Free is the word that attracts everyone, which is why, various websites uses this phenomenon to lure the audience. I know that’s wrong but free has become link bait. The tragedy is not limited to website but softwares as well.

Although, some are free for real but not all of them says the truth.

We are talking about free logo creator that you can find in a huge quantity over the internet. These flash-driven websites may present you various short term benefits by downloading their software but the reality is other way round, you have to pay the price in the end!

You will be asked to pay the price in two terms:

1-In the form of your hard won money.

2-In the form of your brand, product, service or company’s reputation.
Can we say you will be paying the price of destroying your own company’s image? Though, it may render you some short term benefits but in the long run, you will be facing the fire and there will be no way out. You will be then DOWN FOR THE COUNT!

Some problems that you didn’t know before are:

1-It is not free. Check it out after downloading, it will definitely charge you 39$, 49$ or even 99$ to use the clipart which you can get for free as well. Open Microsoft PowerPoint or word and collect as many clipart as you want.

2-Your competitor might be using free logo creator online as well as you are not the only person who may be subjected to the free idea.

3-It is not legal. In other words, you cannot claim the rights at any case if you encounter the same looking logo somewhere else. He has the same rights of using free softwares just like the way you can.

Logo design software has been the centre of attention since its inception because of the only feature it offers that is,” Its free” but with this only feature, comes so many problems as well. This article will thus shed light on those bad features that may harm your business reputation in the long run.

First of all, you can claim the rights of your logo design if someone else copies it. It is software that is available to everybody in the world and this is why, there is no guarantee that it will not be used by anyone else.
Secondly, it is not up to date. Logo design trends changes with the changing time so you will never know if the images you are using to draw your brand mark identity is up to the minute or not.

Thirdly, you might be copying someone else’s idea as well that will create a whole lot of confusion for the viewers. Plus can you afford to label your corporate identity a copied idea? If everybody in the world would be using this free logo creator software then there would be no graphic design institutes and every corporate identity would look similar to each other but that’s not the case.

Fourthly, you must have some idea in your mind about your future brand recognition device. How on earth will you be able to find your dream image in a so called logo generator? Think about it!

Fifthly, can you expect any creativity from it as the images and designs are very limited. You cannot add something of your interest to it which may frustrate you. It will put forth obsolete design concepts again and again in front of you which won’t show any shade of creativity.

Hence, there are so many negative impacts of using free logo generator out of which some were given above.
