What images or icons will be available for use in creating my custoom logo? Do you use generic clipart like many of your competitors?
Each LogoMaker symbol has been custom created by LogoMaker designers, specifically for logo design. Each of unique images is divided into three categories; symbol based categorized by industry (such as a tree or a house), alphanumeric (A-Z and 1-9), or shape-based/abstracts (pyramids, swooshes, globes, etc.). LogoMaker has the most extensive in-house designed image library of any customer logo creator.

How many logos can I create and purchase?
The great thing about LogoMaker is that you can create any number of custom logos you like before you purchase (you can save up to six in your personal account). Just save each custom designed logo under your profile and purchase the ones that you like.

What if I would like to ask colleagues or friends for their opinions before purchasing prospective custom logos?
You can save up to six custom logos and use the “Ask a Friend” option to receive feedback on your custom designed logo from your friends. Your friends simply open a URL included with an email, vote on the best logo design, and then you access their responses through LogoMaker’s unique feedback review under your account information.

Can I trademark my logo?
Yes, your logo can be trademarked. Trademarked logos are not just the image itself, but a combination of image, company name, colors, and layout. The rights for the image itself are retained by LogoMaker. The symbols will remain on the database for possible further use.

The trademark notation (TM) serves notice that you are using your logo in respect with your goods and services. Federal registration (®) of your custom created logo requires submission to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office plus an application fee. Online firms, such as www.legalzoom.com, are a good source of information and can assist you in trademarking your logo. (Customers outside the United States should check local laws.)

After I purchase my custom logo, how do I get it?
Immediately after purchasing your online custom designed logo, you can download your logo in any of the file formats listed below.

What file formats can I get my custom logo available in?
JPEG, EPS, TIFF, and GIF.

JPEG: High quality “bitmap” or “pixelated” version of your logo suitable for use in electronic documentation and web pages.

EPS: “Vector” artwork version of logo for professional applications such as printing, signage, and embroidery. This file type requires Adobe Illustrator or similar package.

GIF: “Bitmap” version with a transparent background – great for use on websites with background colors other than white.

TIFF: Uses CMYK color matching at 300 DPI resolution.

You own all four file types, so download and save for future use of your online designed logo.

How many colors are available for my custom logo?
LogoMaker uses Pantone colors for creating your logo. Pantone has several thousand colors available for use from an easy-to-use color selection tool making the creation and customization of your logo simple. (The TIFF format is saved in CMYK format for easy printing on business cards and letterhead).
