Good design is crucial
Whether you are a photographer, content creator, or a business owner, having a professional logo is important. Logos tell the world what you are about, what emotion one should feel about your brand, and they allow you to put a unique stamp on your work.
Your logo should not look like it was an afterthought.
Professional-looking logos are absolutely crucial, but hiring a professional designer to make one for you can be quite costly.
Yet, design is not as simple as many people seem to think it is. Without proper guidance a design can convey the wrong message, be completely inappropriate for a given niche, or carry unintended (and disruptive) nuances. This can be disastrous for your brand.
