11 Best Logo Makers 2020

Features

At the top of our list is Shopify Hatchful, which in addition to the logo itself, gives you the option to download various other formats of the newly-created image. The different formats are customized for specific social media accounts. These include your Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest profiles.

This is an absolutely satisfying branding package that saves you the trouble of resizing and fitting your logo for the different profiles afterward. While not a unique feature for this software, it’s still worth mentioning. Also, let’s not forget that it’s free.

On top of all that, you have hundreds of free templates, designed and customized with different industries in mind. It won’t be an overstatement to say that this software was designed with user experience in mind.

In fact, it will probably make you doubt whether you’ll ever need the services of a professional designer again.

The only thing that was truly disappointing was that you can’t have two icons in one logo for some reason. I, for one, had a genius idea for a pub logo that included two icons. Alas, I guess I won’t be opening my two-logo pub now. Either that or I’ll use another tool that can provide that option.

Benefits

Hatchful is really straightforward and saves you a ton of time. It’s never been easier to create a logo for free — the final design can be just a few clicks away.

And the best part is — the tool is absolutely free. This way, it will save you both time and cash. So, easy, beautiful and free, all the essentials are covered. And given all the features and benefits we’ve just described, it’s no surprise that Shopify Hatchful takes the top spot in the best logo makers list.

Ease of Use

Trust me, it’s extremely easy to get started with Shopify Hatchful. The interface is very eye-pleasing and makes the process of creating a logo effortless and fun. Without even realizing it, you’ll already have tons of designs to choose from in front of you.

Support

It was a little hard to find a way to contact the support. I had to Google it, spend a couple of minutes wondering where to find the info and eventually sent a message via a contact form.

Hatchful clarified that the address for contacting their support was hatchful@shopify.com, although no such details were clearly provided on their website. Generally, that’s not a good sign.

Regardless, support was surprisingly quick. Their representative was knowledgeable and provided a lot of information to answer my questions. You can only contact them via email, though, so no chatting or phone calls for now.

Pricing

Shopify Hatchful is absolutely free to use. There are no premium plans with extra features available at the moment. It’s safe to say that Shopify Hatchful is one of the best free online logo makers in 2020.

Features

Canva is really the one tool to do it all. Apart from professional logo design, you can also make posters, flyers, infographics, brochures, wallpapers, book covers, menus, social media banners, letterheads, newsletters — you can practically design anything.

Canva amazes with its wide range of features, too. First of all, you can adjust your image with multiple filters, and effects like the background remover. You can also change the level of brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, tint, x-process, and vignette. You can play around with the transparency level and resize your image.

There’s also plenty to choose from in terms of fonts and you have the bonus option of uploading even more of your own. Ultimately, Canva can provide the best logo design online, but you’ll have to put in some muscle to create it.

Benefits

The software is valuable for those who also want to create different branding materials beyond the logo. You can easily make a poster, Facebook cover, brochures, business cards, infographics — the list goes on.

Canva is an excellent way to save time and money for multiple different tools. It does such a good job that even professional designers can benefit from it. In fact, I bet a lot of designers out there use Canva.

Ease of Use

It may take you a bit of time to get to know all the options and features of Canva. This doesn’t mean that it’s confusing or hard to learn. Actually, it’s just the opposite.

Considering the wealth of features at your disposal, Canva has managed to create a surprisingly user-friendly interface.

Once you spend some time and learn to navigate around the interface, you’ll quickly realize just why Canva is one of the best online logo makers out there.

Support

Canva provides 24-hour support from Monday to Friday and limited support on weekends. They offer both phone, and email support. And there’s also a large enough knowledge base in the Support section.

A support representative of Canva did eventually reply to my queries, after a couple of days’ delay. It’s not ideal, but it happens. While I thought the free version didn’t offer any support at all, it turns out it does, so kudos to Canva for that.

Pricing

• Free
• Pro — $9.95/month/user ($119.40 billed yearly)
• Enterprise — $30/month/user ($360 billed yearly)

Apart from Canva’s free version, the vendor offers Pro and Enterprise plans. The Pro plan is labeled as the best value one, recommended for small teams and individuals.

Still, the Pro plan does have its limitations.

On the flip side, you have many more options in terms of access to elements, backgrounds, and photos. That said, there are still some features that need to be purchased separately.

The good news is that you can get a free trial for any of the premium plans and decide which will be most suitable for your needs.

Features

PlaceIt offers over 8 thousand unique logo templates. Yeah, let that number sink in for a minute. The possibilities are practically unlimited. You can do whatever you have in mind for your logo and a lot of things you haven’t even thought of.

The Mockups, Designs, Videos, and Gaming options meanwhile let you put your logo on anything. T-shirts, mugs, twitch banners, animated logos, pillows, books — you name it. Ultimately, you can use the tool as a youtube logo maker, among all other possible options.

It’s important to note that once you purchase a package, all the designs you make come with a watermark. This way, you can use them in any way you like, including selling them to customers.

Placeit prides itself on its vast quantity of templates you can put to good use. With this software, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to get a high-quality design. The templates are battle-tested, and designed by professionals who obviously put their heart into creating unique designs with their own personality.

Having this large selection at your disposal, you can pick the template that best fits the vibe of your business. You can then further customize it with the app’s brilliant editor.

The end result is a logo that has both the professionalism of the designer behind it, plus your own individual interpretation. By investing just an hour of your time into this process, your logo can look professional, and yet still be unique.

Benefits

Astonishing designs, really! I can’t stress enough how awesome the designs are. That’s the main goal either way. The flexibility of pricing is also a key takeaway point, as it’s quite unique for a software of this type.

So not only do PlaceIt offer great visuals, but they’re quite affordable too. The only way it could be better is if it were a free product. That said, once you see the end results, chances are you’ll see it as money well spent.

Ease of Use

Not only is this logo making tool easy to use, it’s also a lot of fun. The only problem could be that with so many beautiful designs, choosing just one can become a burden. But hey, look at you and your first world problems.

Support

PlaceIt offers phone and email support, and chat, too. Thumbs up for them — they are one of the few companies in the niche that try to maintain all three. The support working hours are Monday to Friday between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM CT.

Their representative was polite and knowledgeable in answering my questions. He even provided me with a link for a 25% discount for the first month for their unlimited package.

While I had good customer support experiences, there’s a lot of negative cases out there. People claim that the support of the company was very bad in resolving their issues, and some even believe that their email was subject to immense spam after subscribing to PlaceIt.

Pricing

• $14.95/month
• $99.95/year
• $39.95 — single logo purchase

PlaceIt is really flexible in terms of pricing. It’s a custom logo maker, and one of the few I’ve encountered that offer a monthly subscription. That has you covered, regardless of whether you just need to use the service for a couple of months or want to pay on a monthly basis from a financial perspective.

The yearly subscription still has better value, though. It will save you a lot of money in the long run — when you break it down, it’s just $8.33 a month. You need to pay upfront for the year, naturally, but the price could easily be worth your while.

On top of that, you can pay for a one-time service, in case you decide you just need that single logo and nothing more. Paying for one month seems way more logical, though, but still — it’s a cool option to have.

And that logo will be provided to you in a high-resolution png file (4000x4000px). With that level of detail, it’s already okay to use it for commercial purposes.

It’s important to note that the subscriptions also grant you access to the other services of PlaceIt — Mockups, Designs, and Videos.

Features

Except for the logo creation, Logaster also provides the options to make an email signature, avatars for social media platforms, a favicon, business cards and more.

Bear in mind, you’ll need to pay, to gain the full advantage of the tool, since the free version of the product is a bit lackluster, mainly due to the editing options.

Logaster clients have created over 11 million logos with the tool and you can actually get to see them in the blog section of the site. That’s not only good advertising on their part, it’s also practical since you can use it to get inspired for your own brand symbol.

Benefits

Using Logaster will save you a lot of time and energy. You don’t have a good idea? Not sure how you want your logo to look? Nothing to fear.

The AI-powered logo generator is capable of directly creating dozens and dozens of great designs in a matter of seconds. You can choose one of them and then additionally edit and customize it to get the logo you like.

You can, of course, create an entirely different logo of your own. Even then, though, those generated designs sure helped to get you inspired, didn’t they?

Ease of Use

It’s very easy to get started with Logaster and create your own logo, even if you’re a complete beginner. You simply type in the name of your brand and the software’s AI generates templates for you. Of course, you then have the option to edit the template you liked the most.

Still, the editing options are a bit run-of-the-mill, at least for the free version. It’s true you get to select a design category, including music, abstract, industrial, fashion, and so on, as well as color gammas, but ultimately there’s not that much to customize onwards.

When we turn our attention towards customer reviews, there’s a recurring complaint that the website loading speed is slow. That’s something I experienced myself, at times. Generally, though, the majority of user reviews are excellent.

Support

Logaster’s support was very quick to reply — just two hours after I sent them an email. The average response time is 24 hours, though. For the moment, the company only offers support via email.

Pricing

• XS — $10.79
• S — $26.99
• M — $34.55

There is a free version of Logaster, as well as three paid plans — strangely named XS, S, and M. A bigger “L” plan also seems to be on the cards, but for the moment it’s labeled as ‘coming soon’. If you’re a business, you’ll probably need at least the S plan, though, with XS only providing one logo file.

The S plan offers the full logo package with 120 files available for download. Those include vector files (PDF, SVG), logo layouts, and background & color variations.

The M plan has all the features of the S, plus a logo pack focused on social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, etc.)

Features

The Wix Logo Maker will grant you access to all the basic features you need. With the advanced package, you receive high-quality png files, vector files, social media kit, and full commercial usage rights. Given the price, it’s one of the best inexpensive logo makers on the market right now.

And since Wix also offers a website builder, you can actually make a bundle and purchase both a website and a logo. This ensures you have the full foundation, on which to start your online presence — and at a very competitive price.

Benefits

The software has got you covered, even if you don’t know how to make logos from scratch. And it’s really fast. You only need to tell the AI what your logo will be used for, and what type of design you want (Dynamic, Fun, Modern, Formal, etc.). Then let the algorithm present you with all kinds of different designs that can potentially fit your expectations.

You’ll be impressed with how engaging and immersive the whole experience can be.

Ease of Use

Using Wix’s logo maker is fun. While this is generally good, it may also be time-consuming. The AI generator provides seemingly endless possibilities, which can be a double-edged sword. It’s understandable how you might end up looking at multiple designs, wondering which one to select.

This is not a bad thing, of course, but the amount of time needed to create a logo will depend on how fast you can make a decision.

Support

Unfortunately, again, I had to use Google to find an actual email address to contact support. Sure, the knowledge base in Wix’s Support Center is huge and helpful. But it’s annoying when you have to waste time just to find how to contact support. The address should be displayed in a visible place.

Anyway, support is only available through email. My representative was a case of ‘classic support,’ meaning she didn’t tell me anything I didn’t know regarding my questions. Just a couple of one-line answers, sort of boilerplate. So, contacting them didn’t really bring any real benefits. If I were a real client, I would be quite frustrated.

Pricing

• Free
• Basic — $21.74
• Advanced — $54.34

You can choose to download the free version of the logo you’ve created. That will only provide you with a jpeg file, though. With the basic version, you get 8 high-quality png files in different colors, including monochrome and grayscale. You also get full commercial usage rights.

Paying for the advanced plan gives you access to everything from the basic version, as well as 5 vector (SVG) files, and 40+ social media files. On top of that, you receive a favicon, an email signature format and more.

Features

With the Ucraft logo creator, you can expect all the basic features, but nothing more than that. Don’t forget it’s a free tool, after all. So, you can select an icon, enter a text and add shapes. It’s awesome that you have more than 1 million free icons to choose from.

The text fonts aren’t as impressive in terms of variety, but you can always import a font from Google’s database, which is a cool feature.

To top it all, you get a free png file of your logo and can get a wonderful high-resolution vector file for just $7. Absolutely one of the best cheap logo makers you can find in 2020.

Benefits

Great to save both time and money. As mentioned, part of the reason this tool has such good value is simply because it’s completely free to use. And it provides a lot of functionalities, all things considered. Combine that with its simplicity and clean design, and you get a very useful tool.

Ease of Use

Extremely easy to use — no unnecessary distractions here. In fact, it’s so easy that even a little kid can make a cool-looking logo. We’re not kidding, you can actually challenge your child to make a logo, while you’re making another one. Who knows, between the two of you, it might turn out you can learn a thing or two from today’s youth.

Support

Ucraft provides a 24/7 online chat support, with the usual response time being under 10 minutes. Email and phone support are not available, though. Their support representative was clear and fast two answer my questions. She even proposed I make a feature request to the company, so essentially Ucraft is trying to stay connected with their client’s needs.

Pricing

• Free — PNG format
• $7 — SVG format

You can create a logo for free with Ucraft, but keep in mind you’ll only be able to download the PNG format freely. If you want to get the vector (SVG) file instead, you’ll need to spend $7 on it.

That’s a very good price to pay for a vector file, as a lot of the other software platforms demand a much higher fee for it.

Features

This tool lets you create cool business card designs to match your logo. You can also get multiple file formats for social media profiles, clothing, digital media, print materials, and signage.

Otherwise, the company prides itself on having a large font selection, and countless logo templates. All of those are arguably pretty essential features you’re after the ultimate logo design.

All things aside, you can create really unique designs, which is not exactly the case with some of the other tools. Remember that pub logo idea I talked about earlier? There’s no problem for me to implement it on this software since there is no restriction on the number of icons you can use in your logo.

Benefits

The main benefit of using this platform: saving money, while creating beautiful designs. The paid plan provides enough value for your money’s worth.

This software may not have as many features as other tools on the list. Still, the ones it does have are remarkably well done. They give you the perfect opportunity to create the best business logo design possible.

Ease of Use

The tool is really fast and easy to use. It has a very beautiful, yet intuitive interface as well. This makes creating an awesome business logo a piece of cake. But unlike making a cake, you’ll only need a couple of minutes and you’ll be done. Choosing from the stunning designs the tool has is a fun process. What’s not to like?

Support

The company’s support did not grant me the honor of a response… so far. It’s been well over ten days, so I’ve given up on my hopes that I’ll ever hear from them. This is really unprofessional, especially if you really need adequate and quick help from the company.

Maybe they provide better support (or support, as a whole) to paying customers. Alas, I wasn’t able to get information about that from them.

Pricing

• Free
• Premium — $37.97

Online Logo Maker does provide a free version of your logo for download. It is explicitly stated, however, that the free logo is only low-resolution and may not be used for commercial use. So, it’s really more of a sample than an actual logo you can use.

Purchasing the premium version gives you a lot of cool advantages. Vector files (SVG, ESP), transparent backgrounds, exclusive support, and high-resolution (2000 px) logo files.

Features

This online logo maker provides all the additional features you might want to have. Vector files, social media bundle, graphic protection — you name it. All this comes at a price, though. And it’s quite a hefty one.

In order to take advantage of all these neat features, however, you’ll need to subscribe to the Pro or Platinum plans. This means you would need to pay between $99 and $199. Not ideal if you’re on a budget. If money is not an issue, though, GraphicSprings can satisfy all your needs.

Pricing aside, GraphicSprings promotes itself to provide design solutions for small businesses. This includes everything under the sun — magazine covers, gift certificates, book covers, brochures, invoices, flyers, calendars.

Their website also has a cool section called ‘learning’ where you can read about logo design tips, see examples and much more.

Benefits

GraphicSprings is an excellent tool for those lacking experience in creating logos. It can definitely spare you a lot of headaches. You have to be sure it’s the right choice before you decide to use it, though.

Mainly, because the pricing for this one is quite high. This is especially true if you want to have access to more advanced features like vector files and social media images.

Ease of Use

Using this online logo maker is pretty straightforward. Enter the name of your brand, select the category of your business and then the software proposes a bunch of logos for you to choose from. Of course, you can then edit the logo and customize it.

Support

GraphicSprings provides email support and the usual timeframe for response is 24 hours (Monday-Friday) and 72 hours on weekends.

When I contacted their support, I asked four questions and wrote around 200-300 words. The response came in time, but it was just two lines that quite frankly did not answer my questions.

So, I have to give a low rating based on my experience. Had I really been a potential customer and wanted to clarify things before making a purchase, I most probably wouldn’t have purchased anything at all after the inadequate response.

Of course, customer support representatives are rotating like the wheel of fortune. You may hit the jackpot, but you may land on… well, bad stuff. And there are some positive customer reviews regarding good support experience with GraphicSprings.

Pricing

• Basic — $19.99
• Standard — $39.99
• Pro — $99.99
• Platinum — $199.99

GraphicSpring’s basic plan includes only a high-resolution file in jpg. So you need to pay $20 just for one file? A lot of the software on the list offers that for free, some even offer a png file for free. On top of that, you can’t even edit your logo.

Overall, the value you get for your money appears quite low for this plan.

The standard plan features the jpg, png and pdf files. You also have the option for a custom size download, as well as editing your logo at any time.

Getting the pro plan secures you all the features from the standard, plus a lot more. Those include vector files, graphic protections, as well as social media and stationery designs (envelopes, letterheads).

Finally, with the platinum plan, on top of everything else, you get the PSD, EPS, and Ai files.

Both the pro and premium plans include graphic protection, which is supposed to remove the graphic from their database. Still, there are some nasty customer reviews from people who claim that’s not the case at all.

Features

LogoType Maker provides you with the option of using your logo to create a business card or an email signature. Also, you can get social media images and an embed code to insert your logo to your site.

Keep in mind that all these features aren’t free. You need to purchase the premium package to get them.

Then, if you want to edit your logo, the options are nothing to write home about. That said, there are a lot of fonts to choose from, as well as in-depth choices regarding the colors in your logo icon. Another cool feature is the opacity slider and inner shadow switcher.

Ultimately, it will take you some time to customize your logo and finish the overall design.

Benefits

Taking the value-for-money factor under consideration, this tool is one of the best inexpensive logo makers. You can easily create and obtain the files you need.

That’s particularly true if you go for the premium plan which will grant you the whole social media kit, as well as vector files, business card designs and so on. And to be honest, it’s not that pricey, so it could turn out to be just what you’ve been looking for this whole time.

Ease of Use

Using the tool looks quite easy at first glance. You insert your brand name and the logo generator proposes multiple versions you can choose from. Customizing your logo afterward is a bit trickier, though.

If you really want to create your perfect logo, you’ll have to spend some time editing here and there. That can be a bit time-consuming, especially if you’re a beginner. So you would do well to arm yourself with some patience and a nice cup of coffee before starting the process.

Support

LogoType Maker provides live chat, as well as email support. Their representative was quick and clear in answering my questions. Nothing much to say here except — good job, keep it up.

Pricing

• Basic — $2.19/month, $26.28/billed yearly
• Premium — $5.48/month, $65.76/billed yearly

Keep in mind that you need to pay for your subscription upfront on an annual basis. There isn’t an option for monthly payments currently. And, unfortunately, there is no free version of the software at the moment.

The basic plan provides you with both jpg and png files. With the premium plan, you get all the features, including vector files, favicon, business card designs, embed code, social media kit.

Features

DesignMantic is a website dedicated to design. They provide website design, logo design, custom design, and other services, including wedding card designs, monogram designs, social header designs and more.

The features of DesignMantic’s logo maker are also numerous. There are business card designs, letterheads, envelopes, Facebook and Twitter cover designs, T-shirt designs, flyer designs, creating an email signature and so on.

Additionally, the company offers website design templates. In the ‘search logo’ section of their website, you can browse through a cool gallery of already designed logos. And the designs are divided by category, which makes it even easier if you’re looking for inspiration.

Benefits

We are talking about great logo designs here! DesignMantic provides them in spades. Sure, it comes at a price, but you can get your money’s worth, especially if you also want some of the other services they offer like website design.

Even if that’s not the case, and just need a logo – nothing more, the price of the basic plan is affordable enough.

Ease of Use

Creating your own logo with DesignMantic is simple and easy. The generator gives you a plethora of logo designs. And the options to select from are still plenty, ensuring that you can customize your logo to your heart’s content.

The simplicity of the interface is intact, mind you. You kind of get that cozy feeling as if you were sketching designs on an old notebook. Except your hand will not be colored by ink once you’re done.

Support

DesignMantic offers both phone and email support. They provide that support from Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM EST. So, I sent them an email through the contact form on their website. Several hours later, I received an email asking me to provide my phone number. That way, they would be able to call me and answer my queries.

Let’s get this straight, I’m not the type of person who enjoys talking on the phone. I’m sure plenty of people feel the same way. Others have a yet different reason not to want to talk over the phone.

And, of course, since their phone number is listed on the site, I would have called them, if I wanted phone support.

Anyway, I had to reply to the email and explain that I would prefer to conduct the conversation by email. I then eventually received an email answer to my questions but lost a couple of precious hours in the meantime.

The answers themselves were one-liners, and there was an image file attached to the email with some kind of a spring promo bundle they’re offering right now. Along with the promise, I would get a discount for whatever package I wanted. Smells like a sales-driven approach to me and those are always annoying.

Pricing

• Basic — $37
• Standard — $57
• Pro — $97
• Platinum — $197

With the basic package, you get your logo in png, jpg, and pdf (vector file). Choosing the standard plan will provide you with all of that, plus the option to create business card designs. The pro plan, labeled as the best choice, offers the extra features of creating letterheads, envelopes, and Facebook cover designs.

Finally, the ultimate platinum plan gives you the possibility of making twitter cover designs, t-shirt designs, flyer designs, an email signature, and a free matching website design with a 1-year free hosting, included.

Features

The tool doesn’t really provide that much in terms of features. It’s all about being straight to the point — select a symbol for your logo, customize the company name, and slogan, edit the colors, and font, and that’s it.

The process could hardly get any easier than this. And the really cool part is that you don’t need to enter personal data to use the software. No registration, no subscription, no credit cards, no email. Now that’s just awesome.

There are currently more than 1.5 million logos made with LogoFactory Web and there’s actually a gallery where you can view some of the best ones created so far. Who knows, maybe your future logo could earn a spot there too.

Benefits

With LogoFactory Web you won’t waste a second of your valuable time. It doesn’t offer the fancy functionalities of some of the other tools, but it will get the job done. We appreciate that the tool also does its job without asking for your private data. No need to register, subscribe or even give your email.

Ultimately, it’s among the best free online logo makers for beginners who don’t need an overly complicated design.

Ease of Use

This tool is as straightforward as it can get. The logo creator itself is on the main page, so no distractions — just a couple of clicks and tweaks and you have your logo done.

Unfortunately, the site is rather glitchy, so you have to be patient. While this situation is not ideal, it’s understandable, since the tool is completely free. I have to say, though, that the issues mainly occurred on stuff on the site unrelated to the logo maker itself.

Support

There’s a contact form on the website, which unfortunately appears to be broken. First, for some reason, it automatically switches the language to Dutch and when you finally click Send, a pesky 404 error appears, so you can’t really know if your query was sent. By the lack of response, I assume it’s not.

I tried this procedure several times, but it always ended with the same outcome. So, the final verdict is that, in practice, you’re on your own when it comes to support.

In all honesty, though, there’s not much you can possibly enquire about. I reckon a better option for the company would be to make a detailed FAQ or Tutorial section, instead of having a broken contact form.

Pricing

LogoFactory web offers a completely free logo design. The file you get to download is in png format. Nothing more, nothing less.
