Just found a great new FREE logo maker tool. It\u2019s an online tool, so nothing to download or install.\u00a0 Called DesignEvo, it\u2019s available at http:\/\/designevo.com<\/a>. I just started playing with it this morning and was able to create a half-dozen logos in about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

DesignEvo is quite intuitive and works almost 100% as you\u2019d expect a graphics tool to work. \u00a0It\u2019s quick and easy to take one of the predesigned logos and substitute your company name and tagline.\u00a0 First, type in the type of business or occasion you want to design.\u00a0 I typed in ‘photography’.\u00a0 That gave me 28 designs I could pick from.<\/p>\n

\"DesignEvo<\/p>\n

I then added my company name and tagline<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bammo – here’s what I got.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Done in 30 seconds \u2013 seriously.\u00a0 \u00a0When you finish and download your design, you get three files:\u00a0 one JPEG image, one PNG image and one transparent PNG image.\u00a0 The transparent image can then be laid over any other image in Photoshop or another editing program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But, you can also start from scratch, picking your background, main shape, specialty icons and type selections.\u00a0 Here\u2019s an example that I made in about three minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here are some of its key features:<\/p>\n

* 3000+ fully customizable logo templates.
\n* Over one million icons available to search through.
\n* Hundreds of text fonts and shapes to choose from.
\n* Freely customize a logo with powerful editing tools.<\/p>\n

Logo designs can be anywhere from 32 pixels by 32 pixels to 2,000 pixels by 2,000 pixels.\u00a0 That should cover anything an amateur or professional designer would need.<\/p>\n

My favorite part of the program is the incredible selection of icons – reportedly more than a million, but I haven’t finished counting them myself.\u00a0 I typed in that I wanted a ‘birthday cake’ icon and I\u00a0got literally hundreds from which to choose.\u00a0 Awesome.\u00a0 Also, colors can both be solid or gradient. Even if you start with a stock design, you can quickly make it uniquely your own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The only problem I see with this first version is that you can\u2019t stretch the symbols or icons in one direction only.\u00a0 For example, they show square shapes to use in your design, but if I wanted to alter the shape of this square, my only option is to grab a corner handle and make it larger or smaller.\u00a0 There should be center points to grab, so I could stretch it in one dimension only, turning the square into a rectangle.\u00a0 Right now there are no ovals to use – a rather common shape for logos.\u00a0 If I could stretch in only one dimension, any circle could easily be converted into an oval.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If they\u2019d make that one change, I think a lot of designers would love this tool.\u00a0 Even with that shortcoming, there’s tons to like about this program<\/a>.\u00a0 If it stays free to use, I’ll be coming back regularly.<\/p>\n
