2. Choose a Type of Logo Design, Industry, Font, and Color Scheme
When designing your logo, you’ll have to choose between having a logo with a graphic or having a text-only logo.
Option 1: Graphic
A graphic logo incorporates a relevant image into your design as well as stylized text.
Select your industry from the dropdown and choose your favorite font style and color palette to generate your first set of logo design choices. Our generator will come up with logo choices from a wide variety of tailored graphics.
Option 2: Text
This type of logo displays your business name or the initials of your business name in a stylized way using creative fonts and typography.
Much like the graphic logo generator, you’ll choose an industry, font style, and color palette. This will then generate your logo design choices.
3. Generate Logo Design Options
After you generate a logo, you can download your favorite one(s) and use it at no cost. You can even generate multiple logo design options and download them all for free if you want to test out a couple of designs. Our generator creates many options to choose from, so feel free to search through our numerous designs and explore!
4. Customize Your Logo Design
Once you find a logo design that you like, you can customize it further by changing the font and color. If you aren’t happy with the changes you made to your logo, there is a reset button so that you never lose your original design.

5. Download Your Logo Design
Now that your logo design is customized, you can move to the final step: downloading your logo. We make it hassle-free with no email requirements and no sign-ups of any kind — simply download your logo, and you’re done!
Our logo maker will provide you with a high-resolution logo design in a scalable vector graphic (SVG) file format. This file format is the best for logos because it is easily editable and can be resized as small or as large as you need without losing any quality.
Our logo designs also come ready for all social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Google, and more.
6. Make Sure Your Logo Is Unique
Now that you have decided on your favorite logo design for your business, you should conduct a trademark search to ensure that your logo design is different from other brands. This step will ensure that your logo design is unique to your business and that once trademarked, no one will be able to use it.
If you want to learn more about how to trademark your professional logo and ensure its availability, you can read our article on How to Trademark Your Business Brand.
Make sure to confirm that your new logo is completely unique by taking the following steps:
- Perform a reverse image search on Google.
- Formally conduct a trademark search using a lawyer specialized in trademarks.
7. Bring Your Logo to Life
Once you’ve generated your logo design, it is yours to keep and use for promotional materials.
We recommend using a service like Zazzle, which provides quality printing services for a variety of materials such as business cards, flyers, banners, letterheads, and more. You can even choose to have your logo design presented on products, apparel, and retail packaging.
Our logo designs can also be utilized for business branding, social media (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Google, etc.), and more.
If you already have a logo, you can also add it to a QR code with our Free QR Code Generator. Choose from 13 QR code types to create a code for your business cards and publications, or to help spread awareness for your new website.
