A Canva logo alternative for a logo made from your idea

Canva's logo templates are shared with every user, which is why its help centre says they can't be registered as trademarks. Loowgo starts from your own sketch or name instead.

The short answer

Choose Loowgo if

  • You want a logo made from your idea, not a shared template.
  • You'd rather not build a logo shape by shape.

Choose Canva templates if

  • You need a quick placeholder and already use Canva every day.
  • You enjoy designing the mark yourself from basic shapes.

Common questions

Can I keep using Canva with a Loowgo logo?

Yes. Most people make the logo in Loowgo and use Canva for everyday designs.

Is a Canva template logo bad?

Not at all for a start. It just isn't exclusive to you, so it can't be trademarked.
