Luxury Logo Design – Hand-Lettered , Not AI-Generated

After decades of dedicated work and 229 career logo design assignments completed, I now offer luxury hand-lettered logo designs for clients who value authentic, award-winning identity work — for brands that prioritize craft over convenience.

I don’t create algorithm-generated logos using AI. Instead, I begin every logo by hand, crafting unique letterforms before converting them into high-resolution digital artwork in vector, Illustrator and or Photoshop formats.

I never present a logotype using a standard, computer-generated font. My work is grounded in specialized hand-lettering training from a renowned NYC typographer at Pratt Institute, ( A top New York design college) combined with 35 years of experience in typographic design. This expertise has earned me 31 design awards for logos that stand out for their exceptional quality and distinctiveness.

This is how timeless identity has always been done. Your business or product identity shouldn’t be rushed, templated, or left to an algorithm.

Once I accept your project, I commit many focused hours to ensure your business, product, or service receives a visual identity that is exclusive — one that doesn’t look like the millions of stock symbols and AI-generated logotypes flooding the internet.

My process is slower than AI-generated alternatives — typically taking 2–3 weeks — because there’s lasting value in a handcrafted logo. Beautiful, exclusive things take time. Ted’s logos are called Luxury Logo Design for a reason: each is hand-lettered by a master craftsman. Every logo is thoughtfully created, many letterforms customized to reflect the soul of your brand.

In Phase 1, my clients receive 3 to 6 preliminary, black and white hand-rendered logo designs to choose from (based on your budget). There are no templates and no instant, mediocre AI designs.

Phases 2 and 3 involve transforming the selected hand-lettered design into a digital master using Adobe Illustrator (vector art) and/or high-resolution Photoshop files. This ensures your logo looks razor-sharp both online and at large sizes — like trade show banners or vehicle wraps.

You’ll also receive 4–8 color study options, since color is a highly subjective and a very important impactful design element — just like choosing décor for your home. I’m always happy to explore your color ideas, but I’ll also offer expert suggestions based on your brand and design.

Investment

The price for a truly custom, professional logo is more affordable than you might expect. But every job is different depending on the complexity of what you are looking for and the number of characters needed in your logotype. Please call Ted for a free

review of what you have or have in mind and a live phone consultation and a formal price quote will follow within hours.

In a world where your business faces an ocean of competition, it’s more important than ever to stand out. Choose a logo designed by hand — not by algorithm — because your identity should look like art. Choose a designer who truly loves his craft and will promise you a meticulous, very creative logotype design.

Working with Ted is easy, professional, efficient — and has even been described as “an enjoyable creative process.” by his clients. Just check out Ted’s 36 five-star Google reviews (and many more on his website) to see why. Ted’s hand-lettered and digitally created company logos are award winners and have been published in numerous issues of American Corporate Identity over the years.

Ted DeCagna has won 31 logo design awards (40 design awards in total) and 55 of his logos have been published in numerous design books including American Corporate Identity, American Graphic Design & Advertising and The Big Book of Logos.
