Canva This is a popular online design tool, often
used to create images for social media.
But Canva can also be used to create a logo for your ecommerce store.

intuitive to use.
Canva comes with over 100 logo templates to choose from.
And, it also comes with a huge selection of stock images that you can use to create your
logo.

a free online logo creator.
The logo creator is available for anyone to use, even if you’re not using Ucraft to
build your website.
Ucraft allows you to create a logo with the help of different fonts, colors, icons, and
shapes.
Their interface is simple, making it easy to create and export your logo design in minutes.
Ucraft does ask that you create an account to use the service.
It also charges $12 if you’d like to download your design in SVG format.
However, it’s totally free to download your design as a high-resolution PNG file with
a transparent background.
If that’s what you’re after, check out Ucraft to design a professional-looking logo.

The Hipster Logo Generator As you’d expect, this quirky logo creator
generates logos in a hipster style.
It’s not for everyone, but if your ecommerce store caters to a younger crowd, this tool
is perfect.
The tool is super simple to use, and asks you a series of questions to bring your logo
design to life.
As with Ucraft, you do have to pay to download a high resolution SVG file, in this case $10.
But, it’s completely free to download a PNG file of your finished design.
Number 5: MarkMaker This clever logo creator generates design
options based on the name of your company and your industry.
How does it work?
First, you heart the logo designs that you like most.
Then, the software will register the style of design you like the most, and show you
more designs tailored to your preferences.
Once you find the design template you like best, you can hover your mouse over it and
click the pencil icon to edit the logo to your heart’s content.
Best of all, MarkMaker allows you to download your design absolutely free, as either a PNG
or SVG file.
Number 6: LogoType Maker This free online logo creator is ideal for
startups and small sized companies on a budget.
Simply input the name of your company and choose your industry, and the tool will present
plenty of logo templates for you to browse.
Once you’ve found a logo template you like, customize the shapes, colors, and fonts.
You do have to pay to download your design in SVG format.
But again, you can download your finished design as a PNG or JPG for free.
Number 7: Logaster Once again, with this tool, you start by inputting
the name of your company, along with your industry.
Then the tool will show you logo examples to choose from.
Once you’ve picked a template to start with, you can edit the color, text, and icons, before
you save your finished design.
It costs $9.99 to download your finished design as a high resolution file, but you can download
a smaller version of your design for free.
Number 8: Vectr This free graphic design software is a bit
more complex than the other options we’ve mentioned.
But it’s still easy to use, even if you’re not a design whiz.
One great thing about this program is that you can work with it online, or you can download
the program to your computer for free.
Vectr also has live editing, so you can collaborate on your design in real-time, or share your
progress with your team.
Plus, if you ever get stuck, Vectr has a helpful user guide and tutorials to help.

Number 9: Free Logo Design This free logo generator has a wide range
of professional-looking templates.
Like the other tools we mentioned, you start by inputting your company name and industry.
Then, the tool will provide templates for you to work with.
You can also create a template from scratch by selecting the ‘start’ button.
Free Logo Design charges for a high resolution file of your logo design.
But, you can download a low resolution file for free if you create an account.
Okay, so now you know of 9 tools that you can use to create a professional-looking logo
for your ecommerce business…
Let’s run through some key points to consider when designing your logo.
First off, research your competitors.
This is a great way to get some inspiration, and it helps you differentiate your logo,
so that your store stands out.
Also, don’t make your logo too complex.
95% of the world’s top brands use just one or two colors in their logos.
And often, one simple icon or shape is all you need.
For a more professional-looking logo, try to avoid using generic clipart, or overused
imagery.
Also, avoid any design elements that are trendy right now, but might look dated in a couple
of years time.
And, don’t forget to make sure your logo still looks good in black and white, and small,
or large.
Lastly, once you’ve created a couple of designs, be sure to get some honest, constructive
feedback.
Try posting a few design options on Facebook and get your friends to vote on which one
they prefer.
This should help you to hone in on that winning logo design for your ecommerce store.
Okay, that’s all for now.
It’s time to pick one of these free online logo creators and start designing!
