Hey, what's going on guys?
It's Greg, and today, by request,
I'm making the video on how to make a logo for your business,
and then, also, how to put that onto your Wix website.
So, without further ado,
let's get right into the computer and jump into this.
So, the first place you want to come for your logo,
I always recommend is canva.com. It's free to use.
So, you don't have to pay for anything,
and you can make some really professional-looking designs
without hiring someone to do it for you.
So, all you do is sign in to canva.com on a free account.
Create a design,
and it gives you a bunch of different ones you can choose from.
These are just templates, but we're gonna choose logo right here,
and then, this is going to give us some inspiration.
So, these are gonna actually be templates along the side down here
that we can choose, and we can edit,
and we can alter, change the colors of.
So, this is free on the corner.
It's completely free to use.
If it does have a money sign,
then, that means that someone else made it and uploaded it,
and maybe, it's a dollar,
but you can change it around
and just take out any of the paid features to make it free.
And as you can see, we haven't even found a paid one yet.
So, most of these will be free.
So, all we've got to do here is pick something that we liked.
There's something like this. This actually looks really nice,
and what we can do now is
Now, we can start changing what this says.
So, if this were for, let's just say, photographer,
we can say, I'm just gonna go right along with this,
Sandra Photography, and double click that.
Sandra photography.
So, that's the name of our company for today,
and that's what we're gonna go with.
So, what I'm gonna do is,
I actually want to take the background out of this,
and I don't want the font to be white.
So, if I take the background out,
I can't put it on top of anything that is white.
So, I'm going to change this font color.
I'm just gonna highlight it all and change it to a black,
and then, what I'm gonna do is just click on the back here,
and change this to a white,
and I'm actually just gonna go a step further,
and change this to, go with this lighter blue,
and I'll do the same over here,
and then, this is our logo. So, that's our logo.
That's what we're gonna go off of,
and all we have to do now is hit 'download.'
It's gonna say PDF,
but PDF is gonna make things a little bit more complicated for us.
So, what I'm gonna do is switch that to PNG,
and then, if you pay for Canva,
it'll actually take the background out right away.
So, you don't have to do this next step,
but I'm gonna show you how to do it for free,
so, you don't have to pay for Canva.
So, just leave that how it is and hit 'download,'
and now, that's downloaded right here.
When we open that up, this is what we have.
This is what we just made. It has the white background on it.
So, if you are on a Mac,
then, all you can do is just hit this little suitcase,
hit this little wand right here, and you can select.
All you got to do is just click and drag,
and it selects whatever is red, will be deleted.
So, you do that and you just hit the delete button,
and it'll delete that.
Then, you just come in here and do the same,
all through here, and you can delete everything like that.
But what about if you're not on a Mac?
Someone on a PC,
or someone who doesn't want to do what I just showed you,
then all you're gonna do is come over to this website right here
called online.photoscissors.com.
Now, you can download this and get it on your computer,
or you can just use it right on their website.
I just use it right on their website. You just upload the file,
and we'll just pick what we just created here,
and mind you, this online photo scissors only works on Chrome.
It doesn't work on Safari.
It may work on Firefox and Internet Explorer,
but I know for a fact, it doesn't work on my version of Safari.
So, if you're going through this,
keep in mind if you are using Safari,
you might have a little bit of glitching.
So, try out Chrome.
This just gives us some instructions on how to use it.
It's basically, just put green where you want to keep,
and red where you want to take away.
So, that all makes sense.
So, all we're gonna do is select the green up here,
and we're gonna say, we want to keep all of this.
We'll keep all of this right here.
Okay, that's all good,
and then, we want to take away everything that's out here.
Then, I'll give us a preview over here what that looks like.
As you can see, the yellow is where it's keeping.
So, we're just gonna come in a little bit closer,
and there we go.
It just came right in and took away all that outside.
So, that's what we're gonna do here.
I'm gonna leave the white on the inside.
I think that looks pretty nice,
but if you wanted to take it away,
you could just start selecting with your red in here,
and I'll start to take stuff away in here.
Just be careful what you do there,
but I'm gonna leave it how it is for now,
and let's just do save.
Now, we have the new one saved on our computer,
and then, we'll come one more over and go right to Wix.
So now, on Wix, all we have to do is upload an image,
So, we're going to add and we'll go to image,
my image uploads, and then, upload image in the corner.
I'll choose that same one and make sure that it is the right one.
That's perfect.
Okay.
Once that's loaded,
what we're going to do is select that.
I'm gonna move myself over here and add that to page,
and now, we have this. This is our logo.
So, this is going to be on our website that we can use,
but we want to put it up in the header.
So, what we're going to do first is,
I'm going to clear out what's up here.
So, just select and delete, select and delete,
and then, I'm gonna make this smaller,
and then, I'm actually gonna drag it up top.
Now, this is actually really good that this happened,
because this will happen to some people if you run into the same issue.
So, as you can see,
that the outline of this image is actually too big,
so, it won't fit up top even though it is a transparent background.
So, what we have to do here is come in and crop it,
and we're going to drag this down, drag this up.
Well, we're just gonna do this.
Didn't make it work,
and then, we'll see we can bring these sides in a little bit.
So, that's what we want.
So, let's just do apply that.
Now, we should be able to put it right up in the header,
and as long as it fits entirely in the header,
It'll turn a different color and say, attach to header,
and that's what we want to do. So, added to header, got it
That means that's now in the header. I'm just gonna slide this over here.
Now, that's our logo. So, that's all set.
Now, you can keep adjusting it and make it bigger if you want.
Just make sure that it stays within that header,
so, it stays attached to the header, and thenm you can preview it
and that's what it looks like.
Now, you have a logo right in your Wix site.
So, the second thing to do here is to come up to mobile,
and make sure that it looks good and mobile as well.
So, it's going to format it and throw it around.
So, what we're gonna do is bring this up top here.
Bring this up as well, and then, we're gonna make the header smaller.
You just have to make sure that it formats properly,
and you can play with this on mobile.
But that's how you put the logo onto your Wix website.
That's how you take the background out of your logo,
and that's also how you can create your logo completely for free.
So, hope that helps you guys.
