You look different from the person next to you and the person next to him or her. Following along the same lines, don’t you want your logo to be different and unique from the rest of the crowd? Countless times I arrive on a website and I see the standard Wordpress or Blogger theme with no unique favicon or logo. On the other end of the spectrum I have seen websites and companies spending hundreds of dollars just to create a logo.

At the start of the Web2.0 craze creating a logo meant designing a branded, colorful, aesthetically pleasing image which is meant to grab the attention of the visitors. But this does not meant throwing more money at the designer. There are hundreds of talented graphics designers out there who are eager to get their work published. You can probably find some of the best designers on sites such as DigitalPoint. One such designer named Adrian was recently featured on CourtneyTuttle.com blog.

Spending money, however, is not an option for many webmasters who are just starting out. If that is the case then either learn Photoshop or Gimp or unearth websites which will automatically generate logos for you. One such site is Logo Creatr which generates some of the best clean logos I have seen. There are other similar websites which generate templates and favicons. Sometime in the future I will collect the various free online logo, favicon, banner and template creating services in to one post. Till then Google what you need and be prepared to spend some time doing research.

Last night during my late night / early morning ice cream tasting I wondered how many websites there are on the internet. My mind flowed freely and it might have been also stimulated by the high sugar level. I started to compare websites and people. Let’s have a comparison shall we.

Websites are fairly easy to make - one person can make 2 or more sites of varying designs. But so are people - get a man, a woman and one or more bottles of wine and there is the potential of creating another person.

Websites come in all sizes, shapes, colors; some are pretty and stupid and some rich and ugly. But it is very difficult to find a smart, rich and pretty site all in one domain … Just like us humans.

Several entitles can collaborate and build a website. Think of how a wiki is made although most CMS’s allow for group input. Same thing goes for people. To ‘build’ (or rather, create) another person you need at least one man and one man but it can also be a group project - such as one woman and two men or two women and one man or any combination of men and women.

In conclusion it is quite clear that creating a website is as easy as creating a human. Following this logic and the rate at which human population is expanding and number or websites and active domains is increasing everyone can conclude websites would very soon outnumber people.
