Tailor, for Do-it-yourself logo design
Sometimes you simply cannot afford to hire a professional designer. Tailor is "logo design made simple" -- a way to create a logo on a small budget in just five minutes. If you like what Tailor creates, the tool provides multiple inexpensive purchase options (less than $100). You might even find a coupon code available here.
Although great branding and a unique logo are an important part of success, the most important element of success is a great product or service. Good branding can't fix a poor customer experience.
Sometimes all you need is a simple logo to help you get started and can't afford to hire a professional. Give Tailor a try. This might be just the tool you need.
Go to tailorbrands.com Or contact us for truly custom branding and a personalized expert experience.
