Have you recently started a blog?
Isn’t it fun and exciting? I know when I started Twins Mommy I couldn’t wait to write a blog post or create a Pin graphic. And you know what? It’s a year later and I still feel like this every night!
But, what if you feel overwhelmed with everything? That can totally happen. There are so many things to do for your blog like SEO, creating an email list, figure out Pinterest and creating a logo and solid brand.
If you’re interested in creating a logo for your blog and you don’t know how I have a handy video to help you!
Creating Your Logo
Create a simple logo that can help you build your brand. I like to create text-based logos:
You pick a font (that’s different than the font you use for your Pin graphics) and build on that.
With a text-based logo you can change how big some words are or stack words. For example, I really like Kandy Apple Mama’s logo:
You can throw in an icon if you want like Kecia does From Mom’s Desk.
In the video, I show you how to make a simple text-based logo and then how to create a “watermark” of your logo for your Pin graphics.
Branding your pins is a good thing to do if you’re a new Pinner and your want to grow your presence on this platform. It helps Pinners know your pins on their feeds and helps you get your brand out there.
Create a Professional Blog
Having a logo helps you be a bit more professional and it helps you grow your brand. It’s okay if you change your logo if you pivot, but go ahead and create one easily right now!
I really struggle with creating logos! I just never feel satisfied with the ones I choose, but I like this video and how simple, yet professional all of your logos look!
Hey Cole!
<3 Thanks chica! So happy you found something a little easy!
This looks so helpful. I’m a little late to the branding game than I would like to be, so this is perfect help!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video tutorial for your logo!
Wow! Thank you so much for this. It’s very timely for me as I’m thinking whether to DIY my new logo or have it made. Text based logos are awesome!
Hey Madz,
Such a cute logo! LOVE it!! way to go!
Hi Elna,
I have to admit, I didn’t take a lot of time to create my own logo. I’m not a designer so these types of things don’t come easily to me.
It’s nice to know that there are tutorials online that help us who want to learn how to to it ourselves.
I think it’s time to sit down and redo my logo and make it stand out more.
I love your logos and designs on your blog. Thanks for sharing this with us, I’ll be sure to pass it along.
Have a great day 🙂
Susan
Hi Susan!
You’re welcome. I’m not that great with designing certain things like logos! That’s why I stick to simple text-based ones! Can’t wait to see the improved logo!
Ok, this was just what I needed today! Thanks – Been wanting a new logo for our site plus we really, really needed to figure out how to watermark our Pinterest pins. Recently saw someone that was claiming some as their own. 🙁 Appreciate the video walk thru, making it so much easier to try.
Hey Babbette,
You’re welcome! Glad you found a way to make a good logo! Yeah, watermarking doesn’t always stop others taking your pins unfortunately. They just redirect it to their website…grr..it’s happened to me too!
