Let’s face it, it’s not easy to find the perfect logo for your brand. Either you create something yourself (but you will need strong branding and design skills), or you’ll have to work with a professional designer or branding agency and pay a lot of money for it.
If you have the budget to hire a professional designer with branding expertise or a branding/design agency to help you develop the perfect logo for your brand, we highly recommend that you do so. Having branding and design experts working for you will ensure you get a great logo tailored to your overall brand strategy. You can find some of the best branding agencies in this article.
But if you’re on a limited budget, professional support isn’t always an option.
We have therefore carefully curated a list of the best logo makers that automatically generate attractive logo options. Each one has been tested by our team at The Branding Journal.

Very impressive! That is a great idea.Make logo, great again.
wow…what a great chance to me…thanks for sharing my article on this post,what a great pleasure for me.
How about logocrisp? Or makelogoonlinefree.com? They both have a free logo download option that gives you a jpg image. That is great for small projects when you are a web designer like me.
I think tailor brands is good website which makes you enable to create your logo with ease. Thanks for sharing
Hi, I started making a logo for my website a few weeks ago, I’ve been comparing sites out there on blog reviews. I have to say that these sites are really cool!! Have you tried http://www.logogenie.net? I started my logo on there the other day and I must say that I have a soft spot for this site. I think it should be included in the logo generator list. It’s packed with cool features. Enjoy
Wow! Didn’t know there are so many logo makers. Good compilation Amanda!
https://www.logogenie.net is a cool logo design tool as well. The tools have recently being updated making them more, reliable, easy and creative. A well rounded logo design tool that should also be in the list ?
Great post, I was surprised that you listed Tailor Brands as #2, I used them to create a logo and got a full branding package! It’s worth a try..
Yikes. I’m shocked that The Branding Journal would publish an article that promotes an “anyone can do it!” to such a critical branding tool. As the article states in the very beginning:
“A brand is not just a logo, however, a logo is one of the most critical elements of your brand’s visual identity. Today we will take a look at the best logo generators available online.”
If a logo is “one of the most critical elements,” then is it really a good idea to trust an automated tool? A logo should be developed in the larger context of branding — the target audience, positioning against competitors, the brand’s promise /values, etc. An automatic logo generator can’t analyze any of this, and the entrepreneur may not understand how to do this and why it’s important, instead creating something that she/he feels “looks nice.”
Even small start-ups with budget limitations should consider hiring a small or one-person agency that can bring the human side into this vital process. Yes, some investment will be required — but there is clearly a benefit: a visual ID based on an understanding of audience, business strategy, and market. If you’re not a branding designer, creating your own logo is a bit like performing your own dental work!
Logo is the main attraction of any brand, it is up to you how creative and attractive brand you made for your customers and those people who are watching first time your company or any website. I truly appreciate your effort.
Such a nice article and most creative post.
Really impressive! I wasn’t aware that there were so many logo generators out there. A logo is certainly the most important visual element of any business and or brand so it is something pretty delicate to deal with. I will be trying these out, thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for the information about logo design
Your article is full of informative thanks for sharing it with us
A logo is the face of the company. It invites the ideal customer to connect with your company and makes sure they do not forget you. A professional logo design service understands your needs and can easily create a noteworthy face for your business.
A company is much more than a logo. A logo, on the other hand, is one of the most important parts of the brand’s visual identity.
Really impressive information. Keep Sharing such type of great content.
