When you’re putting together a blog, a logo puts trust in you as it gives you a much more professional touch. Fortunately, there are many logo design services to choose from. In this review we’re going to go over six of the best logo design services around. Whether you’re looking for a custom logo design company or logo software, I’m going to show you where to go in order get an amazing logo.
Unless you feel very confident in your own graphic design capabilities, I suggest outsourcing this task to a company that specializes in logo design services. Fortunately, there are lots of great places to go in order to create a great logo for your blog. But I’m only going to give you three options int his very short list. These are the three best options, in my opinion. Here are a few things to think about when coming up with your idea for the perfect logo.
Choose A Color Scheme
What colors do you want your logo to be? This kind of information is going to help your graphic designer come up with a logo that will fit your needs. If you have a particular color in mind, a good idea is to put that color into Adobe Color. This program will help you find the perfect combination of colors. Also, it should go without saying, do make sure your website theme colors match your logo colors.
Examples Please
From my past experience, most logo designers want you to share examples with them. I can see why. This is probably one of the best ways for them to clearly determine what you are looking for. So before hiring a designer do some research. Find some logos that you like. Now go ahead and share those logos with your designer letting him/her know what it is you like about that particular logo and how they might be able to implement it into your logo.
If you have a detailed image in your head of how the logo should look then share that with your designer. Conversely, you can give them just enough direction where they can then let their artistic mind come up with something clever and original. Remember, most graphic designers are happy to do some revisions for you. I know I’ve asked for minor revisions a number of times and have never experienced any push back. Also, remember that most graphic designers will come up with more than one design for you. This will help you determine which one is the winner.
So without further ado, let’s look at the best places to go for logo design.
Fiverr
Fiverr is a very popular micro-task site and still at the top of this list. It’s actually the world’s largest marketplace for micro-tasks ($5 services). This means there are, literally, thousands of freelancers on Fiverr. To make things better, logo design is one of the most popular gigs on Fiverr. So should you expect to only pay $5 for a logo on Fiverr? Possibly. But from my experience, no. You may pay anywhere from $5 – $200+.
The best advice that I can give you for shopping for logos on Fiverr is to look at each sellers portfolio of logo designs and user reviews. I’ve ordered logos from Fiverr in the past and have been satisfied every time.
Last thing, worth noting is in regards to copyright. The question is “Do you own what is delivered to you?” Basically, this means, do you own the copyright of the logo once it’s transferred over to you? The short answer to that is, unless clearly stated otherwise in the gig description text, when the work is delivered, the buyer is granted all intellectual property rights. So make sure to check the gig description text. Some buyer’s may want you to pay an extra fee in order to transfer the copyright.
TailorBrands.com
Tailor Brands allows you to design a logo on the spot. Not to worry, you don’t have to be artistic, what-so-ever, to create a professional looking logo with them.

Based off that information their robots will analyze the information you gave them and then output many original designs. Now just pick the one you like the best.
Overall, I like TailorBrands. I tried the service out personally and was impressed with the results it gave me. It seems to me like their logo design wizard is what really sets them apart. I would like to see more information from TailorBrands as to how it works that helps to make it unique. I feel this would help their customers to better understand the power behind it.
Ask a Friend
If you’re on social media, such as Facebook, you can try reaching out to your friends asking them if any of them are graphic designers or know of one who can help you to design a logo. The nice thing about this is that you help out a friend to make some income and stimulate your local enconomy.
