i just noticed most bloggers design their own logo for their blog. It's a nice thing because you can carve a logo that really suits your taste. For my blog I usually hire designers because I have no talent in photoshopping, how bout you?

    I did the logo myself. It is really simple.

      You said it Ahamed.
      Being a graphic designer, I definitely do my own logos. But I encourage non-designers to do their own logos, business cards, etc., if you can't afford a designer. Even if you have the money, it's still good to know that you have the capacity to create with your own hands.
      I believe you don't have to be a artist to be a designer.

    I'm just in the process of getting a friend of a friend (graphic designer) to do me a simple logo ...
    The one up there is on trial right now ... I got sick of just text and wanted something a bit professional, but simple.

    I just have a tiny picture of a girl in a mobster costume. I took the picture so I guess that counts. My blog is super simple, so nothing fancy needed.

    An art student named Scott Donaldson (scottdonaldson.wordpress.com/) designed mine. He's doing other illustrations for me as well.

    I did the logo. It's pretty straightforward but I like it a lot.
  9. avecchioni
    Pretty simple logo. I did the design.

    For my humor blog, I did the original logo and then during a recent template redesign, the designer improved it for me.

    I did, and im very happy with it at the moment

    My web designer did, for branding and consistency's sake. I expanded the same look and feel to our Twitter and MySpace accounts, to keep everything uniform.

    It isn't fancy or anything but yeah, I did it myself.

    The guy who designed the whole blog template
    I still have to think about what I'm going to do with the logo, if I'm going to add something or not.

  17. sahar
    I like things simple, so I did my own.

    by logo do you mean header, or an actual logo logo?
  19. ophase
    I use my own designs also..
    But the first objective is always spending minimum time on design things, bcs blogging means content for me.

    All mine are combined efforts. On my Jamaica blog all the banners are actual photo's I've taken in Jamaica and my son does all the photoshopping on them. I said "all" my banners because I switch the banner every month or so. Just to keep the look fresh and new.

    Kim Maki @ RetroKimmer.com designed the logo (header) and the layout for both of my blogs. She did an excellent job. I am very pleased with the look of my blogs.

  22. Larissa31

  23. retrokimmer
    Thanks MEME my daughter is Gullacass she does a lot of my art on my personal blogs.

    My music blog doesn't have a logo, just text at the top. I created the header at the top of the music site that accompanies the blog in Gimp and will probably make a similarly styled one for the blog in the near future.
  25. MelvinD
    my logo in my personal blog melvinblog.com has been done by a professional designer and on some of my niche sites, I have them outsourced as well...
  26. HolisticMommy
    I just use really great pictures as a background -- I like how mine looks

    I design all my own logos using the Gimp. It's like Photoshop, but it's smaller and it is free.

      I tried Gimp and found it confusing. Admittedly, I am not a graphics whiz but I've used most of the major programs at one time or another and just couldn't get going with Gimp. I ended up with a freeware program called Paint.net. If you want to have some fun, try sTile.
    2. flamingpoodle
      Yes, that's understandable. I couldn't wrap my head around Photoshop for a very long time, so I learnt GIMP first. I found it easier, and after learning that Photoshop was a sinch.

    I came up with half of the idea and my friend thought of the other half and he put it together.

    my logo was designed by logoangel.com and offered for free in exchange of a text link on one of my blogs.

    I made 2 of mine at Kaye's Place and at Pure Faith. I especially liked the flying eagle, took me ages to figure that out.
    lovely day people!

    Me. Took a free image of the NYSE facade and--with MSPaint--replaced the American flag with the red banner of socialism, to protest TARP
