I like logos. Website logos, specifically.

It’s amazing to see how that one small element can change a website design so dramatically (in a good way).

My impression, when I originally researched designing a logo for Planet BnB, were that, creating a logo involved hiring a web designer and dropping an armload of cash.

After some lengthly online research, I found this wasn’t the case. There were actually several websites online that rendered logos, for free. (Our original Planet BnB logo, in all it’s glory, was created online using one of these sites.)

The process was as simple as visiting a website, typing in my site’s name, choosing a typeface font design & color, and clicking ‘Render Logo’ button.

Here, let me give you an example..

Let’s say a guy named ‘Ho Hum’ owns a B&B. And he wants a logo, but nothing fancy. Here’s an example logo he could create online, for free:

it’s that easy.

Some sites offer more font faces than others. And some even throw in alt graphics into your logo, if that’s something you’re into.

For your reference, though, here are a few sites we played around with, originally, to create our ours - hopefully it’ll help you add a neat design element to your site, if you’re looking to snazz it up a bit:

• Cool Text Graphics Generator - where our original logo came from
• Cool Archive Logo Generator — note, site has a few pop-ups
• Web 2.0 Free Logo Generator — where the example above came from
