Inkscape is perfect for logos, especially SVG and is completely free, unlike alternatives.
However, there is one important detail missing: you need a lot of prior experience with design/photography to come up with anything decent, otherwise your untrained in this subject brain would not be able to decide what looks good and what doesn't.
The hope here was to show folks that with a great font and a few shapes you can get 80% of the way there - especially if your startup is just getting going and you don't have the resources to hire someone. People tend to take a longer time because of indecision - they sit and fiddle with fonts and shapes and case and colors - hopefully this piece takes decision making out for folks (or at least narrows the decisions down for them)
No, totally understand and that makes a lot of sense. I think there is a lot more to it when someone is looking to get a very professional logo/brand done. Thanks for writing this!

Pretty sure I will take longer than 5 minutes but some of the stuff in this guide is super interesting.
