Design Your Own Logo
Filed in: Downloads, Open Source, Reviews — January 17th, 2008
We know that domain name is a branding, so do logo did. I would like to design a logo that could express my blog’s name and my blog niche. I am not an art guy, so I do not have much experience on how to design a logo.
How to design?
I know design is not an easy job, but there are few factors that you must consider before design a logo. The 4 main factors are simplicity, meaningful, creative and impressive.
Of course, to digitize your logo, you need a free vector graphics editor software called Inkscape to help you. You can download Inkscape here.
Ink your Logo
With the help from Inkscape software, I start to draw my logo and it just took me few minutes to complete. Inkscape is not a image editor like photoshop, but is an excellent free vector graphics editor. It is very useful when come to create logos that need to be printed on big banners. With this tool, you can not only create fine details, but also can scale the images to any size you want.
So, you want to see my first logo ?
I have designed a simple logo as picture above by using calligraphic line for LiewCF.com. It looks artistic, simple and match with harmonization colors.
As for myself, I used sharp colors that integrate with iPod touch in my logo. The large “T” and iPod touch in the logo represent its tech related blog.
These are my first artworks. How do you think?
