20 Free Logos for Photographers

Who doesn't appreciate free stuff? I know I do when it's something of value. The designers of all the fonts used were kind enough to give away their font designs so I decided to put them together into logos photographers could use. These free logos are PSD templates you can easily change in Photoshop or even Photoshop Elements for your photog biz. I kept them simple and elegant because that is often the best in my opinion. You can of course use these as starter logo templates and add your flare as you see fit. More on that below…

Logo Mockups

Here are some logo mockups just to give you some more examples of how they look.

Editing the Free Logos

I designed these logos in Photoshop and they are all high resolution (300DPI) versions using totally free fonts. If you don't have Photoshop they will even open in Photoshop Elements. They are all on white backgrounds you can easily remove or change to your liking. I left all the text editable of course so you can easily type in your own name and change “photography” to something else, such as “wedding photographer” or “photography & video”. I centered all the text, but while creating them I did notice that the word “photography” does has a space after it you can't see from the images, but should be removed and re-centered for your final logo. You can do that by rasterizing both fonts and re-centering them. You can always nudge the type over a bit so it looks good. Then export to high-res JPEG or TIFF file if you plan on using it for print.

Exporting your Logo for the Web

If you want to use your logo on the web I'd crop the whitespace around it so it's really close to the edges of the type. Then remove the white background layer by deleting it or unchecking it so it's not visible. Then go to File > Save for Web and change the dimensions to something smaller… say 300px wide (or whatever you prefer). Make sure to choose PNG-24 so you can have a transparent background. The settings should look like those below.

Download Logo Files

All 20 free logos are available in a zipped file available for download once you subscribe to my newsletter. In the zip file you will find a text file with links to all the free fonts used. Each logo is in a separate PSD file. Hope you like them! If you use one for your photo biz let me know by leaving a comment below. And hey, these are editable so you can use them for whatever business you have, even if it's not for photography.

Other Options ( Premium Logo Templates)

If the logos above don't suit your fancy you can always purchase a bundle of logo templates specifically made for photographers. Here are some bundles you can check out if you want. Be sure to check out if the logos are in PSD format or in AI format because you'll either need Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator to edit the AI files.

They are so nice but I cant use them. Photoshop is not letting me edit the texts because I have not the fonts you used.
nikki on July 11, 2014 at 6:58 PM

Hello I tweeted it about two times an still can’t figure out how to download these fonts!
John Hendricks on July 29, 2014 at 10:00 PM

Will your photoshop actions work in photoshop elements 10 as well?

Thanks,
John
tiffany on September 1, 2014 at 5:58 PM

I was wondering how you change the text to the logos. I want my name listed instead of what your have.
Whitney on September 11, 2014 at 3:33 PM

Thank you so much for these free logos!!
Maria Costa on September 13, 2014 at 12:44 PM

Lovely! Thanks for sharing with us!
Jeff Hendrickson on September 22, 2014 at 8:06 AM

Hi Tiffany, you need to open the PSD in Photoshop and edit the text that way.
Jeff Hendrickson on September 22, 2014 at 8:15 AM

Hi Nikki, sent you a download link.
Jeff Hendrickson on September 22, 2014 at 8:19 AM

Hi John, I think you meant to say templates and I’m not sure. I’d test them out. The list of fonts used is included in the download and the logos are easily re-creatable in Elements if that’s what you use.
Katie on October 27, 2014 at 9:32 PM

It will not let me use this as my photoshop does not have the fonts you use. Any ideas to get this to work?
Jeff Hendrickson on October 27, 2014 at 11:54 PM

Hi Katie, the list of fonts used is in a text file in the download folder… but I just updated this post with the list of fonts used and where to download them. Hope that helps.
Allie on November 1, 2014 at 5:01 PM

Hi, I am not quite sure what I need to do after I download the fonts to get them into photoshop. I know it sounds like a silly question but I am technologically challenged! haha!
Aster Max on November 3, 2014 at 2:40 PM

Tried everything to get the site to let me download (removed all ad blockers etc.) and still can’t figure out how to make it happen. Can you help me out? Much appreciated!!
Jeff Hendrickson on November 4, 2014 at 1:32 AM

Sent you a link Aster. Hope the logos work out great for you!
Jeff Hendrickson on November 4, 2014 at 1:34 AM

Hi Allie, basically all you need to do is install them. If you are on a PC it’s as easy and right clicking on them and selecting Install. Once the fonts are installed you can open up Photoshop and they’ll be there. If you are on a Mac you might have to google how to install fonts on a Mac. Hope that helps.
Kristin on November 8, 2014 at 3:42 PM

Are the png files still available for the logos? When I tweet this and then go to download, I am only seeing the fonts. I most definitely appreciate whatever is given, but would love the logo and don’t know if I am overlooking something. Thank you!
Jeff Hendrickson on November 9, 2014 at 3:35 AM

Hi Kristin, are you not seeing the download link? The logo templates are in a zip folder you download to your desktop. You just have to unzip that and you’ll see them.
Lucy Tran on November 21, 2014 at 9:08 AM

Hi Jeff,

I really like the Katie Marie logo, but I can’t seem to find the font used in your list. Can you tell me which font it is and how I can download it?. Thank you very much!

Lucy.
Jeff Hendrickson on November 21, 2014 at 3:48 PM

Hi Lucy, the link is now updated. They changed their URL’s, that’s why the link was broken. It’s fixed now.
Anastasiya on November 28, 2014 at 10:46 AM

Hi! I subscribed to the list by email, but didn’t get the download link after. I will really appreciate if you send it to me. Lovely job, thank you!
Jeff Hendrickson on December 2, 2014 at 4:11 AM

Hi Anastasiya, can you check your spam folder? I’ve sent an email in case you didn’t receive the original email. And thanks!
Korin on December 2, 2014 at 8:05 PM

Love this list of fonts! I’m not sure about the others, but I’m familiar with the Channel font and the license is very clear that it’s free for personal use only, so using it for a business logo isn’t allowed. I’m excited to look through the rest and find some new completely free fonts to use, though!
Jeff Hendrickson on December 2, 2014 at 8:42 PM

Hi Korin, thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t notice the Channel font was for personal use only. If anyone is looking for the business license it can be acquired here for $59.

In my opinion I don’t know if many people will actually use it for their logo as with most fonts only certain letters and words look good and look good together. So even though Channel looks good using the font, if you typed in Korin using the custom preview on dafont’s page you might think the K looks kinda weird. So you really have to test the fonts out so everything looks good if you’re buying one just to use for your logo.
brittni on December 8, 2014 at 3:28 PM

You have some great fonts here, but your post is so confusing!
brittni on December 8, 2014 at 3:29 PM

Can you tell me, which of your download links is for ‘Studio & Office”? I don’t recognize it but would like to get it! 🙂 Thank you
Jeff Hendrickson on December 9, 2014 at 12:13 AM

Hi Brittni, the font for that logo is called Gabriela and located here. And yeah I agree this post is a little confusing, it could have been laid out better.
Sacha on December 27, 2014 at 5:32 PM

Hi, how should I save this in Photoshop if I want to use it for a logo to make business cards? And how do I save it to use as my watermark logo on my images? Thanks!
Debbie on January 8, 2015 at 9:59 PM

Could you also sent me a link to download the free fonts? Thanks!
Jeff Hendrickson on January 9, 2015 at 2:11 PM

Hi Debbie, the links to all the fonts are actually in this post. I’m not sure how you missed them.
julie on February 4, 2015 at 6:46 PM

Thanks! These are great!!
Tanya on February 19, 2015 at 1:03 AM

Alex Brush is owned by Rob Fonts. That one, along with Channel, are not free for business use. DaFont.com has MANY bootleg fonts on their site. I know for a fact, that Rob looks for his fonts online and sues. Please be careful when using ANY font for your business.
Jeff Hendrickson on February 19, 2015 at 5:53 PM

Tanya, the font Alex Brush is owned by Rob Leuschke and is licensed under SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. So as I understand it there are no limits of what you can do with the font other than reselling it as your own. You can edit the font and redistribute it if you care to. If you or anyone is worried about using Alex Brush you’re free to purchase a license to it from MyFonts.com. It’s $24.95 to own a license to it.

And as I mentioned in a comment above there is a commercial license if you choose to purchase it available for the Chanel font.
Natia on February 22, 2015 at 9:12 AM

Hi there, I love the Matchbook Photography combination.
I would just like to know what font is used with Matchbook, the one that Photography is in?
Manny on February 23, 2015 at 9:51 AM

Jeff great list , question , I’m trying to get the “Ben Miller” font but not seeing ti in your revised font download list ? Thanks
Jeff Hendrickson on February 26, 2015 at 3:48 AM

Hi Manny, the font is called Intro and it’s the inline version. Download the fonts and select inline as the font in Photoshop or whatever you’re using.
Jeff Hendrickson on February 26, 2015 at 3:51 AM

Hi Natia, the word Photography in the Matchbook logo is called Quicksand… it’s in the Fonts Used list at the bottom of this post.
Natia on February 28, 2015 at 5:33 PM

Thanks so much! 🙂
Andrea on March 3, 2015 at 10:34 PM

Love these!
Andrea on March 3, 2015 at 10:35 PM

Michelle on March 22, 2015 at 7:56 AM

I absolutely love the logos…So excited to download one! 😀
Michelle on March 22, 2015 at 8:15 AM

I already confirmed my email but haven’t received an email with the links to download the logos…:(
Jeff Hendrickson on March 24, 2015 at 2:23 PM

Hi Michelle, can you check your spam folder or do a quick search for “Hendrickson”… it could be in your promotions tab in gmail if you have that enabled. If you still can’t find it please email me and I’ll send you the link.
Michelle on April 6, 2015 at 2:08 AM

Thanks Jeff… I found is.. 🙂
urmi.daga89 on April 13, 2015 at 12:17 AM

Hey, i can’t see the download link either. Iwant to use the Katie marie logo
Jeff Hendrickson on April 13, 2015 at 12:37 AM

You have to subscribe to the newsletter to get the download link. I was using a different system before where you had to like me on facebook or twitter to unlock the link, but many people had issues unlocking the link so I switched to a newsletter. You get the download link in an email immediately after subscribing.
urmi.daga89 on April 13, 2015 at 12:39 AM

Hey, I got the download link. But m unable to change the text as i don’t have the Katie Marie font. The list of fonts you put up above, doesn’t have Katie Marie font either. Can you tell me which one is it?!
urmi.daga89 on April 13, 2015 at 12:45 AM

Ok i figured it! yay! thanks
Kira on April 15, 2015 at 1:25 AM

I like either the Katie Marie or Gina Smith – what are the fonts to those? Thanks! LOVE this post and look forward to more 🙂
Jeff Hendrickson on April 17, 2015 at 11:46 AM

Hi Kira, thank you! Those are #6 and #13 on the list of fonts at the bottom of the post. I should have numbered them in the main graphic so they’re easier to find.
Diego Agudelo on May 7, 2015 at 8:02 PM

Got it!
Thank you so much for your work!
Jenifer Crawford on July 5, 2015 at 6:11 PM

Hello,

I’ve tried signing up for your newsletter, and still haven’t gotten an email to verify. I’ve followed all the suggestions you gave to others, and still can’t find an email. I’d love to be signed up for your newsletter, and to get your download.

Thanks!
Jeff Hendrickson on July 8, 2015 at 10:44 PM

I’ve signed you up Jen so all should be good now. Thanks for signing up!
Jan Armstrong on July 11, 2015 at 6:27 AM

🙂 Just click “download”, then when a box that pops up and says “Open with winRAR” or “Save File”, check the one that says “Open with WinRAR”, then highlight the font you just downloaded (for instance, Valentina.whatever) and go up to the top bar where it says, Add, Extract To, Test… Click on Extract To. Then click Desktop in the file log to the right hand side of the file location selection box that pops up. Save the file to your desktop. Then minimize everything and look on your desktop for the file. Double click on the file, and it will have a button that says “Install”. Click on that, click yes, bada-bing, bada-boom! That’s what I did after getting kind of frustrated. I had to put it on my desktop so I could find the files when I was done downloading. It’s too much of a hassle to put them in a specific file (for me, anyway!). They are installed in my Photoshop CS6 and work perfectly! Thanks so much for these!
Darcy Wheeler on July 16, 2015 at 4:15 PM

I also need a download link. Signed up for the newsletter, but haven’t received anything.

Hi I was able to down load the logo but I can’t figure out how to edit the text in photoshop. thanks
AnnaLena on October 7, 2017 at 11:16 PM

Hi, my website is under construction at the moment. Would love the 20 free logo files 🙂

Thanks
AnnaLena on October 7, 2017 at 11:21 PM

My company name is “Photography by AnnaLena”, can I edit the logo so my name is large and the photography word small? Your samples all show it the other way.
Jeff Hendrickson on October 8, 2017 at 1:30 PM

Hi, yes, that’s easy to do in Photoshop.
kelly on December 12, 2017 at 4:14 AM

Can’t download the logo ..Is it gonna work on Gimp ..?
Urvish kathiriya on December 13, 2017 at 1:27 AM

very good i like it’s good job
thank you
Jeff Hendrickson on December 13, 2017 at 7:35 PM

Hi Kelly, I’ve made a button to directly download the logos so its easier. Also, you’ll have to test them in Gimp as I have not done that. If it can open PSDs then it should work.
Wilson Sabadin on May 1, 2018 at 8:00 PM

Jeff Hendrickson on October 31, 2019 at 12:53 PM

Hi Riza, there should be tutorials on Youtube on how to edit text in photoshop. Otherwise, just click the T tool, and then click on the text to edit it. Then save it as a Gif or Jpeg.
