The billions of dollars spent by corporations around the world for branding purposes just shows how important branding is to a business. Branding is also important in blogging, which explains why serious bloggers pay professional designers as much as $5,000 dollars just to have their logos and banners done. Having your own logo and banner helps in building your own brand but there are free online tools that can help you create your own logo and save some money.
After going around, I compiled this list of free online logo makers and image editors that can help you create your own decent logo and banner.
Free Online Logo Makers
With these free online tools, you can make your logo and banner easily. These tools are easy to use and you can have your logo or banner done in minutes. You just need to be a little creative. 
1. TheFreeLogoMakers.com
TheFreeLogoMakers lets you create your own personal logo and banner in minutes. It allows you to select from a range of designs like black and white, checkered logo, spiky, swirly, deflected among others, and use it as your logo. Here are some sample logos I made in less than 5 mintues using TheFreeLogoMakers.
TheFreeLogoMakers also lets you make your custom button and custom signature. And if you like glittering or flashy texts, the glitter text generator and flash text generator will do the job.
2. CoolText.com
The CoolText.com is a very simple tool that lets you create logos, buttons and banners for your blog. All you need to do is pick a design from their catalog and start customizing it. Here are some of the design options available for you.
3. SimWebSol.com
Another handy tool in making your logo is SimWebSol. This tool is very easy to use. The result is a logo with a text reflection. Here’s a screenshot of what I made using this tool.
4. GRSites.com
GRSites.com lets you generate custom logo, banner, animated texts, flash etc. Your logo can also be created in 2D, 3D or animated format. You just need to dig a little and navigate around the pages to find the design you like. Here’s a 3D logo I made using this tool.
Free Online Image Editor
If you don’t have Photoshop or if you don’t know how to use it, then here are some free online image editors that are easy to use. The first one on the list is the one I used to make TheWeblogZone’s logo.
- Blibs - Blibs lets you upload your image and edit it. You can add texts, animate them and customize their looks. Blibs is very easy to use. You just have to spend sometime tinkering with the tools and discover how they work. You’ll be a PRO in no time.
- Online Image Editor - With this tool, you can resize or crop your images (also for animated gifs), add text to your images, add borders or overlay your images, put your image in a picture frame or add a mask, resize or crop your images, overlay your images with predefined animations, convert, sharpen, reduce size of your animated gif and so much more.
- Creating Online - Creating online image editor pretty much does the same thing that Online Image Editor do. Using this free online tool, you can resize, add text (animated texts too) etc. All you need is to spend a little time to familiarize yourself with the tools.
Hope you found the list useful. Any other free online logo maker and image editor I missed? Do share them through the comment. Thanks.

Thanks for the great links. Loved creating a new header for class blog.
You forgot to leave your link. I would love to check what come up with using these tools. Cheers.
Dear TheWeblogZone,
Let me also recommend Fotolia.com, an online image licensing service. Using professional graphics and photoshop elements (which is very innexpensive) is a allows for much more creative latitude than most logo web-sites.
