Should a website logo be designed professionally?

[BrolySSJ]

Designing a website logo is not an easy feat and this is the first thing that people are going to see when they open your web page and often this can make the difference in someone that is just passing by your site and something that may choose to use it further. Do you think that you should always get a professional to design to the logo for your site? To me I think that it can be a good idea but in doing so you are also losing that personal touch that you as the owner can give to the site logo as well.

If you are good with photo editing software such as Photoshop or illustrator you can design your own logo. If not, it's better to get professional help through a freelancing website such as Fiver. Because your logo becomes your trademark and your users would be able to identify you easily on various channels such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc., This helps you to stand out from the other bloggers and forums.

I do agree with you and people tend to remember any website based on the logo that there is and therefore if it is cheaply designed it can give off that impression for the rest of the website as well.

If you are good at graphic designing, then you should design a stunning logo to reflect the uniqueness of your business.

If you don't have enough time or knowledge about designing logos, then you must hire a professional graphic designer to help you.

Your logo should look good and unique to your business. But you don't need to get one professionally made. I know people who use drawings of their own, or even their children's design. Otherwise, they just do their best making up their own logo.

Most people I would imagine pay someone to design a logo, but not always.

Sometimes you don't even need a logo. You can use create a banner with your website name and you are done. I have a lot of websites that do not have a logo or even a banner., I just use website name and slogan
