A logo is just as important for startups as it is for big brands. It is a visual representation of your company that serves as a symbol for your values, mission, and personality. These mostly free apps come in two styles—templates, where you choose an icon and personalize it with your company name and tagline or identify your style preferences in an iterative process. There are endless options and varieties among this list of free logo design software.

Who remembers what it’s like knowing you’re going to be laid off? There are rumors and rumblings, of course. The causes are varied but generally driven by economics. It may be a matter of downsizing or organizational changes that come with mergers and acquisitions. Maybe it’s innovation initiatives and you don’t fit in. Perhaps you’ve inherited a new boss who just plain doesn’t like you. It also could be because you’re too old.
