To Summarize
When you’re still planning or analyzing your business idea and its scope, you won’t start doing real brand work at the beginning and therefore, investing money in getting an exclusive logo design would not be your preference. If that is the case, these free online logo designing websites could really be of great help in generating a tentative logo design, for absolutely no cost at all!

But, if that’s not the case and if, indeed you’re looking to have a High Definition Logo, that could closely represent your company and has differentiating features, then you got to hire a firm that has significant experience in logo designing. Why? Because to create an exclusive and relevant logo, a designer (or team) requires to have an understanding of your business, it’s targeted audience and the purpose(s) it solves. Unlike a logo design firm, online design sites unfortunately, give you (only a few,) broad symbol choices, loosely representing your industry.  Another point worth noting, is that when you generate a logo through these free online logo design sites, you get to have low definition designs that get pixelated when zoomed.

Thus, if you require to have an exclusive, high definition logo that could closely represent your company and could be available to you in different formats, then you should consider assigning the logo creation task to a professional logo designing firm or to a designer!
