Hiring a professional designer to create your company’s logo can take a considerable toll on your wallet. This can be a problem especially if you are starting out with a site for the first time and do not have a big budget. All the designer does really is figure out what you want and build up a design accordingly from the ones already in his mind. Now what if you could do that yourself without having to pay anybody anything? Logo Snap makes that possible.

Logo Snap is a website that provides logo-creation services to its visitors. There are two plans which you can use: the free and the paid. The paid version is the same as the designer option – the site will create a custom design for you. But the free option is what you will be interested in – this is what lets you create brilliant logos with ease.

You start out by creating an account on Logo Snap. After you have created an account and activated it, log in with it.

From then on, the first step in logo creation is selecting your profession. You can do this by selecting any one of the combinations presented or you can use the search bar to find your profession.

(For this example, we will assume the profession is music-related.)

After selecting your profession you are presented with a list of images. The range and number of images is impressive and is related to the profession you selected. Under the “music” category of professions, 251 images are shown.

When you select your image, you can proceed to customize it according to your logo. The customization panel shows your logo canvas on the left:

And your customization controls on the right:

You can use these controls in a number of ways: you can edit colors, add different types of text, and then manipulate that text. When you are done, you click on the “Finalize Logo” button under the logo canvas.

Here is the simple logo I created using Logo Snap’s easy tools:

The site also has a gallery which showcases what other people have drawn using the site’s logo creation tools.

Its crap like this that is ruining the graphic design community of professionals. As if the economy isn’t bad enough, we have logo mills like this pumping out sub-par stuff for people, devaluing the entire artform. Now I have to struggle even more to convince my clients why they should pay me a grand to make a logo for them rather than going to a website like this one.
Thanks a lot…

Tried it, went to finalize my design, got an “oops, there was an error, please click the back button and try again” message, clicked the back button, and my design was GONE.

Luckily I’d only spent a couple of minutes playing around, but this is a bug they need to fix ASAP.

As for Frustrated Designer, unless your logos are demonstrably worth a grand in light of cheaper alternatives, then your complaints amount to “these automobiles are making it harder for me to sell buggy whips.”

It’s programmes like this that mean i have to see substandard crap all over the place!

Love logosnap. Wish it were less buggy, but I love my logo. I made a donation. Why would I pay a designer? If I don’t know why I should pay for a designer, then designers need to do a better job getting the word out that they are worth the grand they “lose” to places like logosnap. It’s not the client’s fault for not conjuring up a value proposition for designers. Whining in comments isn’t a good way to get that job done! Instead I just feel like I saved myself $1000! Woot! ($1000?!) Methinks designers doth protest too much…
