So, your business or a side hustle needs a fresh beautiful logo and you want to at least try to create it on your own? Props to you, because it\u2019s both smart and cost-effective! To make the whole process easier<\/span> we\u2019ll go together step-by-step to reveal all the secrets<\/span> and tricks you can use to make your self-made logo look as fabulous as if it was designed by the most luxurious agency. And we promise, it\u2019s super fun! Maybe after trying this guide out you\u2019ll turn a logo design into a hobby of yours. Who knows… So let\u2019s get to it! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1<\/b><\/p>\n

Jump into our\u00a0<\/span>homepage<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and click the \u201cGet started\u201d button on top of it. It\u2019s big and blue, we took care that no one can miss it. \u00a0One click and you\u2019ll be redirected to the multifunctional logo generator. This is the page where you can browse through thousands of templates and pick one (or several of them) that actually fit your vision and design preferences<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take your time, you\u2019re in the land of beautiful logos! <\/span>Enter your company\u2019s name or a brand name in the field on top of the page. All of the templates in the search results will now have it and you\u2019ll be able to see how the brand name looks on a certain design. <\/span><\/p>\n

Try different fonts (from classic serifs to avantgarde decorative typefaces) and don\u2019t stop until you\u2019re 100% happy with what you see on the screen. Don\u2019t worry, LogotypeMaker has a lot of tricks up its sleeve and will not disappoint you. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please, note:<\/b><\/em> The field is register sensitive. Use Caps Lo\u0441k to get the company name in capital letters. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2<\/b><\/p>\n

If you feel lost in this deep sea of stunning logos, you can search for the perfect template using one of the following methods:<\/span><\/p>\n

Select the preferred category in the list on the left corner of the page. LogotypeMaker has 36 of them for every business industry and design concept<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click \u201cGenerate more logos\u201d. Each click will show you more designs to choose from. Repeat until something great catches your eye. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please, note<\/b><\/em>:<\/em> You can use the \u201cGenerate more logos\u201d button both within the specific category and to browse through the whole gallery. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several search options will make the template selection easier and quicker. Let\u2019s say you need a vegetable store logo. So instead of looking through thousands of designs that don\u2019t match your business needs you can jump right into the \u201cNature and Ecology\u201d category and find a nice template that suits your brand in a matter of minutes. And the keyword search is perfect for those who know exactly what type of logo they\u2019re looking for (e.g. a bio logo). <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3<\/b><\/p>\n

Change the background color of the templates using the paint bucket button in the left menu. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve suddenly changed your mind and want a different color or a transparent background file, you can always change it back in the logo editor even if you\u2019ve already downloaded the final design. And it\u2019s free! Can you imagine?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4<\/b><\/p>\n

Add the templates that appeal to you to your personal wish list. Hover over the logo and click \u201cAdd to wish list\u201d. It\u2019s as simple as that! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Please, note<\/b><\/em>:<\/em> All the logos you\u2019ve added to the wish list will show up in the special list. You can scroll through it and add\/delete templates anytime you want. We do not going to limit your creativity, so you can add as many logos as you need. Even if it\u2019s 500, 1000 or 10 000! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5 <\/b><\/p>\n

When you have finally chosen a template that you truly enjoy, it\u2019s time to edit! Hover over the logo and click \u201cEdit\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

See, the first editing step is so easy even a baby can do it. The rest of the process won\u2019t be harder, mark our words. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 6<\/b><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve clicked the \u201cEdit\u201d button, in a second you\u2019ll find yourself within online logo editor<\/em>. This is your canvas where you can customize the logo and make it unique, make it yours. The great thing about this editor is that it allows you to change every tiny aspect of the design: color, shape, font, graphic effects etc. So, don\u2019t be afraid to experiment!<\/span><\/p>\n

Please, note<\/b><\/em>:<\/em> You can always replace the template with a new one in the \u201cGallery\u201d tab. You can search for the new design by the category or by browsing through the whole gallery. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 7<\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid of doing something wrong and messing up the whole design. Our editor got your back! You can undo or redo every single step in your design journey. Just use the buttons on the left of the page. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These buttons have no limit for e.g. \u201c3 previous steps\u201d. You can cancel basically all the changes you\u2019ve made and then bring them all back. Your artistry is safe with us. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 8<\/b><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with changing the text to make the company name pop! It\u2019s super simple, you know. Just click on the text you\u2019d like to change and pick the most beautiful font from the dropdown list. It\u2019s quite large, so you may need some time to pick your winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Please, note<\/b><\/em>:<\/em> If you want to change the text, you can do it by editing or entering the new text in the field above the fonts list. \u00a0Let\u2019s add the second text row \u201copen every day\u201d to the current company name.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 9 <\/b><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s an extra word you need to remove or a text you\u2019d like to copy, you can do it with one click! Right above the \u00a0text input field you\u2019ll find five cute icon buttons. They are (left to right): Duplicate, Visible, Layer up, Layer down, and Delete. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To make things work just click on the text and press the icon button. That\u2019s it! And if you\u2019ve somehow pressed the wrong one, always remember about the magical \u201cRedo\u201d feature, it will fix the things up immediately. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please, note:<\/strong><\/em> you can change the placement of the text just by dragging it. Let\u2019s put the \u201cVegetable\u201d on the top and the \u201cMarket\u201d on the right of the logo. And, of course,\u201cGrab & Drag\u201d works not only for text but for every element, every layer, every piece of the logo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 10<\/b><\/p>\n

Who says the text can be only one color? Let\u2019s break that rule right now! Go ahead and experiment with the advanced color options in our logo editor. \u201cLinear\u201d, for instance, creates a beautiful gradient. And you can either set the colors yourself or click the \u201cRandom\u201d button a few times and see what the artificial intelligence has to offer. Yes, the AI choices may be unexpected but they\u2019re beautiful. And it\u2019s so fun just to quickly click the button and watch all the colors of the rainbow flashing before your eyes! \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To choose the color duo for a gradient just click on a color drop on the left and select the preferred hue. Repeat for the color drop on the right.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Please, note:<\/strong><\/em> Different color angles can change the direction of the gradient. Try changing the angle to come up with something stunning. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 11<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, when the colors are all set, let\u2019s give our text some edge. On the bottom of the menu you\u2019ll see options like \u201cDrop Shadow\u201d and \u201cInner Shadow\u201d. Try them on your text (remember, you can always undo the changes you don\u2019t like). <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cInner Shadow\u201d, for instance, is great for adding some volume to the text. Turn on the \u201cInner Shadow\u201d switcher and click on the \u201cAdjust\u201d menu that will show up. <\/span><\/p>\n

Move the \u201cOpacity\u201d and \u201cBlur\u201d sliders and check how the color changes. For example, if you want the hues to be darker, move the \u201cOpacity\u201d to the right. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If during some time you can\u2019t really tell the difference between the latest changes, click \u201cUndo\/Redo\u201d several times and watch the logo change. That really helps to determine whether you\u2019re moving in the right direction. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 12<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s time to customize the picture itself to make your logo truly unique. Choose the \u201cLogo\u201d tab in the menu on the right and you\u2019ll see all the options available for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Again, don\u2019t fear all those sliders and buttons. They are not as scary and complicated as they seem. Actually, moving all those sliders and changing all those numbers is quite thrilling. <\/span><\/p>\n

Please, note<\/i><\/b>: Every element of the logo has a separate layer and you can customize each part of the design switching from one layer to another just by clicking on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, in our \u201cVegetable Market\u201d logo the leaves are Layer 1-3 and the green circle is Layer 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 13<\/b><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s change the color of the cat and add the extra to the design by inserting a suitable clipart. The color change process is identical to the one you\u2019ve already tried for the text section. So, you\u2019re already can call yourself a logo creation master. And to insert a clipart click on the \u201cGallery\u201d tab and then on the \u201cAdd clipart\u201d button on the top. After that just select the image you think will work for your logo. <\/span><\/p>\n

As we\u2019re making a \u201cVegetable Market\u201d logo, let\u2019s add a vegetable icon to our design. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 14<\/b><\/p>\n

As you can see, the chosen clipart will show up on the side of your canvas. The new layer will be added on the \u201cLogo\u201d menu so you could customize the clipart just like all the other design pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s change the color of the carrot. Cool and easy, isn\u2019t it? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 15<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re almost done! Now you can check how your logo design looks on different backgrounds. Choose the \u201cSettings\u201d tab in the menu on the left and pick the background. It can be transparent, solid color, linear or radiant gradient. <\/span><\/p>\n

Please, note:<\/b><\/em> You can also incorporate pictures or cliparts from your computer into the design. Just use the \u201cUploads\u201d button for that. You can even experiment with your own photos if you\u2019re feeling extra artsy. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s about it! As you can see, just 15 simple steps are between you and your dream logo design. You can create your own logo. It\u2019s not a rocket science, really. And it will look just as amazing and brilliant as the logos pricey agencies design. Remember, you have all the talents and creativity to do it right. And if you ever need help or a professional advice, we will be there for you 24\/7. So hit that \u00a0\u201cGet started\u201d button and just go for it!
