I love “do it online” software. It allows you to be productive even with a laptop bought 10 minutes ago, without any installed software, or from an internet cafè.

Online Logo Maker is one of these tools, and I am going to take a test drive.

As the name suggests, it’s a free online logo creator

Ricardo Lopes, the author, needs some feedback so you are welcome to test it.

The first thing I liked is it does not require you to register to create a logo. Some similar tools actually take more time to register than to enjoy… So you can immediatly start your logo from scratch.

This is the work area:

This is where you will draw your logo, and you can make three basic actions:

1) Uploading an image from your hard disk

2) Adding a custom shape from the library. As you can see in this picture, the library provides a wide range of shapes ready to be part of your logo

3) Adding text

Then a control panel will allow you to modify, paint, and adjust the text and every object that forms your logo.

The whole process is very easy and you can really create your logo in a matter of minutes.

This is the logo of an airline company I own, made with Online Logo Maker and automatically exported

Online Logo Maker automatically exports your logo in png format with transparent background. That’s great.

There are a couple of things I would like to see, anyway… first I think an Undo button is necessary when working on complex projects… then I would be interesting having a gradient fill.

All in all, an easy way to make custom logos for free. Try it and give Ricardo feedback.
