Branding.
And a vital part of branding your business is creating an effective logo.

Now that you know that, another question that might come to your mind is:
How do I create the best possible logo for my business?
Because let’s be honest, some logos are just awful. You definitely want to have the logo that attracts people to your business.
In a moment, I’ll show you how to design an amazing logo and create your brand with Tailor Brands.
Tailor Brands: How to Design an Amazing Logo & Create Your Brand
Benefits of a professional logo for your business
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, check out some benefits of a professional logo:
You probably know this company already. And seeing that logo brings all the memories you have about this company.
But just so we’re clear, I’ll spell out some of the benefits of a professional logo below:
- Creates a strong first impression: a customer starts judging your business as soon as they land on your website. A great logo creates a great first impression and helps to pull your visitors in. It piques their curiosity and they want to know more about your business.
- It’s your brand identity: if you have a store or sell a product, the main thing people see is your logo. You have no opportunity to write stories about your brand. But a great logo will do that and bring up memories in your customer. It also shows how you’re different from your competitors.
- Increases brand loyalty: having a professional logo creates consistency for your customers. When they see your logo, they know they can expect the stellar service you’ve always provided. Therefore, they stick around.
How to create your business logo
Let’s get this out of the way: there’s no single way to create a logo that’s best for everyone. You have to understand your brand and pick a logo that best represents your voice.
In most cases, logos are done in 3 forms:
- Name of the company (for example, Coca-Cola)
- Icon (for example, Apple)
- Company initials (for example, IBM)
Having said that, what are the points to keep in mind while creating your business logo?
- Find a logo maker: will you use a designer? Are you going for an online logo maker? You have to decide which of these options to go for.
- Simplicity is the key: a simple logo gets stuck in people’s brains because they’re easily recognizable. Build a logo that your visitors will be able to draw after seeing it once.
- Integrate your company’s voice: does your company want to be known as modern, or reliable, or conservative, or innovative? This will affect your logo’s design and style.
Stress-free and effective logo design with Tailor Brands
As a business owner or marketer, three questions that come to your mind about your business logo is:
- How do I find a logo designer?
- How long will the design process take?
- How much will it cost?
Well, what if you donโt have to worry about all these questions?
With a service like Tailor Brands, you can create a professional logo for your business in a few minutes.
Did I tell you this can be done without great design skills? And a subscription plan costs much less than what a logo designer will take from you.
The good news though, is that youโll have similar results.
And it gets better.
Added to creating a logo, Tailor Brands also provides other tools that you can use to improve your business branding. For instance, you can create business cards, presentations, and other branding pieces of content.

Iโll explore all of these options in a moment. In the meantime, letโs see how you can create a professional logo for your business brand using Tailor Brands.
You can start creating your logo immediately you land on the Tailor Brands website.
Enter your logo name and your tag. Then click on the “Design” button.
On the next page, you can enter your industry and the service you render. This will help Tailor Brands pick a suitable design for you.
Once you’re done with this, go to the next page where you can select the type of logo you want to create. I’ve selected initial-based for my design here.
After this, you’ll see different styles and pick those you like. You’ll continue doing this until the bar reaches 100%. This will determine the recommended designs later on.
After this, you’ll see a page showing progress as Tailor Brands creates branding elements for your brand. At the end of this process, you’ll be asked to register if you’re a new user. If you already have an account, you can log in to continue.
We’re now in the third of the 5 stages. And that’s the design stage. Here, you can let your creative mind run wild. You can see many designs here based on the styles you’ve selected earlier.
Scrolling down, I can see another design:
You can customize it to give it a better look or click on “Love it!” Apart from your design, you’ll see similar or different designs based on where you move the bar.
Click on “Edit” to redesign the different parts of your logo.
You can also click on “Icon” if you prefer to use it instead of the initials.
You can hide the tagline. Here, I want to remove the “logo maker” text from my logo. You also have an option to hide your symbol which is the “NBL” text.
Here, I want to remove the “new business logo” text too just to make the logo as simple as possible. But since there’s no direct way to remove it here, what I’ve done is click on the text and change its opacity from 1 to 0. And the result is that I only have the “NBL” symbol now.
You can now customize the symbol further. You can rotate the symbol, change the size, colour, and even the font.
I’ve seen a beautiful font here that I’ve decided to use.
After doing this, you can now click on “Finish” at the top right corner. This will take you to Tailor Brands plans where you can select one of 3 plans. You have the Basic, the Standard, and the Premium plan.

You’ll also see the features for each plan. You can get 70% off on Tailor Brands plans if you pay annually and 75% off if you pay once in 2 years compared to monthly plans. The basic plan goes for $3.99 per month if you pay annually. The standard plan goes for $9.99 while the premium plan goes for $15.99.
I’ve selected the standard plan here. You can either pay with your Mastercard or PayPal. If you have a coupon, you can apply it here to get a lower price.
When you’re through with the payment, you’ll see a notification of successful subscription.
