A logo is something that every business and company needs. Imagine what Coca-Cola would be without the famous scroll design or what would happen to McDonald’s without those famous golden arches. A good logo attracts the eye of potential customers and helps them remember your company in the future. Every time they see your logo, they’ll remember your company. You could hire an expensive firm to design a logo or you could design your own logo online.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet access
  • Credit card to purchase design
  1. Step 1

    Visit the Logo Yes website. This website has created logos for companies around the world and have appeared on television shows and in magazine articles. Click the Try it Free button on their homepage to launch their Logo Creator application, which opens in a new window.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the type of company you have from the three options they have available. High Tech, Bold and Flair are the three options you can choose from depending on the type of company you want to create a logo for. Select one of the options and wait for the new screen to load.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the specific type of industry from the options on the screen. Logo Yes offers hundreds of specific industries under each type of logo and you should be able to find one that describes your company and industry. Click the option to be taken to a new screen.

  4. Step 4

    Select the type of image you want associated with your logo. If you’re worried that your logo will look generic or just like hundreds of others, you can look for an image that has multiple variants and pick the type of image you like best from those shown.

  5. Step 5

    Type exactly what you want your logo to say in the box provided. The screen in the middle of the page shows what your logo will look like, giving you the option to customize the logo. You can also change the font by scrolling through the options to the right of the screen. Press the Next button when you’re finished.

  6. Step 6

    Adjust the logo by changing the color of your writing or the color of your image. Simply click on the individual feature and select the color from the right hand side of the screen. You can also adjust the size of the text or image by clicking on the screen and dragging the corners.

  7. Step 7

    Purchase the logo from the website by clicking on the Buy link. You can also design and buy matching business cards. The company will send you the finished design and hold a version on their server.

Tips & Warnings
  • Once you’ve designed a logo, you can use it for letterhead, business cards or promotional pieces like tee-shirts.
  • Click on any of the steps on the bottom of the screen to go back and make any changes that you want. Until you push the Buy button your logo can still be changed and altered.
