LogoMaker: The Bait and Switch
Pros: At first glance, it seems like all your logo-making dreams will be fulfilled. This website hosts an extensive collection of beautiful, professional looking logos. It is very easy to use, and follows most of WSINYE's guidelines for perfect logos. Cons: However, after you've created said perfect logo, you're slapped with a bill for $39.99 plus tax. Why is this such a let down? Well, throughout your happy logo-making experience, you're bombarded with lie after lie: Free! Free! Free! Hmmm. It's a bit like Kellogg's claiming free sugar in the Cocoa Puffs. Final thought: It might be worth the $39.99 plus. LogoMakr: Elementary, my dear. Pros: It's a free and easy to use web tool, if a bit clunky. You do have complete control of color, shape and text placement. Cons: The logos are very amateur in nature. Most remind me of the logos used for highway road signs and public restrooms. In my opinion, you probably could produce something very good if you worked at it. Final thought: It's worth a try. Freelogodesign.org: Nope Pros: It's free. And that's about it. Cons: I was very disappointed with this logo maker. I typed in the name of my logo and the category of my web page. I was expecting a hit on something relating to technology, writing, education, pencils, anything but what I got. Puppies and kittens and yoga. Not only could I not find anything related to my subject, the words of my text (Writing and Technology) were superimposed onto each other. It also very slow in loading new images. It could be my computer that caused these bizarre problems. AVG has been sending me messages that my computer is cluttered, but I still can't say it was one of my favorites. Final thought: It's still a nope.

This is my 25th year as a public school teacher. I've taught every grade between Kindergarten and 12th grade. I hope to encourage my students to love writing and reading as much as I do. Archives
