Let’s get to the list…
#1 Canva Logo Maker
Canva is an incredible online design tool that lets you create a whole host of free designs, including logos! In our opinion, their logo maker is one the best around and is incredibly easy to use.
Click here to see their range of logo templates and you will find a mix of premium and free templates available. There are free templates available in a variety of styles and niches including gaming, technology, events, clothing, and so much more.
When it comes to making a logo on Canva we recommend starting it off by creating a design with custom dimensions (e.g. 1500x1500px) and then in the Canva editor select a logo template to add to your canvas. The reason for this is that if you select a logo template first you will only be able to download in the default size of 500x500px.
Customizing your free logo design is a breeze with Canva, and you can tweak almost every aspect of your logo so you should have no problem getting the look you’re after.
If you want to download your logo with a transparent background you’ll have to get a Canva Pro account. However, there are free alternative options to remove your logo design background such as Kapwing.
Steps to create your logo:
- Click on ‘Create a design’
- Enter custom dimensions (e.g. 1500x1500px) and click ‘create design’

There are technically a lot more than 40 completely free templates available though. If you go to one of the templates you’ll see that you can search a library of free graphics to use for your logo designs and a free font library too.
The variety of graphic elements and fonts isn’t as large as the full Placeit library but you still get access to plenty for free. There are also plenty of other design templates you can access as part of the Placeit free trial.

#3 WePik (By FreePik)
At number 3 we have WePik, FreePik’s 100% free online design tool that lets you create a bunch of designs including social media posts, blog banners, infographics, and much more.
They also let you create logos completely for free, and have a great selection of around 85 high-quality logo templates that you can customize to make your own.
WePik’s editor is pretty solid too and easy to use, although we did find a few quirks here and there. For the most part, it’s a very sleek and smooth experience.
When you edit a logo template you’ll notice that there are layers to the designs, and this allows you to customize almost every aspect of the logo templates with ease.
As mentioned all the logos on WePik are 100% free to download, however, you can only download the logo designs with dimensions 500x500px. So if you’re in need of a high-resolution logo design you’ll have to look elsewhere.

Steps to create your logo:
- Go to the logo templates section on WePik
- Select a template you like

Printful recently launched their very own free logo maker. We gave it a look and we thought it was pretty solid for a completely free logo design tool.

When it comes to customizing your logo you’re able to modify most aspects of the designs as Printful separates each element into its own layer.

They have a fairly sizeable library of free logos that span across various industries and styles so you’re bound to find a few that have the look and feel that you’re after.

The user interface is very well designed and incredibly easy to use, in a matter of a few clicks you’ll have lots of logo designs to choose from, and customizing the templates is just as easy.
Where Hatchful falls a bit short in comparison to some of the other free logo makers in this list is the logo design quality. They offer some good quality templates but a lot of the designs look a bit generic.

So, if you’re looking to save a few pennies, you’re in luck as Jimdo’s logo maker is 100% free to use. You don’t need to signup for a paid Jimdo account. You can simply create a free Jimdo profile, make your logo, download it, and be on your way.
Like most of the logo makers in this list, Jimdo’s logo maker is very easy to use. You simply follow the steps, choose a template you like, and modify it to your liking. It’s all very intuitive.
Like with Hatchul, we felt like the design quality of the logos on Jimdo isn’t as good as some of the other tools above Jimdo on this list. It is a completely free service though, and the quality is still pretty good.

#10 Artify Logo Maker
Artify dubs itself the “first art gallery you can edit” and to their credit, they do offer some interesting unique designs that you can edit all within your browser.
Essentially, it’s a design tool like many of the others in this list, that allows you to create a wide range of designs such as social graphics, book covers, presentations, and a lot more.
They also have a decent-sized library of logo templates. The main downside with their tool is that all the logos are for personal use only, so if you need your logo for commercial purposes then you’ll have to use a different logo maker.
Most of the logo design templates are in a minimalist and modern style, many of which have genuinely good quality designs, and when it comes to customizing your logo design, it’s fairly simple. All the main customization options are easy to access.
The only issue we found was that not all the logo icons can be fully customized. For example, you can’t change the color of the logo icon on all templates. Also, you can only download your logo with a transparent background if you upgrade to a premium account.
If you’re looking for a good-looking logo to use for a personal project then it’s worth checking out Artify.
Steps to create your logo:
- Go to their logo templates section
- Choose a template you like
- Customize to your liking
- Download it
Logos we made for free with Artify:
Pricing:
- Free logo templates (Personal use only)

What makes it stand out?
- Some good templates to start your design from
- Clean and modern looking logo designs
- Easy to customize your design
- Large logo file size (1000x1000px)
#11 The Hoth Logo Maker
This completely free logo maker from The Hoth is so simple, anyone can use it! The interface is also very user-friendly (especially for a free logo maker) it’s very easy to select and edit all the different elements of the logo.
How The Hoth’s logo maker differs from most of the other tools in this list is that it’s not template-based. You essentially start with a blank canvas and add the various elements (text, graphics, etc.) to create your logo.
You can change sizes, shapes, colors, and really customize most elements of the logo to fit the look you’re going for. It takes no time at all to create something that looks good.
When you download the logo, The Hoth sends you logo files via email, and what’s really cool is that you get several files (PNG, JPG, etc.) and if you have some design skills you can use the EPS file they send you to do more customizations in photoshop.

The majority of the templates are for premium subscribers only but you can see which templates are free as they won’t have the diamond symbol on them.
There are some good quality free logo templates on Fotor though, just not as many as some of the other tools in this list, and you can only download the logo designs in 600x600px which isn’t quite as generous as other free logo makers.

- Go to the logo templates on Fotor
- Choose a template or search for one that fits your niche (e.g. food logo)
