I just came across this site called LogoYes and had to share it with you all here. This is an amazing little website that makes it actually fun and easy to design a professional-looking logo! I am designing a new website and I knew that I needed a great-looking logo for it, but I kind of dreaded the phase of obtaining a logo, because a) I’m clueless about using Photoshop, and b) I know that professional designers can be really expensive, and you may not always be thrilled with the results. That, plus the time is takes to communicate art direction and the back and forth process before getting a finalized logo - well, you know the drill. It’s a time-consuming and difficult process characterized by compromise and inefficiency.
Sometimes, I wished I could just do it myself. I have a picture in my mind, and I want to just make that happen. The problem with graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks is that they take a lot of time to learn, and you need very specialized skills to get a great result. I’ve always wished there were a "Logos For Dummys" tool where anyone could go in, take a picture or image they have in their mind, and create a great looking logo.
Well, that’s when I heard about this great site LogoYes. My designer friend Chris twitter’ed this link for a DIY logo site and I checked it out. Within a few minutes, I was hooked. It gives you a step by step process where you can choose from different types of logos, such as Tech, or Bold, or Flair, then drill down into specific images and shapes that you think represent your site and brand.
