You have to spend time promoting your blog and build a brand around your blog. In order to build a credible brand, you are going to need a decent logo. It’s not everything you need to be concerned about, but it’s a must have. I don’t know about you, but I don’t take sites that do not have any logo at all that seriously. I have heard all possible excuses for not having a logo on a WordPress blog, but if you are a blogger, and you don’t have a logo on your blog, you’ve got to make one now.
There are plenty of ways to get a logo for your blog. You can always design one for yourself though I wouldn’t recommend it if you are not a designer. You can use a DIY logo service to design a generic logo for your blog. Or you can use a custom-designed logo to set yourself apart from everyone else. I do recommend DIY solutions for beginners, but if you have been blogging for a while and have a clear long-term plan for your blog, you should settle for a custom-designed logo. With that in mind, here are 4 cool blog logo design services that make things easy:
LogoYes: an innovative service that lets you design your own logo from generic images. You can build your logo around symbols, images, or letters. You can also search through images based on your industry. Very easy to use and saves you time too.

In the part II of this series, I talked about how you can use LogoMaker to create your very own WordPress logo. LogoMaker is a great solution, but what if you are not satisfied with the abstract logos that you get with LogoMaker. You can always try LogoYes. In fact, LogoYes is the site that I used to develop the logo for my start-up company. The quality of logos are slightly better than those provided by LogoMaker, and the interface is as user-friendly.
LogoYes’ design process is very similar to that of LogoMaker. Essentially, you are provided with three classes of designs to choose for your logo. If you are a high-tech company, you may want to choose the high-tech class, and you can use the same approach if you are in other industries. Once you have chosen your design class, you are provided with a list of industries that you can choose for your business.
Once you choose your symbol, you get the chance to add text to it (similar to LogoMaker). Here is where LogoYes defers from LogoMaker. You have a sub-class under each class, and as a result you have access to more abstract logos here (all the logos are black and white until you change them).
Once you have chosen your image, you get a chance to add text and customize its look. You are provided with the design canvas which you can use to resize your images, flip your logo, or change its color.
Once you have chosen your logo, you can then get a chance to design your business card as well. LogoYes has a comprehensive business card design program that allows you to find the design that is right for you.
LogoYes is an innovative Do it yourself logo solution for anyone interested in designing logos for cheap. You don’t have to break the bank to get your logo and business cards. The application is very easy to use, and you get to save and edit your logo until you decide to download it (you are provided with different file formats including EPS). If you are starting a new blog, and you are passionate about it, you may want to invest a little to start your branding as soon as possible.
In part IV, I’ll talk about some other solutions that you can use to design your own logo.

In the first part of this series, I talked about the three approaches that you can take to create a logo for your WordPress blog. As promised, I am going to discuss how you can build one for your blog fast using online self-service logo services. LogoMaker by HP is an innovative logo design service that allows you to get started with your design fast.
LogoMaker allows you to choose your business category and based on that, you are provided with a set of images to choose for your logo design. The designs will be based on:
For instance, you can find the above images under the real estate category (these are symbol based). Once you have chosen your favorite image, you can add it to the design canvas for further changes. You can then add text to your logo, change color, and styles easily using LogoMaker’s interface.
LogoMaker makes it easy to rotate the image, change its size, or even change its color (even in parts). You can also choose from all kinds of fonts to customize your text section. Once you are finished with this part, you can save your logo. You can then decide to test the logo for free for a certain period of time. LogoMaker provides you with a script that you put on your site for free for the testing period. If you decide to buy your logo, you are provided with standard versions of your logo to download (jpeg, gif, eps, tiff).
Overall, LogoMaker is so easy to use even a caveman can do it. You can be absolutely new to the world of design and still create attractive logos with LogoMaker. The prices are low too which makes LogoMaker very affordable.
Stay tuned for part III, where I talk about yet another solution you can use to design your logo fast.
