Why you need a logo
As I stated before, your logo is what people will remember and associate with your brand. A logo is a simplistic way to present your business to the world. I have a few options below that go deeper into why you need a logo for your Cricut business.
Your logo represents ownership.
Every time you ship a product with your logo on it, you are imprinting your brand identification on customers. Your customers will associate whatever product they bought from you, to any similar product that they see while they’re out and about. They will also refer your products to others if your product, price and customer service is good.
Sets you apart from your competitors.
If there are multiple businesses selling the same thing as you, your logo and brand is one way to set you apart. Your logo sets you apart from competition because it reveals who you are as a business and differentiates you. Make sure your logo for your Cricut business is distinguishable while being memorable.
Expands your marketing presence.
Again, when you put stickers with your logo on your product packaging you’re expanding the marketing presence of your brand. Go logo crazy and put your logo on your website, Etsy shop, social media, products, thank you cards, etc.
What your logo symbolizes
Your logo should symbolize what you stand for so you should be sure to act and create content in a way that displays what you want to portray. Branding experts will say the colors in your logo make a difference. I agree and will add that the colors, font and icons in your logo can send certain messages so be mindful of this when developing a logo for your Cricut business.
Where to make your own logo
There are several online tools that also you to make your own logo. A few of them include:
Tailor Brands – they let you enter your business name and go through the selection process of choosing different fonts and features that appeal to you. However, in order to see the finished logo options, you must create a free account.
Looka – This site is similar to Tailor Brands and asks you enter some info on your business name, identify the industry for your business, select some logo designs that appeal most to you and choose colors you like best. You also get to choose what icons you want to be included in your logo and make some additional features. In order to continue editing your logo you will have to create an account.
Ucraft – This site lets you design your own logo from scratch. There are icons, text and shapes you can choose from and edit to make the logo of your choice. I suggest using this source if you have graphic design skills or if you just want to try your hand at designing.
Where to buy logos
An alternative to making your own logos is buying them. You can quickly and easily buy logos on Etsy, Fiverr, and other places. I’m sure you’re familiar with how Etsy works, just type logo in the search box and you’ll get hundreds of thousands search results.
Fiverr is a bit different in that you reach out to an actual person to design your logo. You may need to provide that person with some details about your business to give them direction on the logo you want for your Cricut business logo.
I hope this blog post was helpful. Don’t overthink your logo for your Cricut business and remember that you can always rebrand. Sometimes we as creators get into the details of little things that don’t make a big difference. So yes come up with a logo that you plan to use for a while, but also focus on the other business components that will really move your business forward.
