Well designed signatures and good customer service

I didn’t know what to expect but ArtLogo created an inspiring signature logo for my wine business in a fairly short timeframe, and they were very receptive to my change requests too. The customer service is polite and very responsive. I definitely recommend!

Perfect service and lovely creators and on time

Artlogo has done a wonderful job designing my signature and inititals for my artbusiness Sofie B. Light Art. As an artist I needed the initials to be printable on a stamp for signing my paintings. The finetuning of the logo was done in 3 attempts as the first design was a bit to overflowing but they got the need for simple, clean and recognisable. My signature logo was perfect after 2 attempts. Good feedback from the Artlogo team at all times. They really implement your feedback. I even asked for a deadline and they made it! The watermarq feature on their site is also a win to use! I highly recommend them! Thank you ARTlogo!

I found "the one"!

I had a fantastic experience creating my signature logo. The communication was very supportive, and I felt very listened to. They also managed to create a logo that truly felt like "the one", which is kind of magic!? It only took two reviews and then we were home. All in all - super professional and super friendly at the same time. Would really recommend this service to anyone looking for a personal logo.

I recommend the artistic expressions of Artlogo!

Artlogo has done a magnificent task in helping to bring out the true essence of Techno-Science Design & Engineering. The Head Calligrapher had been very patient with me during the entire design process.
If you are looking at a logo that communicates artistically, the handwritten signature logos from Artlogo is definitely one that is not be be missed.

Ordering from Artlogo was the best decision for me and my team. We are a marketing agency of 11 people. We decided to get email signatures for all members. Each member chose their own style and received a unique signature. It was easy to communicate and request a revision (just for a few of the signatures). So, I am happy to recommend Artlogo!

I’m a travel journalist and now working on my own book and just signed a contact with a publishing agency. I dream big and I’m visualizing myself giving autographs lol. I heard of Artlogo from a friend and decided to give it a go. There are professional artists in their team and they do beautiful handwritten signatures in various calligraphy styles. I wanted something short but artsy and they made a fabulous signature autograph for me. I also bought practice sheets and now it feels like this signature has been mine since I was born. Totally worth the price.

It enriches the quality of your presentation

This is the second signature logo I get from Artlogo. I use them to watermark my pictures before posting on the net. It makes your work look professional and more valuable.
I have received many compliments about how beautiful my signature looks.

Superior product & service! #BlownAway

I ordered my second logo and Artlogo once again shattered my expectations. Their generosity in time and effort is simply outstanding. Not only do they possess excellent design skills (working with you until you are thrilled with the result), they provide a plethora of files for use in any capacity. I can't imagine a better product or service!

I recently started my own beauty studio and needed a logo that stands out. Artlogo made a beautiful logo for me. The first try wasn’t exactly what I needed and they did edits absolutely for free. It also included a custom drawing which I loved soo much. 100% recommend.

1st class

I was sceptical to order, but took the plunge. I have to say the communication has been great. The signature produced was first class, so much so I'm now going to order several other add ons that they offer. I can not fault the service given to myself

ARTLOGO - AMAZING HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURES!!!

Everyone knows that ordering online can sometimes be challenging at best... Sam and Tracy from "Artlogo" have been excellent. They made adjustments three times for me.
I can't thank them enough for their fast responses to every email. It's one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.
