A short YouTube monologue by Christina Hall advising small-business owners who must use Canva for logos to avoid Canva's repeatable logo templates—she argues generic templates harm brand distinctiveness and says a plain text name is preferable to a widely copied template. She also notes she offers a course teaching how to create better logos in Canva affordably or for free.

Sometimes on this app I will comment on a video before I've watched the entire video. And I think that's what happened here because this is exactly what I address at the very end of the video that this comment is coming from. People who do not have funding available for advertising branding. You live in a small town. I get it. You can still use Canva without using the Canva logo templates that they provide, which, as you can see in the video that I demonstrated, they are being used over and over and over and over again. It's literally detrimental to your brand. You are better off having no logo than using a logo that has been copy and pasted over and over and over again across the Internet, being used by thousands and thousands of businesses. Your logo would literally be better off being Times New Roman. Just your business name and nothing else. Back to my original point though, at the end of the video that this comment is coming from. I literally state if you are in a space where you have to use Canva for your logo, which means you are in the financial space, you can't afford professional branding. I have a course that shows you how to use Canva for free or for very, very low cost to create.
