To have an idea about the disadvantages of this service we have to learn what it is about. Free logo-maker websites actually allow individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses to create their logos online and for free. It takes only few minutes to get a logo through these websites. The process is extremely simple. All it requires is selecting a template, choosing colors and fonts. Then use a software to create an emblem. Once designed it is ready to use. Now, the real question is when logos can be created this easily, then why is there such a fuss about its design and why people waste so much time, money, and effort to get it designed from bigger organizations. Why are people not just availing their services but also praising them through rave reviews as it is evident from some of the reviews for logo venture. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to get it done yourself through these online websites? You will get the answer to this question later, but first have a look at the importance of logo for business. It is literally a visual representation of your brand. Logo promotes a brand even when nothing is done to promote it. It has become even more important with internet. Imagine someone landing on your web page and you have a general template for a logo, what kind of an impression would that create? If you want them to stay around and explore, then you need to have a luring and amazing logo. Now, that we have been through logo and its importance, it is time to answer the question we raised earlier. We do not really like to recommend online logo-makers that use templates because. Logos Look Tacky If you want to have an impression of a cheap brand, then sure, go ahead and get your logo for free. These logo creators are unable to provide an artistic and authentic touch. The logo may reflect poorly on your brand. No Originality When you go for online logo creators, you end up using a template which is obviously not originally designed for you or your business. It may offer you multiple features and options but even that is limited. You cannot compare the logo designs, which are made with some changes in templates, with imagination and creativity of a professional logo designer. The worst part is that the template you have chosen for your brand might have been duplicated and used by some other brand somewhere out there or even worse, by multiple businesses. Do you really want to have an identity similar to some other brand? How originality matters can be seen in service reviews from satisfied clients about Logo Venture designers. Here is one review to give you an idea of what I am talking about: “Highly recommended to all entrepreneurs. They provided me the design same the one I had in my mind. Perfect execution of the brief”. This review talks about getting the logo exactly as client envisioned it in his/her mind. Trust me, this is not possible with online logo creation services. Only a designer can understand your brief and come up with results as per client expectations, no software will be able to come close. There is a human communication between logo designers and clients, discussing concepts and providing feedback in the design loop process. Copyright Issues Since you do not have an original logo, you will not be able to have copyrights to your company logo. How do you think you are going to protect your identification? We are not saying that it is impossible but the process is arduous and difficult. When you hire a dedicated organization for logo designing, they take care of copyrights and trademark issues. But when you design it yourself through automated online software, you will have to do the job on your own. Copyright laws can be really complex to deal on your own and this is one of the major reasons that people praise the services they receive from designers. They have been through minimal problems, if any at all, as they mention in their logo venture reviews. This is when we are taking about when things go smoothly. What about when things take a bumpy turn? Your opponent may copy your logo and get it registered on their name before you. This way they can even sue you and the lawsuit will drain you off both money and time. Hidden Charges Not the only attraction, but definitely the most powerful charm that lures people towards online logo creators, is the claim that they are free. Well, this might not always be true, they usually have hidden charges and limit you to certain templates only unless you pay an amount to access the other features and tools on offer by the same website or software. You may have opted for them because they are charging nothing but ultimately you might end paying some amount along the way. The amount is not too much, to be honest. But when compared to all the disadvantages discussed above, why would anyone pay a single penny? On the other hand, you will only pay what you have agreed on to the creative design agencies – No hidden charges. This is the reason people are extremely pleased with them. As a client named Will Ernesto stated in one of the logo venture reviews, “Highly efficient team of professional designers, Logo Venture is as good as it gets. At such an incredible price it was hard-to-believe but the team actually did better than I expected! Thanks.” Conclusion Like everything in this world, online logo creators also have two sides to it. You may think that less money, time, and effort is spent on the ‘logo’ through these websites; this is a reason enough to go for it. However, if you are looking for a unique, original, and relevant design, then you should go for a proper designer or an agency. It might work for people who need a logo urgently but in long run you need to have a properly designed logo by experts. Clients of these digital agencies are mostly happy with their logo design services (Check some of Logo Venture reviews here).
