The company logo is an extension of your business.
A company logo is an extension of your business. If you're not familiar with creating logos, you can hire a graphics designer to create one for you. On the other hand, creating your own logo saves money. You don't need to purchase expensive graphics software. You can use tools you already have, or you can use an online application. Image-editing programs include a variety of shapes you can incorporate into your logo to give it the look you want. Saving the logo allows you to add it to your publications or edit it later.
