Canva is limited to a small selection of fonts, which includes some outdated ones. Further, the available fonts are not well matched for different uses. For example, web fonts and sans serif designs would be more appropriate than Times New Roman or Cambria in many cases because they're easier on the eyes. We've also learned (the hard way) that it's difficult for brand continuity. Most of the fonts on Canva aren't available as web fonts, so it can prove difficult if you're trying to match your brand and web typography.

One of the biggest reasons to avoid using Canva is that you won't be able to trademark your logo. You can trademark a word or phrase if it's distinctive and not widely used, but when one company designs their logo with this software, they're at risk of infringing on another company's copyright as well- even if both companies are in different industries. This is because the minimalist style and design elements that are used for all Canva templates make it hard to distinguish between one logo and another when they're placed side-by-side.

Canva is not a professional-level design software, so anything you produce cannot be exported as an actual vector. This means your logo will become pixelated when you try to scale it and print on larger materials -- usually, it becomes very blurry or illegible. Although Canva allows you to download JPEG, PNG, and SVG versions of your logo, the SVGs won't import into Adobe Illustrator, so if you need to have any tweaks performed by a professional, you'll likely end up having to get the whole thing recreated.

We hope that this article has shown you why you should (please) avoid using Canva for your business logo at all costs. If you want to create a high-quality logo for your business, don't use Canva. The company's lack of vector options and trademarking capabilities make it difficult to produce quality logos that will last as long as the business does. You need professional designers on hand who can work with Adobe Illustrator or other design software programs if you ever have any changes made to your logo in the future. Using a more experienced designer, you'll be able to protect your brand identity from infringement by designing logos with unique designs that are easy to recognize when placed next to others.
