Logo, Logo, Logos

Hey Blog World,


LowlaBug Designs got a face lift this week. I put the new logo on EVERYTHING. I am very proud of myself. I have been reading for years about branding yourself and how important it is, but I never really did anything about it. As someone who has enough paper marketing (postcards, business cards, flyers, etc) products to make small corporations blush (thank you Vistaprint). I was ashamed. It was not until I saw Mary from ArtTales logo outside of the twitter world that I realized how important they were. I new that it was her instantly, and she is just 1 of hundreds of people I see on twitter.

My Logo is not fancy. In fact it is the same logo that I have been drawing for 14 years. I am happy with it though.

For those of you who have not created your logo yet and are looking for a simple way to create a logo I suggest Google Documents.

Sidebar:I use google docs for EVERYTHING. They are so simple.

So go into Google Docs and select New Drawing. From there you can insert photos or use shapes to make your shapes. I used the free draw option (Go to the shape drop down and it is the one to right of the "T".) The really nice thing about their free drawing is that it smoothes your lines out for you so they don't look like you drew it in the car.

Once I created my drawing I downloaded it into Picasa and crafted the lettering.

I highly suggest you try it. If you don't have your own shop or you already have a logo but would like to try it out may I suggest making a logo for "Pops Soap Shop." It doesn't exist, but I feel as though it would be a great way to use a bunch of different techniques in Google Drawings.

Go forth and Logo!

Always,
