Theres nobody who produce such effective yet still entertaining tutorials like you. Youre true legend, Dansky! Thank you for you work!

[@ForeverDansky]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much 😃

[@mohamednimhas9651]

The last one expand the object and use pathfinder trim to cut all Then use same color fill and delete white areas all done! Rather than selecting one by one. Great useful video 👍

[@webfan7520]

I love the shirt you have. Can you consider doing a tutorial on making theme art series or logos to be converted into shirts? Like what colors to use, the best area coverage, front or back or both? Frames or blend-ins? etc.

[@ForeverDansky]

I haven’t done a lot of design specifically for clothing to be honest. Definitely something I’d love to explore more in future though! Charley Pangus has a great channel where he does a lot of clothing-related design 👍

[@crystalkirkman]

Good stuff! Just implemented all these rules today. Cleaning it up is key, but don’t forget to save an edible file separately in case you do need to make additional edits. 😀

[@jphilpotts777]

Thanks Dansky for another great video to improve our logo creation skills. As a beginner, still trying to understand the concept of shapes and strokes and how and when to unite them so that the shapes/strokes don't turn into one solid shape. If you have a video on that, please let me know.

[@HarisAli-sk5ks]

Lovely.❤ Also waiting for your next live design stream where we can share our designs. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome easy tips for a better and cleaner logo design! Thank You!!!

[@helberttt9460]

The cleaning up tip really opened my vision, Thank you soo much😂👏

[@johnsteed9083]

Mr. D - have you ever considered doing something on the Substance suite? I know there's stuff out there already but you da man.

[@JerryN7970]

Instead of the shape builder tool to clean up the cup, after expanding, I use Merge in the pathfinder. It separates all the black and white in one fell swoop while keeping everything looking the same as before. Then I magic wand the black and lock it all down. Then with the group selection tool select all the unlocked elements (which should be white and clear) and delete.

[@Simran_World1]

Thanks for sharing shape builder tips.

[@jameralist]

this is so valuable, I never even know about the rule of third for logo layout

[@kevinfoo8031]

Great video. We are a company that does a lot of signage work though we are not one. So files are sent but we are at times "cleaning up" their files with deleting clipping masks etc. The sign companies that send are so lazy, why must they be like that?

[@Graphicdesigner-Sourov]

Take love dear ❤ Thanks for give a beginner tips 😊

[@Edwins1984]

Rule of third, use this not as much as i liked, thank for the reminder 🙌

[@gameon3659]

Hey Dansky! I don't know about the video because i have not watched it yet but your thumbnail is just something mesmerizing. I just got attracted.

[@thewebstylist]

It's great. It would be great if you share some tricks for photoshop. You created that vampire diaries poster. If you could include that one it would be pretty great.

Alhamdulillah very informative brother. Feeling me a better designer than 10 minuites before. Thanks

Weird comment. First you thank Allah, than you call him a brother. Is he a Muslim?

​@@dienerdesbarmherzigen8780 is it that weird to say 'thank god, this video is just what i needed. thanks bro, i'm a better designer already'? he's just saying it in a way different from what you're used to

[@stoleymo79]

I love the shape builder tool! It makes jobs like the last one so much easier.

[@ForeverDansky]

Aha this tool is a gem!

[@midou9]

@@ForeverDansky it is ! but for cleaning the logo i'd rather use expand, then the pathfinder division, select a black shape > selection > same > color background, and merge it, then command X, and command V.

[@josieconcepcion13]

Great tutorial ❤️ Thanks, Dansky

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey Josie, thank you! 🤩

[@pauljansen411]

nice vid, I have to say though, that Pronto logo! One of my pet hates in logo design is replacing one of the letters of the brand name with a brand mark.IMO they never look good. Anyway great work.

I’ve a Question regarding rule of 3rds. I’ve seen a tutorial, that align: the logo and text, much quicker. Under one of the pathfinder settings in AI…

[@abdullahnaseem2285]

please tell us how can you invert the logo onto another color background

[@buckycore]

I was hoping you'd say "this video is sponsored by squarespace, perfeect for Squares" 😂😂😂

[@user-nu8ly3ux8x]

Bro you are interested 😊

[@user-nu8ly3ux8x]

The first comment

[@thebros1532]

why would you use character tracking instead of properly kerning the letters?
