🎨 How to Create a Custom Blog Logo with CoolText and Photoshop


Before you start designing your logo, it’s important to know your blog’s width to make sure your logo fits perfectly in your header!

📏 Step 1: Check Your Blog Width

  1. Go to your blog dashboard.
  2. Click Template → Customize → Adjust Widths.
  3. Note your blog’s entire width.
  4. Click Back to Blogger when done.

Knowing this width helps you size your logo perfectly!


🌐 Step 2: Create Your Logo on CoolText

If Photoshop feels intimidating, don’t worry! You can easily make a logo online at CoolText.com, which offers tons of design options.

  • Visit CoolText.
  • Browse the designs and pick one you like. For this blog, I chose the “Iceberg” design.

⚠️ Note: Changing the design resets all your previous changes.


✍️ Step 3: Customize Your Logo Text and Style

Once you select a design, you’ll be taken to a new window where you can:

  • Type your logo text in the “Logo Text” box.
  • Choose your font, size, color, and opacity.
  • Customize the background pattern, shadow style, shadow color, and opacity.
  • Set the alignment and size of your logo based on your blog width.

💾 Step 4: Download Your Logo

  • When you’re happy with the design, choose your preferred file format:
    • .PSD (Photoshop with Layers) if you want to edit it later in Photoshop.
    • .PNG (with Transparency) if you want a ready-to-use transparent logo.
  • Click Create Logo.

You’ll be redirected to a new window where you can download or edit your logo.


🖥️ Step 5: Edit Your Logo in Photoshop (Optional)

If you downloaded the .PSD file, it will open automatically in Photoshop with layers intact — perfect for adding more text or images.

You can always return to CoolText to create new texts or designs.


👍 Creating a logo is easy and fun with CoolText, especially if you’re new to graphic design. Remember to size your logo according to your blog width for a clean and professional look.
