Creating logos in PowerPoint is possible, but it comes with significant challenges.
Here are a few reasons why:
1. Difficulty in Creating Main Logo Icons
PowerPoint offers a wide range of features, including the ability to combine various shapes. You can insert circles, lines, ovals, and polygons, and with some skill, even curves. However, how many people can create a logo from scratch by combining these shapes on a blank canvas? If a beginner can do that, they probably wouldn’t be looking for a logo-making expert or software in the first place.
The lack of a basic framework makes this task even more challenging.
2. Need to Verify Licensing Yourself
Some of the text fonts included in PowerPoint are available for commercial use, while others are not. So where can you find this information? It’s not readily available. Microsoft doesn’t feel the need to be that helpful. This means that even if you find a font in PowerPoint that you like, it’s your responsibility to verify the exact license for that font.
You could ask ChatGPT, but it often provides inaccurate information, so you would need to do a thorough web search to ensure accuracy.
3. Difficulty in Converting to Vector Images
While PowerPoint itself operates using vector images, the problem arises when trying to export the result as a vector (SVG). The only option is to export as a PDF and then use online tools to convert the PDF to SVG, but these tools often don’t work as expected.
