That fits the feeling you want your Brand to convey what do you want your Brand to feel like do you want it to be More corporate and professional or more Fun and Casual more elegant or more Simple you'll probably want to just look At some different fonts you can also Look at inspo on Pinterest or just on The different templates that canva has Built in for this example I'm going to Use the font gordita and I'm going to Apply that to both parts of the logo Here next figure out how you want to Arrange your Design Elements whether You're using an icon or simply the name Of your business or the initials of Yourself or your business figure out how You want to put these together into your Logo so I'm thinking to put these things Into a circle so we're going to click on Effects and I'm going to put them in a Curve so the bottom part I'll want to Curve this way and then the top part Which will be you my name I'm going to Curve the opposite way and it's really Convenient that canva provides these Circles because you can make them match And actually form a circle but I think It will look better if I make this be All cap so I'm going to click on these Three dots here and just choose this That will make it all uppercase and same Thing here and then what I'm going to do Continuing to play with the layout here
Is I'm going to choose a smaller font Size maybe down to about 24 for both of Them but then increase the kerning which Is the space between the letters so to Do this you just click on the font and Then you choose this spacing button and Then you can adjust the letter spacing Like this so let's go for I'm going to Be fairly spread I'm going to need to Change the shape of my circle though Because this isn't quite working how I Want it to okay so let's make this so That it will actually form a circle step Number six is to refine the size sizes Layout and spacing to bring it all Together and make it look nice and Polished once you have the spacing and The typography the way you want it then To bring it all together I'm going to go Ahead and add an icon into the center of This and my idea for this icon is to Just use my initials GP so I'm going to Go ahead and add some more text and I'll Just use the heading here so I'll type A G and a p and then I'm going to use Font Called yosefin and we're going to make This a lot larger and there you have it A custom design logo you did yourself in Just a few minutes and for free and the Final step is to download Your Design Before you do that here's a couple Little tips first of all we're going to Grab this whole thing and we're going to Make it larger so that it fills this
Space a little better and we're going to Center it but the other thing you're Going to do is export it with a Transparent background so that you don't Always have this white square behind it So you just click on share and then Click on download and then you can check The transparent background so I would Recommend downloading it as a PNG but You'll also want to download it as an SVG file type because that is a vector Image that you'll be able to scale or Change the size of without distorting The design again choose that transparent Background option but if you don't have A paid account you can still easily Remove the background just by going to Remove dot BG and this website allows You to remove the background of your Logo if you're interested in getting Started working for yourself and even Starting your own online business then Check out my free video course small Business 101. in this free course I Teach all the basics of how to legally Start your own business how to set up Your website develop your branding and Even start attracting your first Customers you can sign up for the free Course right now at gillianperkins.com 101.
