what's going on guys my name is dale from creatorpro website in this video i'm going to show you how to make a logo for free in just five minutes by the end of this video you'll be able to make logos like this without any experience necessary and there's no software needed it's all done on your web browser and by the way for any of my subscribers that have been following along with us for our move into the new space as you can see we are still a work in progress this is not the way the studio is going to stay it's going to transform over the next few videos so let's get started step number one is to click on the very first link in the description or you can just go over to your web browser and type in logo maker without the e.com and then you can just go ahead and cancel out of this little tutorial so i'm going to show you how to use it so first off a quick overview is that you can search for any icon you want just by clicking up here in this little bar or you can add text and shapes over here and change your colors over here so now we can move on to step number two which is to create an icon so to do this just go up to the search bar up here and you can type in anything that you want now i'm going to be making a logo for a fake men's grooming and fashion website just to show you so what you can do first is actually click on this browse all logos button and there's all different categories up here like abstract shapes nature and so on or you can just type in anything that you want so for this logo itself i'm going to be typing in something like bowtie and then you've just got thousands and thousands of different bow ties to choose from and this is with any category whatever it is that your business is you're going to have almost limitless options so i'm going to go ahead and choose this one right here so you just click on it and it will drop it into your project and you can resize it just by dragging on the corner and pulling out or going down and you can move it around just by clicking and dragging now i'm going to make this a little bit smaller and we want to make this logo a bit more unique so i'm going to go up and grab another one so i'm just going to type in let's say hair and i'm just going to grab one of these first ones right here like this one and what i'm going to do is just move this up and i'm going to put text in between right here so this is what i really recommend doing is taking multiple icons and combining them to make a more unique logo if you don't like any of the ones that come with logo maker okay so now we can move on to step number three which is to add your brand name so to do this you can just go over here and click on the little text button and that's going to drop in some text for you and i'm just going to type in clean cut that's going to be my new brand name and you can just resize it by clicking and dragging or you can move it around so if you click off and then click back on you can drag it around and you're going to get these little guidelines that are going to let you know when it's in the center and it's going to snap and if you don't like the stock blue that it comes with you can just go ahead and click on the text and then drag over here in the color wheel all the way down to black now you can also change the font so if i just go up here you've got a font category and then a font family so the font category you've got all different types you could do fun and funky and get some really crazy ones in here but to be honest i like to stick with more simple and modern looks they look a little bit more professional but it's going to depend on your brand so i'm going to go ahead and click on simple and modern and then i'm going to go over to the font family and just select a new one let's say this one so now let's go ahead and make your brand name a little bit more unique so what i'm going to do is just click on the text again and i'm going to type in cut by itself and i'm just going to drag that out so we can see it and i'm going to make it black and then i'm going to change the font family to something a little bit more bold let's say like this one just like that and i'm going to delete cut out of this one so i'm just going to type clean and then i'm just going to move it over just a little bit and put cut next to it and then size it up just like that maybe resize this one a little bit and there we go and now if you click and drag a box you can drag them both around at the same time so i'm just going to make sure that these are centered like that maybe drag my hair down a little bit and my bow tie up a little bit and that is a pretty good looking logo right there and the reason i chose both of these fonts is because cut being bold makes the word clean look a lot more minimal and clean so now we can move on to step number four which is to select your colors so this can be done very simple so what i'm going to do is just click on the word cut and then go over to the color wheel here and if you just click on this little outside wheel you can change the hue to anything that you want and then you've got the saturation and lightness in this box here so what i'm going to do is select a blue color maybe something like that and then select kind of a dark desaturated version of this blue something like that and that could be my company colors right there and you can do this to the text and the icons themselves so now let's move on to step number five which is to download your logo so to do this you just go up to the little save button up here at the top right and click on that and then you can see it's going to ask you to buy this high resolution file for 19 bucks but there is a button down here that says no thanks download the low resolution file and you just have to credit logo maker you could put it somewhere small on your website really doesn't matter so you can go ahead and click no thanks download the low resolution file and that is going to hit your downloads right there so now i'll just go to where that image is in this case i just put it on my desktop but you've got your image right here and this is a png meaning that it's going to have a transparent background so you can put it on top of anything and only the icon and the text are going to show through and one more quick tip is that if you want to go back and edit your logo at any time just go back to logo maker and just copy this little url down here by hitting this button right here and then save it somewhere where you can access it because if you type that into your browser again you can go back at any point and edit it alright guys so that was how to create a logo for free next if you'd like to learn how to make a website just
