: Logo design process templates & tools, multiple font test tool I'm trying to find resources to complete, improve and/or make easy the logo design process using templates based in grids and so

@Lengel450

You can use the Google Fonts web tool and type the name in the field "Preview Text".
Or use the well known dafont website, you can type the name in the field "Preview" (when a category is selected).

There are programs that do exactly this...generate logos from templates and lists of fonts. Here's one for example:
www.logomaker.com/
And some of the "logos" you can make using it:



Are these good logos? Impossible to say without knowing a lot more about the customer and their needs. I think most professional designers would argue that these are very formulaic, not terribly interesting, and generally boring. But sometimes that's all a client needs.

Tools like this certainly speed up the number of objects you can spit out, but I wouldn't say they improve the logo creation process. In fact, I'd say they get in the way of that. Creating a logo is about solving a problem via a very targeted solution. These software tools instead just throw random solutions at the wall hoping one sticks.

I completely understand what you are looking for and why. I recently read in the book, Logo Creed, a section about the process of logo designer Brian Miller.

He uses Freehand MX to do exactly what you are asking.

I have just started to search for this outdated program to see if it is possible to load it onto a modern mac without issues. (Let me know if you have any luck with this. I'd love to save the time in the font exploration phase as well).
