A great video addressing the topic of logo creation according to me. As a bookstagrammer I've been wanting to get my own website created on Canva, so was just searching to get started on designing a logo, definitely helpful video... The best tips I've found is that of resizing the logo, saving it in SVG format for best quality of logo and having multiple variations of the logo.

This was crazy helpful Jacqui. I appreciate the advice, this made creating my logo a breeze!!! The tip for the SVP and the resizing was gold.

Great piece of insight, I was planning to launch a new website on the back of an element gathered from Canva for a logo. Was shocked to see how many other companies are using it. I will now tweak to make it unique to me.

[AshishSharma-dcum]

Best one I have seen thus far. Thank you for being concise, clear, and keeping it simple and effective!

[stellalovesskz]

This video was so helpful! Thank you! Question: what about fonts? Can i use canva fonts??

[lnuneamoarsxr]

I was wondering about Canva logo, that you and someone else may use the same template. I did use one and saved it as a PNG, Cricut Design Space told me that the resolution (wasn’t exactly the word they used) was not great, I didn’t understand how they can say that when I used a Canva template, however, it printed horrible and I was still baffled until I came across your video. Thank you so very much!

Thanks for all your tips! Gave me new ideas on how to use my logo 👍👍👍

My logo predates Canva (made the original in 2007, put the hat on in 2013) 😉 I made it in a vector program (Xara) that my sister owned and used for her clients.

Because in that time faxes were still being sent, I even have a version without colour.

While watching your video, I realised that it in no way 'follows' your design rules 🤭

But I still love it - it literally made me money and it's very recognisable in a weird way: people refer to it as "that purple elephant". That's mainly, but not exclusively, because of the companyname that goes with the original one: (translated) The Purple Elephant. Funny how the mind works. 😁

Long story short: I'm aware of the limitations of my logo. But for me the pros still outway the cons big time ❤

What I really need to know is how to make eight different design elements in my logo One Design element so that I can add it to a business letter without the logo becoming the design that I'm trying to put the logo on so I can try to get my business off the ground. I hope that makes sense. Every time I tried to add my logo to the top of a business letter the logo becomes the business letter like it becomes the entire it completely replaces my design and I don't understand why this is happening. I am not a graphic designer I just have a canva pro account and I am using Canva AI to make designs.

Thank you so much for this!🩷 Which drawing tools/apps/websides would you recommend for DIY elements creation?✨

[hannalechtigmartinez]

Hi! If I save as an SVG file, and airdrop the image to my phone, I am not able to save the image out of the files app, I think bc iphone doesn't support that file type. Is there a way around this while still keeping the image crisp? If I save as png its not as HD. I want to use the logo for an instagram profile pic
