I Need A Logo For My Blog! Where Can I Create One?

36 replies
Hey guys i recently started a blog, so i'm here constantly trying to customize it, I am a newbie and don't know much about coding.

I need some help in putting up a logo that say "online career" with my tagline below it.

Could any one please tell me where can i get this logo made ?

I currently have only $6.50 in my paypal account i''ll be willing to pay $5.00 for someone to build a nice logo with my tag line.

If $5.00 don't fit the cut well just show me where to get it done...

This is what my current blog log looks like online career

      Do you have a design in mind? I could have one designed for you depending on what you are looking for.

      However if you are a "do it yourself" kind of person I would recommend using The Laughing Bird logo creator . It's economical and gets the job done quickly and easily. The link will lead you to a free version of the software.

        You can download the free software called XHeader. It makes "headers", but you can create a good logo-looking header too.

    If you've only got $6.50 then Fiverr is definitely a viable option, a lot of people there are doing decent design work for 5 bucks.

    You can also go here to create a pretty good looking logo yourself: Logo Generator - your logo is just a click away

      Hi Nicolas,

      I just saw your logo a minute before. I can say that it looks good.

      My only reflection would be that the picture seems to me not enough sharp.

      Many successes,

      Sandor

    You could hire a freelancer but i doubt someone would take up the job for $5. There are lots of logo design software around which you could use to create a logo.

    Just create your own.

    Download Xheader for free or Google "free logo maker" and use one of those free sites. It's really simple, I've done it a hundred times and I ain't got no design or tech skills. 8)

      XHeader is a great header graphics software package and like MrDay says, it's free. I too wouldn't call myself an design expert but it hasn't let me down after two years of use.

    This guy in particular did a GREAT job on a logo for our site and he's from Fiverr:
    http://www.fiverr.com/users/trybpo/orders/72055283

    He created 4 different logos for us to review and his were the best of all the gigs we ordered. You can check it out live on our site:
    AdSense Flippers | AdSense Sites | Micro Websites | Selling Sites | Internet Businesses For Sale

    My advice - Order 3-4 gigs from several different providers that give you a few options. That way, for $15-$20 you get 12-20 different options to choose from from different designers. It's like a cheap 99designs!

    Agree with Sandor, the logo is not sharp.. Few areas of the globe are dark as well, may be you can tweak it a bit

          Nicolas, from looking at your code your logo image is in your themes folder inside your /images folder and is called logo.gif so unless you want to play around with the code I would just ftp into that folder and make sure the logo.gif file is there and rename your logo file to logo.gif then upload. After just a quick glance at your file here is the part I saw that lists your logo:

          <div id="left-header"><!--<a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="home" /></a> -->

          Hope this helps you out.

            Here is another suggestion:

            You can get a copy of GIMP (free photo editing tool), and pay a few bucks to access stock photos/images from a company called "dreamstime".

            Most people won't care if your logo isn't custom made and unique. However, what you have so far looks like it came from the '90s...

            It's pretty straight forward - apply your text and adjust the size to your needs.

            You can also check out this cool free tool:

    If you want a very good quality Logo, do it through crowd sourcing. It is actually the best way.

    The way crowd sourcing works is its sort of like a graphics 'CONTEST'. You create a job (logo design for instance) Describe how you want your logo, how much youre willing to pay etc... Then hundreds of graphic designers see your job and if they wish to try to compete in the job, they will then start working on your logo/graphics, etc.. and then post your logo. You will see dozens of logos being created and if you like any of them and choose to use it, you pay the designer and he sends over all the work in whatever format and customizes it for you, basically taking on the job.

    crowd sourcing sites;

    Code:
    crowdspring.com
    logomyway.com
    99designs.com


    If you are in a budget and do not really care and want a quick and dirty logo, you can use fiverr or one of its alternative sites (clone sites).
