Subj : Design.com logo maker review To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Fri Nov 07 2025 17:45:08 Design.com logo maker review Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:32:40 +0000 Description: When looking for design services, why not point your browser to the best URL on the planet for this purpose: design.com. But is what it offers as cool as its name? FULL STORY ====================================================================== Ever fancied having a graphic design team at your fingertips to help your business with branding, marketing and reach, but cant afford to hire more people? How about a customizable AI service instead? This is what the amazingly named design.com " aims to offer (incredible that URL was still available). Design.com: Pricing & plans (Image credit: Design.com // Future) Barely any free templates, but at least you can try all the tools before choosing a subscription plan Although you can explore all of what Design.com has to offer, and experiment with all of its tools to your hearts content, youll find this service is primarily a paid one. Sure, youll spot the odd free design here and there, discernible by a free moniker top left of a templates thumbnail, but sadly, those are few and far between. When it comes to choosing a paid tier to suit your needs, I found the choices to be somewhat confusing, as the plans on offer differ depending on the services youre using. For instance, working in the logo section will bring up Premium Logo Pack or Premium Logo Pack + Website, ranging from 3 to 6 per month, billed annually (paying on a month by month basis is considerably more expensive: from 9 to 14). However, if you come from the YouTube Banner, Instagram Post or T-Shirt sections, say, you only have one option: Premium Account, for 5 a month billed annually, or 9 on a month by month basis, yet both Premium Account and Premium Logo Pack allow you to edit posts, logos and more Why the discrepancy, in tier name and cost, depending on which service you start from? I must note that over the days I spent experimenting with this service, these options changed: there used to be three different tiers coming from the logo service, and two from the others, so it might be possible that they will have changed again once you try the service out for yourself. Design.com: Categories & templates (Image credit: Design.com // Future) A wealth of different categories, with hundreds of templates for each. Its very easy to navigate through them all. Design.com certainly is feature packed. Its a logo maker, sure, but it also offers you the ability to create business cards, posters, flyers, banners for YouTube and LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram posts and stories, email signatures, entire websites, T-shirts, and more. The platform's focus is on allowing AI to do the bulk of the work for you, with customizations available further down the line if theyre needed. The aim here is to offer you a design so good, you dont need to do anything to it, except insert your business's info. The way it works is incredibly simple: at the top of the page is a menu-bar, broken down by category, with options within each category being quite vast. If this feels too clinical for you, scroll down the main page instead to browse through a list of the most common services, with big friendly images and description of what to expect. Remember: the vast majority of the templates will have to be paid for. Only a handful are available for free, and as youd expect, they wont be the flashiest, nicest looking ones. Still, free is free. Youre also able to explore and customize all templates, even the premium ones, as you only get to the paywall when youve finalized your design, giving you a good opportunity to try out every feature. If youre on the lookout for a free logo and dont fancy scrolling through the long list hoping to find the handful of free templates available, click here to see the free designs and not the premium ones. Design.com: Choices (Image credit: Design.com // Future) So many choices increases the odds youll find the perfect AI creation for you. Youre given a few basic customization options, with the more in-depth alterations saved for another part of the service Looking through Design.coms vast choices can be overwhelming, although the developers have gone to great lengths to keep the results focused on what youre looking for. To make this work, once youve selected the type of service youre after (be it a poster, website, post, business card, logo, etc), youll need to enter a list of keywords so the websites AI can get to work. There are exceptions to this, like the Business Card or Logo sections, for instance, which request your business name instead. If you have a logo already designed, you can upload it at the same time, and itll be integrated into the results. Once you click on the big blue Start Now button, youll be instantly given dozens of variations based on your business name and/or keywords. Actually scratch that: thats just the first page: scroll down to the bottom and youll find hundreds of additional pages waiting for you, which means you have thousands of templates to choose from, which you can narrow down with a selection of filters, additional keywords and searches. Click on the one you like best to select it and be taken to the next steps, which include changing the templates default colours, altering the text (or let AI write something for you), and finally select a layout from a choice of six, if the original one wasnt to your liking. If this is as much editing as you have the time or inclination for, click on Download to claim your prize or so I mightve hoped. Ive already covered that most templates arent free, but if youre working on one that is, you'll have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it. I lost count of how many pages offering me special (paid) deals I had to skip through in order to finally be able to download my file. Design.com: Customization & export (Image credit: Design.com // Future) The level of customization is high, giving you full control over your creation - although thats solely reserved for paying customers. As for exporting your work, the number of options on offer is broad. Keeping it simple is great and a very useful timesaver, but if you have specific ideas not reflected by the AI results, youll be pleased to learn these designs are fully customisable, although be aware this feature is for paying customers only. You have access to the full layout, being able to move and resize and even rotate any object present on the template. You can even bring in new shapes and clip art should you want to. Altering an items colour is just a click away, you have full control over text boxes, from style, to format, to font. Its all fun and easy to use. If youre familiar with Canva, youll feel right at home here. Whether you customized your layout or not, nows the time to download it. The choices you have are refreshingly vast, and this also applies to the free templates you might elect to use. Being able to download the full design is a given, but you also have the option of exporting a version with a transparent background, or to just get the icon, solely grab the text, or turn the whole creation into greyscale. You even have a choice of format, from JPG, PNG, SVG, EPS or PDF. This level of choice is most welcome as it can allow people to edit the design further elsewhere, should they want to. Should I buy Design.com? Buy it if... Youre looking for a service that uses AI to generate designs for your business at a fraction of what it would cost to maintain a creative team. Theres a handful of free templates, as well as reasonable subscription rates to gain access to all templates and full customization control. Don't buy it if... You want total creative control over your designs without AI input. And the free options feel pretty meagre compared to the more lavish premium templates.
