Create your own logo - the best programs
If you want to create your own logo, you need not only creativity, but also the right program. We present the best to you.
Design the logo with Google drawings
If you have a Google account, you have a suitable tool with which you can create your own logo:
- To do this, create a "Google drawing" on Google Drive. The program is no different from other design tools, but it is easy to use and you can use it anywhere.
- You can then create your own shapes or load pre-made shapes. With a little creativity, you can quickly create your own logo.
- "Google Drawings" is free. All you need is a Google account:
Create your own logo with Canva
On the "canva.com" page you can choose from a huge range of already existing elements. The service is free as long as you don't need any special forms.
- Thanks to various layouts, you can also create your logo for various social media channels. Or you determine the aspect ratio yourself.
- Canva has a huge repertoire of different logos and images. If you arrange them cleverly and use your own text and individual colors, your logo will be unique.
- The operation of Canva is simple and only requires a short training period. In principle you can use the program free of charge, but you have to buy special symbols and logos.
Work professionally with InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop
You can also create logos with the Adobe programs "InDesign", "Illustrator" and "Photoshop". Here you need some experience.
- Dealing with the programs takes some practice. For this you get a very professional environment with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
- However, you do not have to own each of the three programs. For example, the vector-based Illustrator is sufficient for a logo. The training period is still high.
- The costs are different. With the Adobe Creative Cloud you have access to all tools with a subscription of 59.49 euros per month.
In our practical tips we also show you how to create a business card with InDesign or how to use a graphics tablet.
