If you want to create your own logo, then you can do so by using any simple image editing program. And if you don’t have access to an image or photo editing program then you can download and use a free, high quality, image editing program such as GIMP, Photoscape, Paint.NET, Serif PhotoPlus or Photo Pos Pro, all of which can be downloaded online and for free. 

Then you can begin to experiment with font types, font size and graphic icons to see which ones look better with different icons, images and colors as well. And if you’re not sure as to what a good logo design looks like then you can find tons of good examples to look at by visiting logo design websites or by performing a search on Google images for the keyword “logo”.

Then when you’re ready to create the actual logo, simply open a new blank image palette from within your image editing program and type in the name of your business with the fonts of your choice. If your computer does not have the proper fonts installed to fit the style of your logo then you can find and download some free fonts from the following websites:

www.1001freefonts.com
www.searchfreefonts.com
www.acidfonts.com

After you’ve typed in your business name with the fonts of your choice, then you can leave it at that or add a special effect to the fonts such as a drop shadow, 3D, fade, blend or glow effect:

​You can also change the size of the first set of fonts to differentiate from the second set of fonts as well. You can arrange the words in your business name to be side by side or one on top of the other:

​Then you can insert and place a graphic icon or an image which represents your niche market right next to your business name:

You can keep experimenting with your logo design until you’ve reached the desired results. And you can find plenty of graphic icons and images by searching on Google images for the search words free logos, free logo icons, free logo templates and free icons for the products you’re selling as well, i.e. book icons, computer icons, software icons, etc…

It’s not that difficult to create your own logo and you can do so with a little bit of time and patience and an image editing software program.
​

You can also create your logo with a free logo creator or generator program as well. Simply go to Google.com and type in the words “free logo creator”, “free logo generator”, or “free logo maker” and then click search.

If you simply don’t have the time to build and design your own logo from scratch or with logo creation software then you can always hire a professional logo designer to build your logo for you.

You can save time and money when hiring a professional. And a complete logo package can cost anywhere from $49 to $149 or more and can be designed, finished and delivered within 3 to 5 business days or less.

The first thing you might want to do before selecting a professional to design your logo will be to check out their website and look for past logo work they’ve done for other clients.

These are called portfolios and most professional graphic designers will have a portfolio where you can see their work for past clients. Most if not all of their logos should be professionally made with the right fonts, icons and color schemes as well.

Client testimonies are just as important. Testimonies indicate that their work and expertise was valued and approved by many customers. And a client testimony will not only speak for their work, but will also speak for the experience the client had while working with the designer as well.

Communication is also important. The designer should be available for communication during normal business hours by phone, email or instant messaging and response time should be adequate. Tell them what you want, how you want it and let them do the rest.
