Fiverr Logo Maker vs a custom logo designer, which should you choose?
This guide contains paid links. If you buy through them, Brand Sprout Works may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. How this works.
The short answer: use Fiverr Logo Maker if you need a clean logo today and can live with a design that is not exclusive to you. Hire a custom designer if the logo will carry your brand for years, go on products, or needs to stand out from competitors.
How Fiverr Logo Maker works
According to Fiverr’s help center, Logo Maker suggests designs based on work by Fiverr freelancers, adjusted to your business with AI. You can create and customize a logo for free, and you pay only when you buy a package to download it. Delivery is immediate after checkout.
- The editor (desktop only) lets you change colors, fonts, layout and shapes.
- The Professional and Unlimited packages include an editable SVG source file and a social media kit.
- Free revisions after purchase come only with the Unlimited package.
- You get full rights to use the logo commercially, but Fiverr notes that the same base design could be sold to others, so customizing it is recommended.
How a custom designer is different
A designer on the Fiverr marketplace starts from your brief, sends you original concepts, and revises the one you choose. It takes days instead of minutes, and you depend on their communication. In return, you get a logo nobody else has, shaped around your audience.
Side by side
| Fiverr Logo Maker | Custom designer | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a finished logo | Minutes | Usually days |
| Exclusive to you | No, the base design can be reused | Yes |
| Starts from | Your name and preferences | Your brief |
| Changes after purchase | Editor, plus revisions on the Unlimited package | Revisions set by the package |
| Best for | Side projects, testing an idea, a placeholder brand | A business you plan to grow |
A simple way to decide
- Will the logo go on things you sell, such as packaging or merchandise? Choose a custom designer.
- Are you still testing the business idea? Start with Logo Maker and upgrade later.
- Do competitors in your niche look alike? A custom designer can help you stand apart.
Many people do both: start with Logo Maker to launch, then hire a designer to refine it once the business proves itself. If you go custom, our guide to hiring a logo designer on Fiverr walks through it.
