There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This is particularly true when we talk about the web services. No free lunches, if someone is offering you something for free there must be some catch and you don’t need to be rocket scientist to figure that out.

The most common ways for these so called free logo generators is that they will allow you to create your logo with the help of their existing clip art gallery and selected font. Then once you have spend hours designing your own logo on their pathetic logo generator and you are ready to download it they will ask you to pay for it.

Other common frauds include their watermark behind the downloaded logo image. Some of them will collect your email address and sell it to spammers. The quality of these logo designs as compared to the custom logo designs is very low. They use a selection of clipart images on which they embose brand name in a few font types. Which means there would be many other logos looking quite similar than yours.

When you hire a professional logo designer o create your custom logo design. You get a unique logo design of much better quality. Also you are given full rights of the logo which is important to protect your brand identity.
