As an independent consultant you probably set your own rates. The more professional you are, the more likely you’ll be able to charge more for your expertise and services. Having a logo for your business will help you look like “the real deal” so why not get one? It’s not a huge financial investment. In some cases you can even get one for free.

Try one of these sources for a logo that you’ll be proud to call your own. (Downloadable version here.)

  • Freelogodesign.org – Reasonably good options at no charge.

  • LogoClue - Starting at $29 and there’s a money back guarantee.

  • Looka - Use this AI-powered platform to create a simple logo in minutes, starting at $20 for a single image. You can also buy options like a transparent background or a social media kit.

  • 99designs - Get a more complete branding package starting at $299 (this will include things like a color palette, letterhead, etc.)

  • Fiverr - Get a logo produced in about a week for $50-$100

One you have your logo, for maximum professionalism be sure to add your brand-new logo to your LinkedIn profile. This will ensure you present yourself like this…
