DesignEvo Review – A Free Online Logo Maker

We’re used to seeing logos for all the leading companies but how do you get a logo if you’re just starting. Well, basically you have 2 choices either hire a designer or do it yourself.

Most of us are strapped for cash when we start so that leaves the alternative of doing it yourself. Luckily there are a few logo makers around.

In this article, I will be looking at DesignEvo, a new logo maker. I found it very easy to use and there’s a free version so it could be very useful if you’re just getting started.

Do You Need A Logo? 

If you’re starting an offline business a logo isn’t the first thing you need to think about. The most important thing is to get clients and run your business.

The job of the logo is to connect people to a brand. But if you have no customers there is nothing for people to associate with. In the past, I have had a couple of successful offline businesses and never had a logo but today things have changed.

We see logos everywhere! They are part of our everyday life and they may influence our decisions.

A logo can be used

• online – on your website, on your social media platforms, on emails…
• offline on clothing, on your vehicles, on business cards, on stationery…

For an online or offline business, a logo can help with branding, it can make your business more memorable for your visitors. So it is important but at the same time, it should be simple, appropriate and memorable.

Take a look at some of the best-known companies Mcdonalds, Apple or Google. They use simple designs that are easily reproduced. The Google logo is even simpler and is a wordmark logo.

Now let’s take a look at some successful blogs like Smart Passive Income, WP Beginner, and Melyssa Griffin. Their logos are also very simple.

If these successful companies or bloggers use simple logos it must be the right way to go!

Why You Should Make Your Logo Simple

What’s easier to remember a complicated long sentence or a short sentence that contains just one fact? It’s the same with a logo.  A simple logo will be easier to remember as it has fewer details and you will be more likely to recall it when you see it again.

You may start with a complicated design but you should end up with a simpler version that only has the bare essentials. Your logo should be capable of bringing your brand to someone’s attention quickly and easily.

It’s important to think of your logo as a tool that will enable your business, product or service to be identified.

A logo can also be used across different mediums on the web or on paper. A simple logo will resize better than a complicated logo. A complicated logo will lose details when it’s scaled down and may not be recognized. A simple logo can be scaled down without affecting the image.

This can be important for a website as the logo can often be used as the favicon icon which is the small image you see in the address bar of your web browser. Users can find your website at a glance in a list of other sites.

Now we know a little about the sort of logo we should create, let’s look at the DesignEvo logo maker.
