      @Heather-Boyd I used Inkscape. I have used it for years. You really want your logo to some sort of vector graphics (like Illustrator or Inkscape) long term this helps you be able to scale it.

      Inkscape will take in a bitmap and convert it to vectors. Mine started as an ink drawing and I converted it in Inkscape. I am pretty sure Illustrator has the same functions (I just haven't used it.)

      Here is a link to download Inkscape: https://inkscape.org/

        Though I don't consider this a "logo", more like an avatar.

          @Heather-Boyd There's alternatives to illustrator, Inkscape one of them, just google it. But you just going to end with another program that you have to learn to use it. If you have illustrator, I'll recommend to sit through some youtube tutorials and learn to use it. It is worth it!

          Unless you want to use Photoshop, the vector tools in photoshop are real good today and if you only want to create a logo don't need to learn a new program.

          Have a nice day!

                @TwiggyT Thanks Twiggy. Over time I will simplify the logo, I will always use a lion and unicorn.
                Your name is lovely! Doesn't sound boring. Tracey Wilson Illustration. Sometimes keeping it simple is best.😊 But I know what you mean when you want a different business identity. Good either way. It's smart using the 'T' like Jake Parker uses his 'JP' in black and white. Bet everyone in illustration knows his logo!

                @theprairiefox Love your fox, shape and colour are stunning! You are a fountain of knowledge. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all these points down. I'm certainly going to take them into consideration when simplifying my logo in the future. I know lots of illustrators will be thankful too. Keep you posted on how my logo evolves. 😏

                      I use a moniker for consistency in handles and urls (and because no one can ever remember or spell my name).

                          I vaguely use this as my business logo. My surname means 'crane', like the bird. But it's a bit outdated, I haven't given too much thought to an update to my business branding 😃

                            @Heather-Boyd I used Affinity Designer to create mine using vectors. Not free but very very cheap and fairly easy to learn I thought. Lots of YouTube videos to help on that front.

                              Hey everyone, these are so cool and fun! This is getting my creative thoughts stirring. I have not ever really had a logo before other than when I was a teenager I used to draw cards for people and used the business name of Quackers (I don't know why). I used one of those old fashioned green and brass desk lamps as a picture (again, not sure why other than I like them.)

                              Hmmm. I must think about this later when I am procrastinating on doing something I should be doing....

                                  Hey everyone!
                                  I'm Cat.
                                  And My brand name is
                                  Cat on Paper

                                  This logo is made in photoshop and didn't vectorized it yet since it didn't really need to. I love the pencil feel with its imperfections..

                                  ***funny thing! By instinct, for a split second, I thought I should watermark the logo... 😂

                                    Coming from a graphic design background. Here is mine, I am sure as I get more into art I will change it to something artsier....

                                      @Heather-Boyd Vectornator on the iPad works well, although I've only made one thing in it so far.

                                        This is my logo I designed recently. I need to move the eye on it, but other than that I'm pretty pleased with it. It encapsulates my brand pretty well with a gryphon for the fantasy/creative element, a sword since I do HEMA, and a pen since I write as well as art.
