Pricing
Looka offers two types of subscriptions: Brand Kit Subscription ($96/yr.) and Brand Kit Web Subscription ($192/yr.). You can also buy one-time logo packages: Basic Logo Package ($20) and Premium Logo Package ($65). There are no extra or hidden charges.
You can pay with any major credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express) or PayPal. But Discover cards are not accepted.
Subscriptions are a great choice for most customers. With your Basic Kit Subscription, you get unlimited access to your Brand Kit, which has over 300 branded templates that you can customize for your needs. You also get to edit your logo as much as you want, even after you download your files. This is very handy because many customers want to tweak their logo after using it for a while—but you can’t do that with packages. You keep the full rights to your logo even if you cancel your subscription.
The main difference between the two subscriptions is that the Brand Kit Web Subscription also creates the design of your website for you, including the photos from your industry.
If you don’t need to change your logo, buying a package might be cheaper. But the Basic Logo Package only gives you one PNG logo file, which we don’t recommend. Your logo should always be in a vector format, like SVG or EPS. So, if you’re going to buy a package, choose the Premium Logo Package, which for $45 more, gives you EPS, SVG, and PDF files, different color options, and some post-purchase edits. But you won’t get access to over 300 ready-made designs.
Final Verdict
We think Looka is more expensive than other services for what it offers, and we wish it had more variety and flexibility in its design options. We think Looka is suitable for anyone who wants to create a modern and minimalist logo without much hassle or effort, but who doesn’t mind paying a premium price for it.
