How to do it, step by step

  1. Ask ChatGPT: "Give me 5 simple logo ideas for a [business] called [name]. Include colors."
  2. Open Canva and search "logo" plus your type of business.
  3. Pick a simple template. Change the name, font and colors to match your favorite idea.
  4. Check it small. If you can't read it at thumbnail size, simplify it.
  5. Download it as a PNG with a transparent background (or a regular PNG on the free plan).
Tip: Simple wins. Two colors and one easy-to-read font is plenty.
