It should be your own design and not a template found on the web.
To build your brand, you need to know what your brand equals or what you want it to equal.
Write down all the characteristics that describe what you are and how you would like to be perceived.
Once you compile that list, you could fine-tune it and make sure you have full command of your brand in order to reach your customers and, more importantly, your potential customers.
The adjectives and characteristics that make up your brand ideally differentiate you from your competitors and provide a clear understanding of what you are about.
