How I create a logo

Hello Fellow Affiliates

The reasons why I wanted to create a logo for my website was to stand out from the crowd, and enable branding of my website and niche, as time progresses, wanting that uniqueness associated with my website, something simple, yet eye catching.

I first visited many websites, for building a logo,but it was all so generic and commercial,

I wanted something original and unique, so I drew on a piece of paper, what I thought my logo should look like, knowing that I will not be violating some copyright laws, and paying some designer for their ideas.

I made lots of changes, although it does not look like one can change much on a simple idea such as mine, but believe me, if I pasted all my variations, here, there would not be enough space on this blog Hahahaha,

I wanted something simple, catchy, the logo itself started out as only the vm&r section with the car, and not the whole name at the bottom of it, the name was just put in to clarify what the 3 letters meant.

But it all worked well together, I decided to keep the lot, the end result, the last one in the examples below.

I then scanned in my hand drawing(Laughable, above) and started making changes in Microsoft Paint, and finally Microsoft Word to add the final effect.

What you see below here is the end result,

I like the boldness of the vm&r and how it really stands out as if in a shiny black metal, all the shades of Grey and Black.

The way the car almost fades into the background to once again emphasise the main lettering, and how it blends in naturally with each other to deliver the final result, this could never be achieved with colour.

I am particularly proud of my motto, "In Helping Others We Prosper" Something I practice daily.

In a previous blog I asked for opinions and comments, of which I received a few and I started to doubt whether simplicity is actually the answer, many suggested some colour.

I added some colour, but the logo just seemed to lose its authenticity and uniqueness

It took me about 3 weeks to reach the end result seen here, working on it only about 4 days, approx.2 hours each, that is a total of 8 hours. it cost me no money for any extra software and logo website subscriptions, just a little creativity and time.

I encourage you to give it a try, logo's are very unique to brands, looking at :-

• Amazon,
• McDonald's
• Nike,

just to name a few, such simple ideas, but recognised globally, and everyone starts somewhere, small, and has the potential to grow out into something huge.

But if we do nothing, then nothing will happen.

I have no doubt this Logo will work for me as I will now incorporate it into all my posts, pages on my website and social media communications, to get it out there, I have a good feeling about this logo.

All the best
