Most entrepreneurs, businesses, agencies, and other organizations create a logo in one of four ways: by running a design contest, hiring a design agency, working directly with a freelance designer, or making their own with an online logo maker.

Each of these options to create a logo has advantages and disadvantages.

Although you don’t need design skills, a free logo maker gives you generic, template-based designs that looks like thousands of other designs. Agencies and freelancers can be very expensive and you get little choice when using their design services.

The truth is that there isn’t a best logo creator or logo maker for logo design. A logo creator or logo maker with its generic templates will not leave a lasting impression on your customers and prospective customers. A logo maker and logo creator work by picking random pieces from pre-drawn templates. And, even if they let you customize your logo in minor ways, a logo maker, logo generator, or logo creator will not give you a one-of-a-kind brand identity. There’s nothing unique, custom or brilliant about instant logos created using a logo maker and their generic templates. And it doesn’t matter whether you create them yourself from templates or if an AI computer creates it for you. In the long term, logo creation using generic design is bad for business. And, importantly, you won’t be able to trademark a generic design. Instead, invest in your business and your brand identity by working with professional designers to create a unique, custom business logo design.

Like everything, there’s a big price range when it comes to custom logo design and design services. If you don’t care about building a strong brand, you can get a generic, uninspiring free logo design from a online logo maker or a designer willing to give you a template design for $5. Experienced freelancers typically charge $1,000 to $5,000 for a custom logo design. Well known freelancers and small design studios will often charge $5,000 to $15,000 for custom logo design. Mid-size agencies will typically charge $5,000 to $50,000+ for custom logo design services. Read this comprehensive guide for a full breakdown on how much should a logo cost.

There are many important factors in a successful logo. Here are the most important design tips to create a successful logo.

A logo should be flexible. There are so many mediums in which your logo will be employed: digital, print, physical products... it’s important that your logo looks great when used in each because your brand identity will ultimately help you grow your business.

If your company uses a logo that solely relies on color, your logo will lose it’s effect when it’s in black and white. Similarly, if your company intends to only use your logo in a specific way (such as on a web design, marketing materials, signage, shirts, letterhead, stationery, custom t-shirts, decals, or business cards), then size may not matter much.

The most successful logos are flexible enough that they don’t get lost when changing sizes, backgrounds, or mediums.

A logo should also be simple. The distinction between an overly simplistic design and a minimalist design is an important one. Overly simplistic, generic designs should be avoided, as they tend toward being overused, overdone, and not at all memorable. Minimalist designs, on the other hand, are popular for good reason. They are eye-catching, memorable, and timeless, but still function as creative pieces.

One reason for minimal design’s broad-based appeal? Any business can incorporate a minimal look into their existing design scheme! If you find that your existing brand is tired and out of touch, maybe it’s time to take a look at what other businesses are doing with minimalist design on crowdspring.

A logo should be memorable. The most memorable logos - like Nike, Apple, Coca-Cola and Target - have key characteristics in common with each other. These logos are all clean, memorable, and foster positive brand associations for their customers. Consumers are more likely to associate positive attributes to logos that incorporate memorable design elements, and find brands with these characteristics in their logos to be attractive, trustworthy, and respectable. Those are qualities worth remembering!

A logo should be timeless. A great logo walks the line between timelessness and trendiness: designing a logo that is both can be a challenge. A logo that’s unique, attractive, and adeptly communicates your brand values requires an understanding of the current design trends and the skill to use them to your best advantage.

The best way to get a logo that does all of these things well is to work with a professional logo designer. They’ll recommend the right type of logo design and suggest appropriate colors, shapes and fonts that create a strong brand identity and communicate the message you want to send to customers and prospective customers.

Here at crowdspring, we have hundreds of thousands of designers equipped with the knowledge of current design trends, and the ability to incorporate them into a logo that is modern, relevant, but still timeless.

A logo should be unique. A unique logo design can be the difference between blending in and standing out from the competition. Generic logos have become extremely problematic. That’s why in the long run, a free logo will end up costing you much more in brand value and confusion than paying a few hundred dollars for a professional designed one.

The epidemic of too-similar fonts, glyphs, and swishy people leaves a weak first impression on customers and is unmemorable. Even though some of these generic logos may help a person identify the industry itself, generic logos also detract from the originality and story of your specific company. Generic logos even break the core elements of good logo design: memorable and unique, making them poor choices for any company.

The computers used by a typical free logo maker or logo creator to create a free logo don’t understand how people think and give you generic, uninspiring templates. Templates can make a logo, but they cannot create a professional logo. If you want professional logo design, work with real people - designers who understand human psychology and who can help you create a unique logo for your company or organization.

Logo design contests are simple, effective, and affordable.

Good logos are not just about creative illustrations and drawings! Many companies use typography in their logos either instead of or in addition to images and symbols.

When incorporating words or phrases, logos often play with the font, style, size, and even letter spacing. Some logos include the company’s full name, while some just include an initial. Some don’t include any letters or words at all, but traditionally use a specific text style for those elements. Either way, typography is essential to making the words behind your company work well with the other graphic elements of the logo. Can it be read at small sizes? Is the letter-spacing or word spacing well adjusted? Typography is a craft in itself - it's the first voice of stating who you are.

Is your logo going to be printed on paper? Business cards? Billboards? Physical products? Today, there are a lot of mediums and sizes and our logos have to perform well across all mediums. Therefore it’s important to consider where and how your logo will be displayed so that you can specify colors and file formats. At crowdspring, we have you covered by making sure you receive vectorized logo designs, which are useful in any medium.

You should always request vector based graphics. It's often tempting to ask for complex illustrations in a logo. However, unless you plan on never using your logo outside of an on-screen/online application, a JPG or PSD isn't going to cut it. A properly drawn vector design will provide you with the ultimate flexibility.

Instead of copying or mimicking famous logos, the best designers look to create a unique brand identity. The breakthrough designs they create often come from the deeper meanings they find within the company, which is the reason why so many companies have logo origin stories or hidden meanings.

The secret is to uncover that deeper or hidden meaning before designing the logo. A unique logo design will stem organically from whatever makes your company unique.
