Value for Money
Since the Logo Maker site is free, the value for money in simply designing a web logo is excellent. There are thousands of icons to choose from that have all been professionally drawn and are not just clip art graphics, which is far more than most other logo maker sites offer. Logo Maker also offers to connect you with a professional designer for a custom logo if you can’t find what you’re looking for in the library of free icons, but there is no information about the cost of this service.
You’ll be charged a one-time fee of $49 to download your logo files, which is more than some other sites charge, but the package does include the full high-resolution EPS vector file as well as JPG, PNG, and GIF files in 3 sizes so that you can use your logo immediately on any item you’d like. Logo Maker only helps you to design your business logo itself, so there is no package that includes business stationery, business cards, or a branded website. Once you have the logo, it’s up to you to use it on your business products in any manner you choose.
Portfolio/Experience
The portfolio of icon options on offer from Logo Maker is huge, and includes over 10,000 icons and 50 different fonts. There’s no information about the designers who created them, but all you need is to see the artwork itself. Once you’ve chosen your logo icon, you get to do all of the design work yourself, such as tweaking the colors, adding your business name and slogan, and changing the font, so you are your own designer.
Contract Terms
Logo Maker presents a transparent service. You can start designing your logo without sharing any personal details, but to save your logo designs, you’ll need to create an account. It’s free to use the HTML code for your new web logo, but you’ll have to pay before you can download print files, which include EPS vector files and full rights to your logo. Logo Maker’s 30-day “love your logo” guarantee promises a full refund within 30 days of purchase if you aren’t entirely happy with your logo.
Customer Service
Logo Maker boasts some very positive reviews about its customer service, and the website promises to do all it can to help you create a logo you love. However with that said, customer support is only available through email, and there is no telephone or live chat support, which is a weak point, but customer service representatives do respond to emails quickly.
Design Process
The design process for Logo Maker is very fast and easy. Logo Maker boasts that you can complete a new logo in just one minute, although of course, the time it takes will depend on how long you spend trying out different colors and fonts. There's no need to download any software – you can just use the free online app, which is compatible with Mac and PC. You can start browsing the library or icons and creating your new logo without having to enter any personal or credit card information at all.
To create a logo, you begin by choosing an icon that fits your business’s image. There are over 10,000 professionally-drawn icons to choose from, and you can browse or search by category or keyword. Logo Maker permits users to save up to 6 logo versions so you can try out a number of different icons to decide which you prefer. You’ll have to create an account to save your designs, though.
Once you’ve chosen an icon, you can tweak the colors, change the font from 50 font styles, and add your business name and company slogan. You can make endless revisions to your designs and use your logo for free as an HTML code web logo until you’re ready to download the print files. If you change your mind about your logo after you’ve paid to download the files, you can use the 30-day “love your logo” guarantee to request a refund and start again as long as you’re still within the 30-day limit.
If you aren’t sure what you want, Logo Maker offers a rich library of customer education resources that teach you how to design your own logo, including advice on color choices and font options.
Conclusion
Logo Maker is a fast, easy-to-use free logo maker site that offers good value for money. The 30-day refund guarantee and the inclusion of full EPS vector files make it stand out from other options. However, if you need personalized support, a site that provides more avenues for customer support and a custom design process may be a better choice.
