About the Logo Maker (Basic)
Not every project needs a professional brand identity from day one — sometimes you just need a clean, simple wordmark or icon-based logo to put on a landing page while the real thing is still being figured out. This basic logo maker combines a short text name with a simple icon shape and a color scheme, and exports the result as a downloadable image.
How it works
Type your brand or project name, choose a display font, pick an icon shape to sit alongside or behind the text, and set your color scheme. The tool composes all three elements on an in-browser canvas with adjustable spacing and sizing, giving you a live preview you can iterate on freely. Once it looks right, export it as a transparent PNG or as clean SVG markup, depending on where you plan to use it.
Common use cases
- Creating a placeholder logo for an early-stage landing page or MVP
- Making a simple wordmark for a side project, newsletter, or community
- Generating a quick icon-based mark to use as a favicon source or social avatar
- Testing how a project name looks paired with different fonts and colors before hiring a designer
- Producing a lightweight SVG logo that scales cleanly at any size
Tips for best results
Short names and single-word marks tend to work best at small sizes like a favicon or social avatar, so if your full name is long, consider using just an initial or short abbreviation for the icon-based version. Stick to two colors maximum for a simple, professional look — more than that starts to feel busy at logo scale. Once you've settled on a professional logo separately, this same tool remains useful for generating quick secondary marks, like a simplified icon-only version for a favicon or a stacked layout for a square social media avatar.
Frequently asked questions
This tool is meant for quick, simple wordmarks and placeholder logos — for a brand that will be around long-term or needs a distinctive, trademarkable identity, a professional designer will produce a far more considered and unique result.
You can export a transparent PNG, suitable for direct use on websites and social profiles, or clean SVG markup, which scales to any size without quality loss and is easy to further edit in a vector tool.
The current version offers a curated set of simple geometric and symbol-based icon shapes. For a fully custom icon, design it separately and use the Favicon Generator or an image editor to combine it with your wordmark.
Because it's generated from a limited set of shapes, fonts, and colors, there's a real chance another user could produce something visually similar. Treat this as a starting point or placeholder rather than a final, protectable brand mark.
Yes — the layout controls include independent spacing and alignment options so you can adjust how tightly the icon sits next to the text, or stack them vertically instead of horizontally.
