Finding fonts to use seems easy enough, you can peruse any number of websites that offer free fonts for download, however, most of the time those fonts are for personal use only – meaning, they are not to be used for any project that has commercial potential. A font with a commercial use license allows you to use the font for public purposes, such as in a logo or advertising. Generally speaking, commercial-use fonts cost money and can be found online. All of the fonts in the Logo Design Studio Pro Online library are licensed for commercial-use and are royalty free, so you never have to worry about illegal use.

OpenType Fonts

All the fonts in Logo Design Studio Pro Online are OpenType, which is the industry standard for fonts, and are created by all major font foundries including SummitType™, a division of Summitsoft Corporation. OpenType fonts are scalable to very large sizes without compromising clarity – they stay sharp at any size.

Choosing The Right Font

Now that you are ready to select your fonts, feel free to experiment with different looks and different fonts. Try your name in all caps or all lowercase, you never know what will look good until you try it! Many designers start a new logo with the font, once you have the font nailed down the rest of the design can flow from that style.

A simple rule when it comes to fonts: Keep it Simple. Don’t go overboard and see how many different fonts you can jam into a single design. Generally two different fonts in any given design is a good start. Within those two fonts, it’s okay to use styles such as bold or italic if needed.
