With the principles of designing a logo, let’s introduce how to design it. I recommend two tools.
The first one is a tool that allows you to design a logo online, such as hatchful, which is officially recommended by Shopify. It is a free application for building a visual image from scratch. You just need to answer a few questions about your business and hatchful will provide you with customized testimonial examples. From the recommended examples, you can customize your brand’s colors, fonts, and download all the branding assets you need, including images in sizes for all social media platforms. This tool supports Chinese. The entire process is demonstrated below.
The first step, click the “GET STARTED” button.
The second step, select your business space, assuming that your independent website sells beauty products product, you select the “Health and Beauty” option and click the “Next” button.
The third step is to choose a visual style that you think is suitable for the independent website products, such as your independent website selling beauty. For makeup products, if you like the logo style of KYLIE COSMETICS (the makeup brand of American “Internet celebrity” Kylie Jenner), then choose the “bold” style to try. If you don’t like the designed logo, then You can return to this step and choose again.
The fourth step is to enter the name of your Shopify independent station in the “Business Name” text box. Note: The name here should be consistent with your first-level domain name. Or it’s an acronym, or there’s some overlap. Assuming that the independent beauty station is called “rainbowmakeup”, I suggest you not write the content of the “Slogan” text box if you don’t know how to write it, and then click the “Next” button.
The fifth step is to operate a Shopify independent station. Generally, you can choose the two options of “Online Store or Website” and “Social Media”, and then click the “Next” button.
The sixth step, here are the various logos automatically designed for you by the website. You can choose the one you think is suitable, and then click the “Next” button.
The seventh step. In this step, you can modify the logo selected in step 6. You can modify the name, font and color until you are satisfied with the modification, then you can click the “Next” button. If you are not satisfied, click “Return”. button to return to the previous step.
Step 8: After the system generates the modified logo, you can download it.
Step 9: If you want to download these logos, you still have to download it. To register an account for this website, you only need to enter your email and password, which is relatively simple.
There are other similar tools, and the operation methods are similar to hatchful.
Second. The first is Canva, a powerful online image editing tool. Click the “Logo” button.
Then you can see that there are many function bars on the left side of the page.
I recommend that you have no design foundation. When a seller selects a template, many logo templates will appear on the right side of the page.
For example, after I select the “XOXO COSMETICS” template, this template will appear in the creation picture on the right.
Modify the store name based on this template. Whenever a part is selected, a button for modification will appear at the top of the page.
For example, there are many fonts for me to choose from in the font library.
Then, I modify the logo I want. After it is done, I can download it. If you need a transparent background, etc., you need to join the membership, which means you have to pay extra.
In short, Canva has many templates and various materials for you to choose from. Generally speaking, it is enough to use those free materials.
What needs to be reminded is that if you don’t know how to design a logo, you can study the independent website logos of 3-5 competitors. The most important thing is that you have to design a few logos and put them into your website. Shopilr stands alone to see the actual effect, and then choose the one that looks most pleasing to the eye. There is no need to get entangled, and there is no need to strive for perfection in the logo.
