Top 5 Logo Creation Websites: Create Your Own Logo Online, Fast, with Ease and No Design Experience
Updated: Apr 3, 2022
5 options for creating a free logo and website online
Let’s start by defining a logo. What is a Logo?
A logo is simply a symbol, graphic mark, or stylized name (wordmark) used to identify and to promote recognition of a company, organization, product, service, or brand.
Many people when you talk about a logo they think of branding and some when you talk about branding they think of a logo. We just defined a logo to be a mark or symbol identifying a company or organization.
But What is a Brand?
A brand could be a specific type of product manufactured by a particular company under a particular name. So, a brand is a product while a logo is a mark on the product. Simple differentiator, right?
Anyways, so, What is a Logo Maker?
A logo maker is simply a design tool that helps you create, edit, and customize a logo on your own, without any experience of any sort and without the help of a professional designer easily and fast. Some logo makers or logo generators offer to ship your prints.
Anyways, the first thing before jumping into any logo maker, be it Wix, Canva, Namecheap, or any other logo creation software. Before you get started;
Know why you want the logo (What do you intend to achieve with your logo? What is your goal? What is your target audience?)
Do your homework (research your competitors to help you stand-out)
Consider your budget (not all logo makers are free)
Check how easy it is to use the logo maker of your choice
Be clear on your color and typography choices
Create an account if necessary to save your design (just in case you need to make any changes)
Alright, now that you know what a logo is, you have done your homework about the interests of your target audience, let’s look at some of the top five options available.
1. Wix Logo Maker
You might already know Wix as a free Website builder, and how easy it makes it for everyone to create a beautiful, professional online presence, but what you might not know is that Wix is also a free logo maker.
If it’s your first time creating a logo in Wix, you might want to check out the logo inspiration page to help get your creativity going and then check out how to create your own logo.
Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the Wix logo maker, will create for you a unique logo based on a few questions about your brand (business) and personal style so you can get your professional logo out in just a few clicks.
Here is How to Create a Logo in 3 Steps using the Wix logo maker
Step 1: Enter your business or brand name
Step 2: Customize and personalize your logo with your own design style, fonts, colors until you have what you want
Step 3: Download your high-quality images or print on business cards, cups, t-shirts, bags, merchandise, and more.
So, how much does this cost?
Well, first of all, you need a Wix account in order to save or download your standard logo files for $20 or a logo selection of high-quality, resizable logo files for $50 (with profile files and cover images for social media) to use anywhere from your business cards to presentations, brochures and more.
Wix has a great offer where you choose whether you want only the logo or both the logo and a website at the same time, you then get a discount of up to $50 so you can pay $132 per year for a Combo plan or $192 per year for your Wix website unlimited plan and have all the logo files too. Below is what is included in the whole offer.

Canva’s logo maker makes the logo creation process as easy as possible by giving you all the tools and ingredients you need to make a logo fast and easy (using drag-and-drop) and without any design experience.
Canva also gives you the option to print your logos on business cards or merchandise and have them delivered to your doorstep. See logo ideas.
Just like the Wix logo maker, you will need a Canva account to get started designing and downloading your free logos.
How to Create a Free Logo in 3 Steps using Canva

Step 2: Customize your logo by adding your brand name, and colors.
Step 3: Review your logo on business cards, brochures, flyers, download.
Notice the difference between the Wix logo maker and Canva logo maker?
Canva logo maker allows you to choose a template that you can edit to fit your business while with the Wix logo maker, your templates are generated by the (AI) Artificial intelligence technology based on your business details.
Did I mention that all logos made with the Canva logo maker are free? Except for the SVG (Scalable vector graphic) file, and a PNG file with a transparent background, which requires a Canva Pro account for $12.95 per month or $119 per year.
A pro account gives you access to the whole library of high-quality images, videos, vector graphics, automatic background remover tool, along with a tool to help you schedule your social media content and so much more. All with one premium account. Want more about Canva Pro? Read this or this.
