ll be able to choose from a few different ones.
If you want to see more color schemes, click “Explore color themes” to choose from different sets. Click the “Preview” push button at the top of the screen once you’re happy with your logo. You’ll see how your logo could look on your website, social media, business cards, t-shirts, mugs, and more.
Click the X in the top bar to close the preview. Use the “Download” button in the top right corner of the screen to get your logo. It’s free of charge. You will get an a.zip file with your logo in both PNG and SVG formats. An SVG can be made as big as you want without losing its quality. We show you how to add an SVG file to WordPress.
The Logo Maker from Tailor Brands is simple and easy to use. It’s free to use, but you’ll have to pay to get the logo you make. You can pay as little as $9.99. Go to the Tailor Brands logo maker and type in your business name to start. Then click on the button that says Design!
You will be asked to put in your industry and, if you want, a short description of your business. We chose Human Resources for this one. The next step is to decide what kind of logo you want. You can only choose one option, but you can always start the logo maker over if you try something different.
If you choose “Icon-Based” here, the following screen will ask you to select an icon. The options you see will depend on what industry you work in, but you can change this with the search box.
When you find an icon you like, press on it and then click Next. Then, you’ll be asked to pick your favorite image from a list of different fonts. This is the first step if you make a logo based on your name or initials.
Every time, click on the font you want. After you finish this step, you’ll see a short animation while your logo is being made. The next thing you’ll notice is your logo. You can click “Love it” to go to the pricing plans, “Customize” to start making changes or scroll down on the right side to see more logo options.
If you decide to change your logo, you can pick various styles, fonts, layouts, and other options. You can also choose a different icon than the one you chose before.
We changed how our logo looked so that the picture was on the left and the text was on the right. We also changed the logo’s color scheme to purple-blue. When satisfied with your logo, click the “Finish” button. Then, you’ll be taken to the pricing page, where you’ll see various pricing plans.
Not only do these plans give you access to your logo, but they also give you access to tools for graphic Design and making websites. They could be a good choice if you want access to stuff like stock photos.
Click the “1 Month” tab and choose the “Basic” plan if you want the logo. You have to pay once, and then you can keep your logo. After that, you can stop the plan right away.
