The small business reality

You need a logo that works hard on a small budget

Small business owners rarely have a marketing department. Your logo has to look credible on a hand-lettered window, a $30 run of business cards, a Facebook page and eventually a real sign. That means simple shapes, readable type and files you can hand to any vendor.

We design for that reality: logos that print cheaply in one or two colors, look sharp as a tiny profile picture, and give you room to grow into a full brand later.

What small businesses ask us most

“Can it look professional without costing thousands?”

Yes. Custom logos typically fall between $100 and $200, and you only pay once you like the concept.

“Will I own it?”

Yes. Full ownership and all source files are included.

“Can you do my cards and signs too?”

Yes. Our graphic designers handle cards, flyers, menus and signage.

Color & typography

Choosing colors and fonts that suit a small business

  • Two main colors are enough. Fewer colors mean cheaper printing and a more memorable brand.
  • Readable beats trendy. Customers should read your name from a moving car.
  • Check your competitors. If every bakery nearby is pink, a different color helps you stand out.
  • Plan for one-color use. Stamps, embroidery and receipts only print in one color.

FAQs

Small business logo FAQs

How much should a small business spend on a logo?

A custom logo from our designers typically costs $100 to $200. That covers original concepts, revisions and full-ownership vector files. Read our logo design cost guide for a wider comparison.

Can I use a logo generator instead?

You can, but generator logos are often shared by other businesses and hard to trademark. If you already made one, we can refine it into a professional vector logo.

How fast can I get my logo?

Concepts usually arrive within hours, and many small business logos are finished the same day. See same-day logo design.

Do you work with businesses outside New Orleans?

Yes. We work online with businesses in Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, the Westbank and across the country.
