Hi everyone, the other day I was playing around with paints and I remembered something I used to do in primary school, that was symmetrical painting, I didn't even know there was an actual name for it.

Free Download Premade Gold Foil Blog Logos

On the weekend, I was testing some symbol ideas with paint and then though they would work great as logos, so I scanned them and created this set to share with you.

Keep in mind that this is not one of a kind design and it’s being made available as a freebie. Many more people might use the same logo. Being a designer myself, If you’re looking for something professional, I recommend hiring someone to create a complete branding targeted to your needs and audience.

You will need basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator to be able to edit these files. You can easily add the name of your company and tagline in each text area.

The files provided in this freebie are:
• Editable Adobe Photoshop file.
• Editable Adobe Illustrator file.
• Links to the free fonts used

If you don’t know how, can’t use the adobe programs listed above, or want to personalize the logos a bit more, email me at curlymade@gmail.com and I will create a special Etsy listing for the personalization of the logos.

The Fonts used in any of the logos are available for free and each one is listed along with the respective logo on a pdf in the link bellow. Please install the fonts before opening the files.
