Pre-designed logos are ready-made logos that a business can purchase and start using right away. Most pre-designed logos can be downloaded immediately or within 24 hours, which can be a great advantage to companies that are in a hurry to meet a deadline.

However, there are a couple of things that should be considered before purchasing a pre-designed logo. Some ready made logos are not exclusive, which means that they can be sold over and over again. A company logo is basically an extension of its business name. You wouldn’t want the business next to you to have the same identical name would you? The same holds true for your business logo so make sure you purchase an exclusive logo when buying a pre-designed logo or that the customization that you add makes it unique.

Formatting is another thing that should be considered when selecting a ready-made logo. If you are only going to use the logo for your website and to print it on your letterhead, envelopes and business cards you can probably get away with using a 300 dpi .jpg. However, if you ever need to enlarge your logo you will need to have a graphic artist reproduce it into a vector format. Some pre-designed logos are available in a vector format already. Try to find one that is to avoid the extra expense and trouble of converting it later.

Pre-designed logos sometimes called logo templates, can be a real cost saving way to purchase a business logo, if you can find one that “fits” your company’s needs. 99Designs offers pre-designed logos at a very affordable price.
