Value for Money
It’s important to understand something. Fiverr’s logo maker is a template-based system. It has some built-in artificial intelligence features to help give your logo design a bit of personality and ensure that it complies with your design and industry preferences. But it is still template-based at its heart.
Now, if you’re looking for a top of the line, crisp, stop the presses logo design, this is not the tool for you. If you have the money to spend on big price ticket logo designers, then you’ll certainly get more professional quality designs.
But if you’re looking for something that is cheap, easy, and fast, you can’t get better than the Fiverr logo maker. In terms of value for money, Fiverr has definitely done a great job. For less than people spend on a business lunch, you’ll receive an attractive logo design. And it will probably take you under an hour. Remember, time is money. So this tool is definitely a budget-friendly SMB’s top choice.
Portfolio/Experience
The Fiverr logo maker is a template-based model. Meaning, there are no designers sitting there sketching out your logo design. So experience and portfolios don’t really come into play. That being said, the logo maker is based on designs made by real, professional designers. So there is definitely quality work going into these designs. You can go onto Fiverr’s website to see the types and quality of designs you can expect to find.
Contract Terms
Fiverr has a simple contract structure. You can choose from 2 different plans for the logo maker, and there’s a third one if you want the professionals to tweak your design for you. Here’s a look at the options:
High-res PNG files
Resizable vector files

Customer Service
Fiverr logo maker has the same support as the regular Fiverr site. That includes an entire community of users and contributors to ask questions to or discuss ideas with, a tremendous help center filled with most of the questions you could come up with, and FAQs to browse through. You can also open up a help ticket on the site. It would be nice to have a phone number or live chat to work with too.
Design Process
The Fiverr logo designer has a 3-step design process:
- Enter your business name. If you have a slogan, you can put that in as well.
- Select your industry (Fiverr has a nice selection process that lets you start typing until your suggestion comes up) and add any important keywords relevant to your business.
- Lastly, you’ll define your brand’s personal style. This is done via a sliding scale that you can specify your preferences on design aspects, including classic versus modern, fun versus serious, simple versus sophisticated, accessible versus premium, and traditional versus innovative.
Then Fiverr will generate a few logo design options. Here’s where you get to enjoy the real strength behind this service. Since Fiverr is a marketplace, you get access to a boatload of designs in an instant. If you like choices, then this is definitely going to be a good option for you. You’ll get almost 100 different designs to browse through (and each concept comes with a few design options in various layouts, angles, and colors). So you end up with loads of options right off the bat.
We like that Fiverr makes it easy to see multiple options, opening each logo design choice in a separate tab so you can keep scrolling if you want. It’s also pretty cool that Fiverr shows you how the design will look in various formats (for example, on mugs, as stationary, on a mobile device, etc.).
Once you’ve chosen a logo design you like, you can edit your choice. Fiverr has a simple editor, so you don’t have to be a design genius to work the thing. You can change or tweak your colors (choose from a preset color palette or pick your own from a color wheel), change your font size, letter spacing, and curvature, and change things like position on the page. Fiverr also lets you pick your background, add images, and tweak your slogan. There are more advanced logo editors out there, but Fiverr is definitely one of the best basic design tools, easy to use, and detailed enough to get some good customization going.
One downside to all this is that there’s no “save for later” option. You need to design, tweak, and purchase your logo all in one go. No wonder they made it so fast and easy to use!
Fiverr also has a pro version of its logo maker. This gives you access to a professional designer who will take on your logo design project. This is a good option if you just don’t want to deal with any of the design elements of creating a logo. If that’s the case, then Fiverr will give you access to the professional designer who designed the original template. That designer will be the one doing the editing work for you. Remember though, that pro versions come with a cost. There’s no average pricing; each designer will charge their own fees. But you can get a nice professional logo design for roughly $50 on Fiverr. The turnaround time for a pro job is around 2 days.
Conclusion
The Fiverr logo maker is a fabulous choice for fast and easy logo creation. While you won’t get the Mona Lisa of logo designs, there’s no doubt that you can churn out a nice design in less than 10 minutes. The editor is easy enough for anyone to use, the options are pretty varied, and the process is faster than you could dream of. And for $30 for a basic plan, Fiverr’s logo maker beta version is good competition for the logo design market.
