Hello,

I currently do not have a logo and i know that I should probably have one. I have a graphic designer in the family and she is going to design mine for free! I am trying to think of some ideas to give to her on what I was thinking, but I am coming up blank. I was wondering how everyone came up with their logos? Can I go with a simple design beside my name, CK Virtual Assistant Services or go with something more like a person sitting at a computer. I think that this has been done and its not really different.

I am stumped and any thoughts would be great! Thanks!

Hi! It's nice to have two options of your logo - a square one and a rectangular one for more adaptability in wherever you have to put your brand on.

About your question, you can play with "tech" elements like the "@" sign, a laptop, etc. depending on what kind of services you offer to create and "identity" for your business. In case you will expand your services in the future, it's better to stick with simple but elegant logos.

Or you could try interlocking the letters C-K-V-A and see what comes up. My avatar is my logo (Goddess) because it expresses my business name.

Your logo is all about you and your business!

So whatever you think feels right and applicable will be fine.

However, simplicity is always the key. Look at the big names.. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.. their logos are really simple and straight to the point. You can also put in a graphic that best represents your business.. and most often than not, although it may be a cliche, the person sitting with a computer -- is the image that's seen it's because that's what we do!

Good luck to your logo!

I played around with a logo creator software, which gave me several ideas as to which direction I wanted to head in finalizing my logo creation. I used The Logo Creator software by Laughingbird Software.

Good Luck
