Creating a Logo with CoolText.com
If you want a free logo fast and you don’t mind doing it yourself, try CoolText.com at — you guessed it — www.cooltext.com. This Web site generates graphics while you wait, according to the options that you choose. The process is simple and fun, and there’s no limit to the number of logos you can experiment with.
Not only are its logos cool, but so are the site’s legal requirements: none, zip, nada. There’s no copyright issue to deal with, no ads stuck in the middle of things, and no fine print of any kind. As an act of gratitude for such a great service, you may want to add a link back to this site from yours, but even that’s not required.
Although CoolText.com doesn’t hold a copyright on the logos you create, you probably do. I’m not a lawyer (and I don’t even play one on TV), but it seems to me that the decisions you make during the course of designing the logos qualify them as artistic creations. Don’t take my word for it, though. If this point is important for your situation, check with an attorney who really knows copyright law or e-mail the U.S. Copyright Office at copyinfo@loc.gov.
