Get a custom logo that works everywhere
Team up with a designer, or create your own custom logo. Make your mark.
A great custom logo reflects the personality of your business, so it's important for you to have a general sense of your brand identity before you begin. Is your brand more playful or sophisticated? Cutting-edge modern or more of a timeless vibe? Knowing who you are as a business will help you most quickly and effectively get a look that feels like you.
If you’re working with 99designs by Vista’s freelance design community, designers will also need to know a bit of your basic business backstory: your business name, any taglines, what your business does and who makes up its target audience. If you have an existing logo or color scheme, that’s also helpful. You’ll be able to share all of this information with designers when you fill out one of our intuitive design briefs. We'll ask you questions, you'll fill in the blanks – it's a simple and intuitive process.
Each of our logo design options offers you a unique way to create a brand logo design.
