Your logo not only will be displayed on website or social media account but also on your business cards and other formats. So, you have to ask yourself several questions, such as:

But what happened if you still cannot find the right logos after hundreds of graphics or font styles? Well, this tool will ask you few design questions to find out what type of design appeals to you. Based on your answers, Tailor Brands will suggest and create a logo they think will best match your design style.
So here is how the process works:
- Insert your business name.
