If you’ve been thinking of creating business cards to promote your website, online business or company you might want to visit LogoYes.
I just tried out the free logo design demo on their site and within just a few minutes I had created a logo for Tricia’s Musings. Take a look at what I created:
It was easy! LogoYes has a simple step by step proceedure that’s foolproof. You can even go back a step or two if you change your mind about what you are creating!
The first step is to choose the type of image you want your logo to portray – High-tech, bold and flair are the three choices. I picked flair for my logo style.
Once you’ve selected your style you’ll need to decide which industry your business or website falls into. This is a fairly general blog that discusses a number of topics so I had a bit of trouble choosing my “industry”. I eventually decided to go with health and beauty as I discuss health topics quite often.
Step three involved picking a symbol (image) from my industry of choice to use in my logo. As you can see I picked a flower bouquet. There is a wide variety of images to choose from so you’ll be sure to find a symbol that will depict your website or business quite well.
Step four and five were the most fun steps. This is where you can chose the colors of your logo and add text to it as well. I choose to simple add the name of my blog – Tricia’s Musings. I then decided to make the bouquet a red color and matched the text of Tricia’s Musings as closely in color as I could to the main green colors of my blog.
What you see above is the logo I created.
I then went on to create a simple business card by going through two additional steps:
Now i have a logo for my site that closely matches the style of my blog. This of course is known as branding. If I order these business cards those who visit my site after receiving a card will see that the cards colors and logo are similar to that of the site.
I’m quite pleased with how my logo and business card turned out.
LogoYes also does custom Logo Design so if you can’t find a Do It Yourself logo that works well for your company you can inquire about having a custom logo made for your business.
This was actually a fun process to go through. Anyone could design their own logo using a system such as this. Give it a try.
Wow..thanks for this! I have been looking for someplace to do some business cards!
Wow, perfect timing. I was just thinking about how to do this yesterday and then I read your post. Sometimes the universe does work in mysterious ways.
Hi there,
Sorry to bother you but I sent you an email a couple of days ago to see if I could be added to the I am Canadian blogroll. I already put the script on my blog (you can check it out by clicking on “the world”, in my navbar).
Just wanted to make sure you got my email!
Wow, you can call me a noob cos I seriously never think bout having business cards for my own website. Thnx for the info
I like the designer. I think simple is always best, but I can’t use other characters, for instance if I wanted to translate a business card to another language. It wouldn’t be hard for them to implement this and broaden their market quite a bit.
I just came across this article, I didn’t notice it was 3 years old at first. But hey, thanks for sharing anyway. I’m going to try out that site now as I’ve tried doing my own in photoshop etc but I’m useless with it. Hopefully logoyes still has the tools to make things easier.
