The fonts the key

Having a company logo can really boost the appearance of your business, it can make your business card something a lot more memorable, can be an eye catching advert on your facebook page or on the side of your vehicle. Getting a graphic designer to produce you a professional and original logo is well worth it and can cost from about £140 so isn't a bank breaking investment but if you are watching your funds when you start up give yourself a graphic boost by jumping onto a free font website and picking a font that doesn't come as part of the standard font range on your pc, it really is worth an hours effort.

You don't need any special graphics packages to use the fonts once you get them and install them on your computer. A lot of the sites have simple install guides to help you do this. Once the fonts are on your computer you can just open up any document creation package and start using it. If you don't have anything like Microsoft Word, try a great free software package called Open Office, totally free and all the same products as Microsoft Office but with out the price tag.

As an example of what you can produce, we went onto a font site and typed our name into the preview box and selected the top downloaded fonts of that site and here's what the first 4 selections were.

I would happily pick any of these for my business name font and that was me only picking one of the first options on the site and i have had a really good result.

There are thousands of fonts you can choose from that are free and easy to use, so why not take that extra bit of time when you are putting together information about your business, grab yourself a free font and stand out from the crowd.

To get a good selection of sites just google free fonts and start from there. If you would like some help putting together a brand identity give us a call and we can help get you started or we can get our graphic designer to help really get you on the move.
