10 Best Logo Makers of 2026
By the Comredix review desk · Updated November 14, 2026 · Next review December 29, 2026 · 10 products compared
The short version
Looka ranks first because it is built for logos and sells the most complete one-time package for small businesses: $72 for PNG, EPS, SVG and PDF files, color variations and unlimited changes, with a $96 yearly Brand Kit for business cards and templates. Brandmark is the value pick at $35 one-time with vector files and full copyright. Canva and Adobe Express are free general design apps with logo makers inside, best when the logo is the start of ongoing design work, and Adobe adds animated MP4 logos. Namecheap Logo Maker and Shopify Logo Maker are free; Namecheap includes SVG files, Shopify edits logos from plain-English prompts. DesignEvo has the lowest verified paid price at $24.99 one-time. LogoAI, Tailor Brands and Zoviz bundle logos into wider subscriptions for video, company formation or multi-brand marketing.
Short answer
Looka is the best logo maker for small businesses in 2026: its $72 Premium package includes PNG, EPS, SVG and PDF files with unlimited post-purchase changes. Brandmark suits buyers who avoid subscriptions, with vector files from $35 one-time, and Namecheap Logo Maker is the best free option, with PNG and SVG downloads at no cost, as of November 2026. Pick Canva or Adobe Express if you will keep designing social posts and print around the logo.
This list is for shoppers comparing logo makers on price, file formats and what comes with the logo. We compared documented features and published prices on each vendor's own site, and every verified price links to the page we checked in November 2026. Read the file format line first: a PNG is fine for a website, but signs, embroidery and print shops usually ask for a vector file such as SVG, EPS or PDF.

Price
Free to design; Basic $35 one-time, Designer $95, Enterprise $195
Quoted from the Brandmark pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Basic 35 $ one-time Logo files in PNG and vector format
Brandmark is the value pick for anyone who wants a scalable logo and dislikes subscriptions. Its $35 Basic package already includes logo files in PNG and vector format, which is the lowest verified price for a vector logo on this list. The $95 Designer package adds logo source files, unlimited design revisions, brand guidelines, one-page websites, business card, social media and presentation designs. The $195 Enterprise tier adds up to 10 fully original hand-crafted concepts and a font download. Brandmark says you can generate unlimited logos for free with no account, edit in a browser or on mobile, and export to SVG, PNG and PDF. Its generative AI can create a unique icon, and you can ask for changes in plain language. Full copyright is included for commercial and personal projects, and Brandmark states there are no monthly charges. The tradeoff is depth: you get fewer ready-made templates for marketing material than a general design app offers.
What it does well
- +Cheapest verified vector file on this list at $35 one-time
- +No monthly charges: pay once and keep access to the branding tools
- +Full copyright included for commercial and personal projects
Where it falls short
- −Source files and brand guidelines need the $95 Designer package
- −Font download only comes with the $195 Enterprise package
- −Template library for social and print is smaller than Canva or Adobe Express

Free to design; Basic Logo Package $35 one-time, Premium $72 one-time, Brand Kit $96 a year
Quoted from the Looka pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Basic Logo Package One low-res file $35 One-Time Purchase One PNG logo file
Looka is built only for logos and the brand assets around them, and its pricing page lays out two clear paths. You can design for free and pay once: $35 buys a single low-res PNG, while $72 buys the Premium Logo Package with PNG, EPS, SVG and PDF files, color variations with transparent backgrounds, unlimited post-purchase changes and lifetime technical support. The second path is the Brand Kit Subscription at $96 a year, which adds 300+ branded assets including social profiles, business cards, email signatures, letterheads, invoices and brand guidelines, and keeps full ownership of the logo after the subscription ends. A $129 tier adds an AI generated website. The editor lets you set colors, fonts and layouts, and Looka says the files are royalty free for commercial use. The main catch is that the $35 option is too limited for print, so most buyers should budget $72. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests.
What it does well
- +Making logos is free; you pay only when you buy a package
- +Premium package includes unlimited post-purchase changes and lifetime technical support
- +Full ownership of the logo continues even after a Brand Kit subscription ends
Where it falls short
- −The $35 Basic package is a single low-res PNG, too small for most print jobs
- −Unlimited changes after purchase need the Premium package or a subscription
- −Brand Kit is billed annually only, at $96 a year
- Cheapest package
- $35 one-time, one PNG
- Vector files
- Premium $72 (PNG, EPS, SVG, PDF)

- Brand Kit $96 a year

Free plan; Pro $144 a year for one person, Business $250 a year per person
Quoted from the Canva pricing page on November 14, 2026:
US$ 144 /year for one person
Canva is not a dedicated logo maker, but its free logo tool is part of an editor many small businesses already use. You can start from logo templates or the AI Logo Generator, drag in icons and illustrations, adjust colors and download PNG files with transparent backgrounds, all on the free plan, which includes 1.6M+ templates and 4.7M+ elements. Pro costs US$144 a year for one person and raises the library to 3.6M+ templates and 141M+ elements, with 5 Brand Kits and more AI. Business is US$250 a year per person and adds 100 Brand Kits, approvals and team admin tools. The advantage is reuse: once the logo is in a Brand Kit, the same editor builds business cards, letterheads and social posts in your colors. The drawback for a logo buyer is originality, since popular templates are used by many accounts, and Canva charges by subscription rather than a single logo fee. We compared documented features and published prices only.
What it does well
- +A logo can be made and downloaded on the free plan
- +The same editor handles business cards, letterheads and social posts
- +Business plan includes a 10% discount on print orders where Canva Print is offered
Where it falls short
- −Free plan Brand Kit is limited to 3 colors
- −Templates are shared by many users, so a template logo is not unique to you
- −Pro is a recurring cost of $144 a year rather than a one-time logo fee
- Free plan
- Yes, 1.6M+ templates

Quoted from the Namecheap Logo Maker pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Use the power of AI to create an unlimited number of designs with this 100% free logo generator tool.
Namecheap Logo Maker is the strongest free option here because it gives away what most rivals charge for. Namecheap calls it a 100% free logo generator that creates an unlimited number of designs with AI, and it says every download includes high-resolution PNG and SVG files. Logos never carry a watermark. You pick fonts, icons and colors, enter hex codes if you have brand colors, and add a slogan or tagline to see how it fits different layouts. The icon library has thousands of free icons, and mockups preview the logo on T-shirts and other items before you download. What you do not get is a bundle: there is no brand book, business card set or social template pack of the kind Looka, Brandmark or Zoviz sell. Editing is also simpler than Canva or Adobe Express. For a side project, a new online store or a placeholder logo, though, a free SVG removes the main reason to pay.
What it does well
- +The only free tool on this list that includes SVG files
- +No watermark, so the free logo is usable as is
- +Slogan or tagline can be added to test different layouts
Where it falls short
- −No brand kit, business card or social template bundle like Looka or Zoviz
- −Fewer editing controls than a full design app
- −AI templates mean similar logos may exist for other users

Free plan; Premium and team plans (USD check pending)
No US price was listed when we checked. See the Adobe Express pricing page.
Adobe Express offers a free logo maker inside its create-anything design app. You type your brand name, optionally a slogan, choose an industry and style, pick a free icon and let it generate designs, then refine one in the editor. Downloads come as high-quality PNG and JPG files, and the logo can be uploaded to the Brand Kit to apply it to future flyers, business cards and social posts. Two features stand out against dedicated logo tools: dozens of animation styles with MP4 export for video intros, and access to thousands of free Adobe Fonts with recommendations for your project. Adobe Stock assets and generative AI sit in the same editor. The limits for a logo buyer are file types, since the logo page lists PNG and JPG rather than vector formats, and pricing transparency from our location, where the plans page did not show USD prices. Confirm the Premium price on Adobe's site before upgrading.
What it does well
- +Logo creation and download are free
- +Animated logo export to MP4 for video intros and social clips
- +Adobe Stock assets and generative AI in the same editor
Where it falls short
- −Logo downloads are listed as PNG and JPG, with no SVG mentioned on the logo maker page
- −Pricing page did not show USD prices from our location

Free; no paid plan
Quoted from the Shopify Logo Maker pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Yes, completely. Type in your brand name, pick from the AI-generated logo options, tweak the one you like, and download it.
Shopify Logo Maker replaces the older Hatchful tool with an AI generator that is free with no hidden paywall, in Shopify's words. You type a brand name, it produces logo options in several styles, and you can see each one on real mockups. Editing happens through prompts: select Customize and write requests such as making it blue and white, adding a circular border or placing a slogan underneath, and an updated version appears in seconds while earlier versions stay available for comparison. Files arrive as a high-resolution PNG in a zip, by email and as a download link on the page. That PNG works for a store theme, social profiles and most print jobs, but there is no SVG or EPS for large signage. Shopify also states that the logos are AI generated, so similar designs could appear for other people, and advises checking trademark availability first. For a new store owner who needs a logo today, it is the quickest free path.
What it does well
- +Completely free with no paywall, according to Shopify
- +Editing works by plain-English prompts, so no design skills are needed
- +Slogans can be added through the Customize prompt
Where it falls short
- −Download is a PNG only, with no vector file
- −Shopify warns that similar AI designs could show up for other people
- −An email address is needed to receive the files

Free with credit; Basic $24.99 one-time, Plus $49.99 one-time per logo
Quoted from the DesignEvo pricing page on November 14, 2026:
BASIC $ 24.99 USD $49.99USD One Time
DesignEvo is a template logo maker developed by PearlMountain Limited, and its pricing is the simplest on this list. The free tier gives low-resolution JPG and PNG files limited to 300 px and asks you to give credit. Basic costs $24.99 one-time for one logo and removes the credit requirement, raises files to 5000 x 5000 px, adds transparent PNG and allows unlimited edits and re-downloads. Plus, at $49.99 one-time, adds print-ready vector PDF and SVG files and lets you download the font files used in the design. Both paid tiers include lifetime support. DesignEvo runs on the web, desktop and mobile. The weaknesses are scope and scale: each purchase covers one logo, there is no bundle of branded templates, and the free files are too small for most uses. For a single high-resolution logo at the lowest verified price, it is hard to beat.
What it does well
- +Lowest verified paid price on this list at $24.99 one-time
- +Plus package includes font files, which several rivals reserve for top tiers
- +Lifetime support after purchase
Where it falls short
- −Free logos require giving credit and are capped at 300 px

7-day trial $10; Pro $20 a month with 500 AI credits
Quoted from the LogoAI pricing page on November 14, 2026:
The trial renews at $20 per month with 500 AI credits per month unless you cancel before the trial ends.
LogoAI has moved from one-time logo packs to a subscription that covers more than logos. Its pricing page lists a 7-day trial for $10 with 200 AI credits, which renews at $20 per month with 500 AI credits unless you cancel. Both include the Branding Suite, made up of the logo maker, an AI brand kit, logo animations and brand videos, plus a Design Studio with AI image and video tools, batch generations and access to 20+ AI models. Downloads are unrestricted on paid plans, though some export formats and advanced AI tools can use credits. LogoAI states that paid plans include commercial use of generated logos, but that commercial use does not guarantee exclusivity or trademark registration, a caveat worth reading. The fit is a founder who will keep producing branded video and images. Someone who only wants a logo file pays less with Brandmark or DesignEvo, since LogoAI does not list a one-time logo price.
What it does well
- +Logo animations and brand videos are part of the plan
- +Unrestricted downloads on paid plans
- +Cancel anytime through the subscription management link
Where it falls short
- −No one-time logo purchase on the pricing page
- −Trial renews at $20 a month unless cancelled

No US price was listed when we checked. See the Tailor Brands pricing page.
Tailor Brands started as a logo maker and now sells a broad small business platform, from LLC formation and registered agent services to websites, business email and a print store. Its logo creator uses AI to produce custom logos in a few clicks, and the FAQ says you can make a logo for free and download a low-resolution version, paying only if you want a high-res vector file. When you design a logo it also creates a suite of branded assets, including a brand book, letterheads, seasonal logos and business cards, plus versions sized for major social platforms. After purchase you get full commercial rights. The weakness for comparison shoppers is pricing: the logo maker page does not list a logo price, and the main pricing page now centers on LLC plans that include 8 free logos. That makes Tailor Brands most attractive if you are forming a company anyway, and harder to judge as a standalone logo purchase.
What it does well
- +Logo can be tried and downloaded at low resolution for free
- +Branded assets are created alongside the logo
- +Same platform offers LLC formation, websites and business cards
Where it falls short
- −The logo maker page does not publish a logo price

Starter $29 a month or $199 a year; Pro $49 a month; Business $99 a month
Quoted from the Zoviz pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Starting at $29 /per month
Zoviz sells a logo maker as the entry point to a full branding and marketing platform. All plans are subscriptions in USD: Starter at $29 a month or $199 a year covers 1 brand, 5,000+ templates, logo file resizing and export tools, 10 GB storage, AI tools such as background removal and upscaling, and 300 AI marketing credits a month for ads, social posts and thumbnails. Pro at $49 a month raises that to 5 brands, 800 credits, 500 GB, a website with custom domain and 3 team members, and Business at $99 a month covers 15 brands and up to 50 team members. Each brand gets its own logo, colors, templates and content, which suits agencies. Credits reset each billing cycle and unused credits do not roll over. Zoviz offers a refund within 30 days if you have not downloaded files or used credits. For a single logo the platform is more than most buyers need, and the monthly cost reflects that.
What it does well
- +Multi-brand plans suit agencies and multi-brand businesses
- +Yearly billing lowers Starter to $199 a year
- +Refund within 30 days if no files were downloaded and no AI credits used
Where it falls short

Before you pick a product or a plan
Decide between a one-time package and a subscription
Looka, Brandmark and DesignEvo sell logos once, from $24.99 to $195. Canva, LogoAI and Zoviz charge monthly or yearly for a wider toolkit. If you only need the logo, a one-time package is cheaper over a year than $20 to $29 a month.
Check which tier includes vector files
Vector files (SVG, EPS, PDF) scale to any size for signs and print. Brandmark includes them at $35, Looka at $72 Premium, DesignEvo at $49.99 Plus, and Namecheap Logo Maker includes SVG for free. Shopify Logo Maker and Adobe Express list PNG downloads.
Read the ownership and trademark terms
Looka, Brandmark and Tailor Brands state full ownership or commercial rights after purchase. LogoAI notes that commercial use does not guarantee exclusivity or trademark registration, and Shopify warns similar AI designs could appear for others. Run a trademark search before printing.
Count the extras you will actually use
Brand kits add business cards, email signatures and social templates. Looka's Brand Kit lists 300+ assets for $96 a year and Brandmark's Designer package adds brand guidelines for $95 once. Skip these if you already use Canva or Adobe Express for marketing design.
Watch trial renewals and credit limits
LogoAI's $10 seven-day trial renews at $20 a month unless cancelled, and Zoviz credits reset each billing cycle without rolling over. Set a reminder before a trial ends.
