Don't get me wrong; your logo is not just for your blog. You will also use it on your social media pages - Twitter, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, etc. Logo helps spread the word about your blog and personal product.
Why Do We Need a Logo?
For better or worse, there are millions of other bloggers out there, and chances are whatever you plan to write has been covered before. In fact, there are more than 20 billion blog post views on online users who regularly read blog posts for information.
When people first come to your site, they will need a way to remember you from all the other blogs in your niche. If you have lost a student, there is little chance that they will find you again, unless you have a logo - a visual clue - that will help them to do so.
Additionally, having a blog logo will help you-
Make a good first impression. Properly constructed, it will immediately arouse the interest of your readers and encourage them to explore your site.
Set yourself as an authority. Logo tells your readers that your blog is professional, and that you deserve to write about the topics you have.
Create product recognition. As part of your product, the logo will help you stand out in your niche and build recognition among your readers.
Create a product identity. Your logo is the basis of your brand, and will help you create emotional interactions with your audience that transform them into loyal readers.
5 Easy Steps to Design a Logo for Your Blog
- Think about your Readers.
- Choose a color
- Choose the right font.
- Make a few versions.
- Choose a logo design tool
Think about your students
This is the most important part of your entire logo design process, as it will inform you of all the other decisions you make in the next steps.
Whether it is a lifestyle, fashion, travel or personal blog, the logo you are designing needs to fit your specific audience in order to function properly.
Think about your own topic, and think about who your favorite reader is. What kind of people will draw you to your blog? Who do you hope to reach? Try to write down specific details that identify your audience, including suspicious numbers and interests.
Make sure you have a good idea of the people your blog aims to attract before moving on to Step 2.
Choose Color scheme
The colors you use in your logo should match or match the color scheme of your blog or themes.
The important thing to know is that the colors you choose will convey a certain set of emotions to your audience. Each color has its own "personality", and, in turn, influences people to feel awkward or think about something. For example, red fosters love and power, while blue fosters trust, strength, and loyalty. Do your research on color psychology before deciding on the color palette of your logo.
Choose the Right Font
If you have decided to go with the logo of your blog name, this step is the bread and butter of your logo. Your font will be the main visual element of your target audience, so you will want to choose the one that best reflects your blog and brand personality.
There are 4 main types of fonts used in logos, although blog logos tend to prefer script fonts and custom type to provide an extra level of creativity in design.
That means, like colors, the font (s) you use should match your blog audience. Also, this depends on the context of your blog; large, funny display fonts, for example, would not be suitable for a blog about tax information or accounting. If you are using a travel blog, however, fun, sound writing can be the right move.
Also, make sure you consider clarity; some fonts - especially the "creative" ones that control blog logs - can be difficult to read, defeating the purpose of having a blog logo.
Remember that your website visitors should be able to read and see the name of your blog in the logo at a glance, so if it is a choice between a cool font and a clear but readable font, go with the latest.
Make a few versions
At this point, you should have decided on each element of your design (including an icon when using one). Now, it's time to take a look at several designs of your logo and decide which ones will look good on your website.
You may want to play with shades of the same color palette or fonts from the same family to make sure each element works well together.
Also, create a few different layouts and customize the elements of each element. Does the logo work best with front and center text? What about your icon on the right? Design 4 or 5 versions of your logo and see which one best tells the story of your blog.
Choose a logo design tool
Once you have an idea of what your logo will look like, it's time to really create it!
If you want to go DIY route, you can use design tools like Photoshop, web-based logo makers or software, or try logo maker apps if you need to design on the go.

Here are a few of my favorite forums
Adobe Photoshop — Adobe is a functional tool used by designers. You can make professional logos, but you will need to pay for the software - and there is a learning curve to become a software expert. If you do not have experience in graphic design, this may not be the best option for you.
PicMonkey — PicMonkey is a great tool. It's free to use and offers online logo maker. It doesn't have all the tools and Photoshop whistles, but you can make a decent logo with it nonetheless.
Canva — This is another design platform with a logo maker option. Although its main focus is design templates for social media, you can use it to create a logo for your blog as well.
