When starting a business one of the most important things to spend time on is deciding what the logo will be. The logo of any company is the subconscious image that gets ingrained into the consumers’ mind and so it is important that it is the best version of the image you see in your own mind. Designing and publishing a professional logo can be expensive and so in this article, we will be discussing the ways to streamline your logo design process if you are on a budget because some consulting logo companies will charge you more than you should be paying for similar services.
How to Stream Your Logo Design Process on a Budget
Consulting logo design companies are there for people who have a fairly large budget to spend on branding and marketing for their business. They may have gotten a loan or brought in a wealthy partner who is helping them jump-start the venture, but what about those who are on a budget? Below are a few options for you if this is the case and you want to save money, but still, have a fairly professional logo design:
- Canva
- Logomakr
- Free Logo Design
- Design Mantic
- Fiverr
By far the best free logo design website out there that we have seen is Canva. Not only are you able to design, download, and own the rights to your logo, but you can also design any other piece of marketing material for your business. Canva was designed and backed by successful entrepreneurs such as Guy Kawasaki, who understand that when an entrepreneur is just starting out there’s no money to spend on paying others to create marketing material or logos.
The next three logo design websites are also free, but it may take a few tries before you get a hang of their user interface. Logomakr, Free Logo Design, and Design Mantic will be a great start to your logo design and don’t worry, we’ve used them in the past as well. Finally, if you do have a limited budget and don’t want to spend the time on building a logo yourself then the other alternative is to find an inexpensive logo designer on Fiverr. As the company’s name states, Fiverr was created to allow people to purchase items for their businesses for $5 but as the demand grew freelancers began to charge more because the website also takes a percentage of each transaction. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to find what you need for a fairly inexpensive amount with professional logos starting around $20 to $35 with multiple revisions.
Conclusion
In conclusion, in this article, we discussed some of the ways in which you can streamline your business’ logo design process. We understand that it is tough as a starting entrepreneur to be able to pay thousands of dollars to have a great logo. That is why we listed websites like Canva, Logomakr, and Fiverr. Canva and Logomakr offer free logo design features, but Logomakr will end up charging you if you want to have access to the logo outside of their platform. If you’re looking to not pay anything at all, use Canva, and if you have a limited budget, look for logo designers on Fiverr.
I don’t really know about creating my own logo. How easy is that? I just hope I can actually do something nice and still enjoy it while working on it.
