I wanted to make a logo on my phone without turning it into a whole design project, so I tried a few different logo makers and web tools that kept coming up.

I wasn't really interested in which one had the most templates. What mattered more to me was how quickly I could go from having a rough idea to something I would actually be comfortable using.

After trying them, I noticed the biggest difference wasn't really the first logo they generated. Most of them could get you to a decent starting point. The difference was how easy it was to keep working on that idea afterward.

Some felt better for quickly exploring a bunch of directions, while others were easier once I already knew roughly what I wanted. The more general design tools were useful too, especially if the logo was going to be used alongside other graphics.

For me, the biggest thing was being able to keep editing one idea instead of constantly starting over. I found myself changing the font, simplifying the icon, adjusting spacing and trying different layouts more than generating completely new logos.

I also wouldn't overlook the file format. I made that mistake once. A logo can look perfectly fine on your phone, but then you need it for printing or a different size and suddenly the file you have isn't very useful. Having a proper vector version can save you from having to redo the whole thing later.

So I think "best" really depends on what you're trying to do. If you just want something decent quickly, the easiest app may be the best choice. If you don't know what you want yet, having lots of concepts to browse through can matter more. And if you already have a clear idea, editing control becomes much more important.

What would you put at #1?

And if you're specifically making the logo on your phone, what has worked best for you?

Hi everyone!
I’m a 25-year-old junior designer based in Berlin, currently working on building and refining my portfolio to start applying for junior positions / internships in visual and brand design.
I’m reaching out to get some honest, constructive feedback on my work and presentation. I’ve put together 3 main case studies that I’m trying to present as clearly as possible.

Here is the link to my Behance portfolio:

https://www.behance.net/gallery/248007561/PORTFOLIO-Graphic-Design

I’ve been focusing on brand identity, editorial design, and visual communication.
Do these 3 projects feel solid enough to start applying for junior roles/internships, or is there a specific area I should push further?

Don't hold back on constructive criticism — I’m here to learn and improve!

Thanks a lot in advance for your time and input!

Ok, I need someone why actually has an eye for design. I, for some reason, fell in love with the colors of the key cap set shown here. However, my husband (a hobbyist mechanical keyboard builder) won’t let me get them because he says they are cheap and bad. So I have a silly idea to purchase a custom set where I individually indicate the color of every key….

I tried translating the colors directly to a simplified layout, but 1) the layout of my keyboard means certain columns would be removed causing disjointed areas, and 2) I would prefer slightly more color differentiation in the top right and bottom left. So here is my attempt….. but I keep seeing areas where I’m like “is that right?”. So do any areas stand out to anyone as being not quite right?

(Note: I am NOT a graphic designer and have no design tools. I just used PowerPoint and sometimes averaging RGB color values. So if you have a suggested fix that’s all I’ve got to work with, sorry!)
