After 4 months, it was past time to create a logo design for my newsletter (yes, this one!) Here's how I created a new logo design this week without breaking my budget. Let me know what you think!
Tonight I got an unsolicited inbound email from a logo tool provider I won't name (for reasons that will be obvious). I thought it might ask me to try their tool, but no; they asked me to add a footnote to this post about Zarla to point people to their tool. That's a hard NO for 3 reasons.
1, I didn't try or use their tool, so I'm not about to recommend it.
2, their tool uses unethically-trained generative AI tools in its back end. Not my vibe, as my followers know.
3, I never gave *them* my email address. I refuse to encourage them to contact people via scraped or bought emails by responding positively in any form. The message earned a 'report as spam' instead.
I haven't looked any further at logo tools since this post, but I may have reason to try one again in the next few months. So if anyone knows of another free/affordable and ethical logo design tool besides Zarla, please share it!
Marketers, please don't do this:

Wow, awesome find!!! I’m looking forward to trying this, I need some logos too 🙌 - thank you!!
Have fun with it, Rose! I didn't spend a lot of time browsing through the icons, but they seem to have quite a few 😊
