5 Free Logo Creation Tools
Having a well-designed logo is a must for any business. Not only does it speak volumes about your brand identity, but it can also help you attract customers and make your business memorable.
Although the ideal way to create a logo would be to hire a professional designer, for small businesses with limited time and resources, the do-it-yourself (DIY) route is the way to go. Online logo makers let small businesses create professional-looking logos on a small business budget, with no design experience required. Create a logo in minutes with these five online DIY logo-creation tools.
1. SQUARESPACE LOGO
DIY website builder Squarespace recently unveiled Squarespace Logo, a very basic drag-and-drop online logo-creation tool. Simply enter your company name and tagline, and then choose an icon that represents your brand — or keep it minimalistic with a text-only logo. Rearrange these elements, change fonts and colors as you see fit and then click Save Logo when you’re done. As you create your logo, you’ll be able to preview it on the bottom of the screen, where you can see in real time what the logo will look like on a business card, website or T-shirt.

Squarespace Logo is free to use. High-resolution logos are free for Squarespace customers and cost $10 for non-Squarespace customers. A watermarked, low-resolution logo is also available as a free download.
2. LOGOYES
LogoYes, a Web.com brand, lets businesses create eye-catching logos at a very small business-friendly price. Using LogoYes’ design wizard, the first step is to choose the art for your logo. Next, add your company name. Then, customize it via the Web-based design tool by rearranging items, selecting different fonts and colors, and adding other text, such as your slogan. LogoYes also offers users access to more than 20,000 design elements, simplifying the design process to make your logo all your own. Although Logo Yes retains the copyright, businesses that wish to trademark their logos can do so.
Logo Yes logos are very affordable — for only 99 cents, users receive a high-resolution logo that’s ready to use for business cards, print materials, on the Web and more. Supported file formats include EPS, JPEG, PNG, GIF, PDF and SVG.
