There is a classy font effect that you can use in Microsoft Word for creating a professional Logo for customers or an organization. Instead of paying a qualified designer to do it for you, you can save hundreds of dollars by doing it yourself.
 * Microsoft Word 2007: Creating Logos and Stationeries

Here are the steps in making a Logo:**


 * In MS Word, type your title - let's say, "Acme."**
 * Blow up the font size to at least 36 or 72.**
 * Select your title. Select Format > Font from your main menu to display the Font dialog box.**
 * Select the following settings:**
 * Font - I like Trebuchet and Bauhaus but experiment with different fonts.**
 * Color - White (assuming you are using a white paper. This effect works best if the font color is the same as that of the paper.)**
 * Effect - Engrave.**
 * Click OK and you've got yourself a modern looking logo or header.**
 * Spacing (in the Character Spacing tab) - Expanded by at least 10%**
 * Experiment with the other settings in the other tabs of the Font dialog box and see what happens.**
 * If you are designing a stationery, avoid the Number One Mistake that most non-designers commit: stay away from centering everything.**
 * I don't know who invented the notion that centered text is the easiest to read but it is not. The natural rhythm of the human eye is to scan a page from top-left to the bottom-right. So left-adjusting all your text would be perfectly fine.**

Why spend the extra money getting someone else to design a Logo for a company or any other reason when you can simply use Microsoft Word? **
