Want Your Own Logo Design Studio ? It's Easy! (Marc Sylvester)
Feb 23, 2010
Every so often it's a good idea to add fresh graphics to your publication, blog or website. When I went looking for a new logo for my newsletter, I was shocked by how much a designer wanted to charge. With only a small budget, I simply needed to create a small header logo that I could post onto my website and newsletter.
I searched all over the web and looked at the design sites of over two-dozen professional logo-design firms but found nothing even remotely appealing. The built-in graphics tools from such software products like Word or Publisher just didn't cut it.
What I found, however, was the realization that I could technically be my OWN design studio ...with the help of a 3 or four different software products! I could download products like a logo design creator, a business card tool and perhaps some animated logo creation software. And I found the cost to be FAR less than what a designer would charge me.
With the help of these tools, I was able to produce what I needed in about 90 minutes and I was able to get back to work on my newsletter.
These software products offer me different look and feel from the clipart that comes with programs like Word. They contain Nice looking images like large colorful Orbs or unique fonts. Some of these software products allow you to select a template as a "jump off point and experiment with placement and color. You can adjust and move the images on the canvas anyway you like. You can replace the template text with your own! The sky's the limit.
Sometimes, I actually do use a Word template to get my ideas on paper. But when it comes to a blank PhotoShop canvas I glaze over. Software like The Logo Creator is perfect. I get a "jump off" point to get my brain working.
When you're ready to publish your graphics file, most of these tools can create JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and EPS files (among other formats).
The software is inexpensive, especially compared to what a professional service would charge you, and the results are impressive. Most of them are easy to use -- you may even find experimenting with the designs addictive. The templates offer a good variety of themes and basic designs. There's also enough flexibility to let you create logos for clients! Start your own logo design service.
I'm enthusiastic about these programs, and I'd encourage you to download them and play around with some of the features. Creating quick graphics for your newsletter or blog is SO easy. Doing it yourself is quicker, you have more control, and it's far less expensive when you simply need a page header or a blog image.
