The logo. You need a name to distinguish you from the pack.
I love the 2 syllable rule, think Google, Apple, Samsung, Netflix. Once the name is selected, and of course, once you also know what problem you’ll be solving with your business, its an exciting them. The logo.
Designing the logo I’ve found, is one of the most exciting times in the beginning stages of building a brand or business.
This fun stage can bring some stress. Not knowing who to hire, where to start or how to design the logo.
So here are a few steps and resources to help you on your journey.

Logojoy
A web based app that will have you walking away from your computer with an icon and wordmark for your business. Logojoy helps you find inspiration, has endless free mockups, high resolution files once you’re done designing (same goes for Squarespace) and only pay a low free once you’re all done.

With Canva you can find an icon, find the perfect font and slogan, put them all together and have your fresh new logo done in minutes, save the files and keep moving and for free I might add.
So, after you know what your company’s mission, name and vibes are, here are the tools that can help you get the logo done quick fast so you can get to other things like marketing, reading, writing or a nice nap.
