Whether you’re launching a new business or refreshing your brand, Canva’s user-friendly tools and customizable templates make the process straightforward. In this guide, I’ll show you how to create a simple logo using Canva, step-by-step, so you can have a polished design ready to use in no time. We’ll use a pizza restaurant as an example.

Step 3: Customize the Logo

Click on the icon and text to change colors—you could use red, green, and white for an Italian-themed pizza place. Edit the text with the restaurant name, like “Tony’s Pizza”, and add a tagline if needed, e.g., “Hot & Fresh.” Choose a bold, readable font. Center the icon above the text or use a side-by-side layout for versatility.

***Optional*** If you want to make your logo more unique you can generate an illustration in Dream Lab in Canva.  Have your favorite AI Agent generate a prompt to create the illustration.  You can also upload the illustration into AI and ask for a prompt similar to the illustration.
