As a web designer, logo making is part of my work. Designing the layout of a website is pretty easy compared to designing a logo. Logo design is a very delicate process as it must conform to what the client’s business is about. You can’t just give them a logo without giving it careful consideration, everything has to be perfect with regards to what the client needs. You have to have insight so that you will be able to see beforehand how people will react to the logo when they see it. Will your logo reflect your client’s business in one glance? Will it be worth a second glance?

Needless to say, logo making is a very hard process for the inexperienced. So being inexperienced, I browsed the web for some help, the angels must be smiling on me because I was able to find a DIY Logo Design site. I tried it for the logo of my father’s construction business and this is what I came up:

The process was straightforward and very easy to follow. And there are a number of great symbols/images to choose from, enough to get your creative juices flowing.
