Logo Design

What is a Logo?

A graphic representation of a company name, trademark or product, typically designed for recognizability, memorability and market differentiation. The meaning of a logo is defined by the quality of the thing it represents, not the other way around.

Our Logo Design service

Looking for a unique image to represent your corporate identity? Or do you just need to modify your current logo for your web site? At Giga Design Online, we create logos that capture the essence of your business, leaving impact for both print and web display.

If you're looking for a new logo or redesigning your current one for your web site, we can assist you in the decision-making process. We specialize in both low-resolution (web) and high-resolution (print) graphic images.

What do you charge for logo designs?

Our logo design prices generally range from $299 to $500, depending on the type of logo you want for your organization. Logos can be as simple as text placed in a creative way or have more abstract elements requiring illustration.

What is the process for designing a logo for us?

We will provide you with two logo design samples within five business days. (Rush jobs for logos cost 50%-100% extra.) These logo samples may be sent either via e-mail or via display on a web page.

The client may make their selection along with one free revision. Additional revisions are billable. We're pretty flexible on alterations. If it's something that only takes a few minutes we won't nickel-and-dime you (i.e., at no additional cost).

How many logo designs samples do we get to choose from?

Two logo design samples are given in the base price. Additional samples may be ordered for an additional 50% of the standard logo rate.

What formats are my logo delivered in?

Print logos are normally delivered in EPS or TIFF format (along with PDF format), unless requested in another format by the client. Clients wishing to have their logo in a specific software application format should check with us first before beginning their logo design.

Web logos are normally delivered in GIF or JPEG format, depending on the design of the logo. Special formats can be created, but we usually recommend sticking with these formats for general use.

Screen logos (other than the web, such as for a presentation) can be created in GIF, JPEG, PICT, PNG, Windows Bitmap, and many other formats. Again, we strongly recommend letting us know beforehand where you plan on having your logo displayed so we can make your logo design completely compatible when finished.

What is the difference between a print logo and a web logo?

Print logos require a much higher resolution (i.e., pixels per inch) to create and need to be saved in certain standard print file formats. Some of the most common and universal print formats for print jobs are TIFF, EPS, and Adobe Acrobat PDF. By creating a logo in these file formats, the logo can be opened up and printed even without having the original software application the logo was created in. Because print logos can become very large in file size, unless you have a fast Internet connection they are best sent on a form of removable media, such as a floppy disk, a Zip disk, or a CD-ROM.

Web logos require a much smaller resolution (since they only need to be displayed on screen), and can be sent directly through email or available for immediate download. Because web logos are so small in file size, they are not a good choice for printing, as the quality will appear very blurred or jagged on paper.

Can my logo be integrated into other software, such as Word, Powerpoint, and web pages

Yes. Each software program has its own specific menu command to best place your logo into the program. However, not all software programs will have your logo appearing the same way unless your logo is saved in the file format that works best with that program. That's why it's a good idea to have your logo save in multiple file formats so you can have a copy readily available for all your needs.

What questions should I be asking myself when thinking about a logo design?

What do I want my logo to represent? (Think key words: strength, resilience, quality, elegance, to name a few.)
Where will my logo be displayed?
What colors should my logo be?
Should it include text, an image, or both?
Should it have a special typeface?
Does it need any special effects?
How can it stand out from my competitors?

Remember: the more information you can provide us with, the better you can be assured of having the logo design that meets your exact needs.

Can my logo design be copyrighted?

Yes. Copyright applications are provided by the Federal government along with a standard filing fee for submission.
