Note that it’s always necessary to outline a company logo in advance. Design logo in B&W and evaluate it in the very first step. Ever Design Bible puts it: if a logo is ugly in B&W, it won’t look good in colors.

Adding Logo Texts
Prepare logo texts and ask a group of target audiences to test it. If they like it, Congrats, you can move to the next practical phrase. Always keep in mind that: UX is crucial for any design, especially for logo creation.
Go for [Text] in DesignEvo, you will be given two options – Classic and Art. Art stores a selection of professional slogan samples, which can be dragged and dropped for immediate use with professional look guarantees. Here, We will take the normal path to design logo text and choose the [Classic] option.
Considering that 3PTechies is a tech-savvy site and is dedicated to providing professional tips, we will opt for a font with a strict look.
That’s “Alfa Slab One”. Double-click to copy and paste our logo text – “3PTechies Tips”. Dragging textbox to adjust its position. During the dragging process, you will see center lines.
The next step is to add logo shapes.
Adding Logo Shapes

After choosing the banner suitable for the design, we have changed its color back to pure black and moved its position. In final, it looks good for us and looks like a normal geek.
Coloring Your Logo
When the design is done, we shall fill in colors. Red stands for passion, which is in accord with the spirits that we hold on to – “We are always passionate about technology.”
Gradient style can be more proper for us, since the logo text is in serious black and gradient color can bridge the two, making our logo whole.
Printing Logo
The last step is to print out the logo for our own use. At the top of the user interface, there’s a “Download” button. Give it a click, and allow the automatic download to complete.
Eventually, you will have a zip file containing 3 logo files labeled with “PNG”, “JPG” and “PNG with transparent”. It’s easy to guess what these files are from the labels.
