I believe I spent more time just brainstorming ideas on how I wanted to have my logo done compared to the time I spent using the multiple websites to create a few draft designs. I began using Logojoy since that was the website I explored in our last class. I liked that website because it was very user friendly and most of the designs that were provided after entering the text I wanted to use looked very modern. But then I found out I had to pay. I then moved to Logomaker. This website was very easy to use as well and I really liked my logo but after saving it on the website it told me that Logomaker will only save it for 5 days unless I purchase it. I then moved into checking out Canvas. I went to this website after I looked at Matt’s logo, so I thought I’d give it a try. After choosing the layout and style for my logo I really enjoyed using the search engine to look up graphics and I again came up with a logo that I was happy with for now. As of right now I am hoping to receive some feedback from the classmates and see how my logo will develop. I also am still unsure of which website to use. Is that a bad thing? And will I have to pay for this? You would think that all the thousands of dollars that we are paying for this program we would have some sort of voucher to a website to make a logo for free with awesome tools to create it. That’s another hurdle for me at the moment.

I was also frustrated by the fact that I had to pay. I would appreciate a list of free sites that I should try. I was just playing around and found some things that I liked, I spent a while working on it and then realized I had to pay. I guess it is my fault for not looking into it more but I would think by cohort 15 this is something that would be made very clear when providing links for us to use. Hopefully class this week will provide more clarity as to what direction we should go with our logos.

I have read a few other blogs that seem to have the same problem that they liked the logo they made but then had to pay if they wanted to keep it. I looked at logomakr (no /e/) and it was very simple to use and it was free. I hadn't thought about it, but you are right we should have some sort of voucher to be able to use a logo making website without having to pay.

It sounds like you've invested your time into many different great resources. I also enjoyed using logomakr and will probably stay with that one for my logo. I know we have to pay for many of these if we want the extra tools or high resolution, but I think we will be okay with the low resolution and can avoid having to pay. I look forward to getting some feedback on my logo as well; which is in no way a final product.

Excellent point Sam about the vouchers. It might be something to look into as a school. I had the same struggles with creating a logo I liked and then all of a sudden having to pay - i look forward to checking out your's and Kristina's suggestions.
