How to Make Professional Logos Using AI ($34,901/Month)

[@JimstrVids]

watch out for scammers... says the guy who says you can make $34k per month but never shoes the receipts. get rich quick "tutorial" videos are still scams even if they have "with ai" in the title

[@tykeboy16]

@@JimstrVids yeah his "proof" is estimating revenue of top Etsy sellers. While blatantly omitting all fees and expenses to inflate even the best possible scenario. Which 99% of people trying won't achieve.

[@cryomancer20]

This is great, I’m not a graphic designer but I can see that it’s super easy to use. The only disadvantage is that if this is all you know how to do, you won’t be able to edit it according to the clients request. That’s where professional graphic designers excel and honestly that’s a good thing. A great tool to use for reference, similarly how writers use chatgpt as a reference, not a copy and paste type thing

[@michaelrobb9708]

This is my view on all these ai tools

[@PochoNieves]

I'm a graphic designer so all I have to do is include the AI and the selling portion of this tutorial... I'm golden. That's why I subscribed to you bro... Ideas that are simply innovating. Thank you for sharing.

[@killmewhileimahead]

right and if you are a designer you already know what a logo should and should not look like. AI puts out a bunch of images but you can really use your knowledge of design principles to polish everything up.

[@goranveljanoski6035]

As a professional logo designer I can tell you that those are not great logos, and it would be a disservice to a paying client to sell them something like that. From my experience those logos look like something a beginner designer would do. Don't mean to diss you, I think you have great content on your channel. I believe Midjourney and AI can be used greatly as a help tool for creative people.

[@dwooderson]

I feel the same way. As a graphic designer, there is no way I could use a program like that and consciously sell it to my client. No different than Canva. I love working on a print piece and asking a client for their vector logo. Their response is always, “I don’t know. I did it on Canva and I don’t have it anymore. Don’t cut corners on your brand, trust an expert.

[@soop3r872]

Glad to hear how considerate of the clients u guys are

[@hrishikesh07m]

Ai will always and always lack the main ingredient, every ai video is missing out on, is the emotion we designers have.

[@davidvhagen]

If we’re being honest, the majority of graphics designers are at a beginner level skill and they don’t do great work. Similarly, the majority of research assistants or data analysts don’t do great work in terms of what I consider a Maverick level of contribution to the creative or analyst process. Heck, the majority of people in all professions don’t stand out, that’s why people that stand out are massively successful by comparison. As I’ve personally experienced, GPT4 and similar AI does almost everything a non-Maverick will do. You guys likely fall into the Maverick category and are deeply engaged in your work, but don’t project that skill onto your peers when you review them. You stand out because the majority doesn’t.

[@MarkMayhew]

Tell me you’re scared shitless by AI without telling me you’re scared shitless of AI

[@Peter-yo2wm]

I think Ai in graphic design needs to be used more as a tool rather than the design itself. Ai can save a ridiculous amount of time, and if your creative with how you use it you can create even better designs than you would on your own. For example, getting a bunch of extra mock up ideas that can give you some inspiration into the final design. You can also use Ai heavily in the design pitch and presentation.

[@ralphgd8510]

just an additional for everyone who wants to pursue the logo design business, not everything can be "image traced" in illustrator, it will only work 100% if the design is B&W just like the example in the video, but for other designs like the mascot logos you need adobe illustrator skills to turn them into vector logos in able to sell them or send them to your clients, the good thing about AI is that it helps you with the brainstorm process unlike before where you need to search the internet for some ideas. I've been doing freelance logo design for years and I thanked God that AI is now here, it lightens the work load but not 100%, you still need the skills to bring the designs to life in order to make money out of it.

[@willm5032]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I'm a graphic designer and these logos are okay but nothing special. But for a loose stage between sketching and a final logo these are pretty good

[@savvysteve3]

Great video. Thanks Alec. The one "simple" step that you did in Adobe Illustrator can also be done just as easily in Inkscape. (Inkscape is awesome and that is what I use for all my graphic art fine tuning work).

For anyone reading this that is getting super excited about making 34k/mo with logos on Etsy, please understand that is not realistic and although possible, it would take a very long time. The 1st shop he showed has been on Etsy for 9 years so that level of success took quite a while. So many KZbinrs make these videos without talking about the REAL side of things and then people run to open their shops and wonder why in the first few months they haven't made 34k yet. It's just misleading.

[@Storygospel533]

Yup. This guy's capitalizing on the hype to get paid on KZbin. Case in point is how sensationalized his title is, "30k/month". He doesn't care, he just wants views.

[@JHess]

anybody who thinks you can just open a shop and make 30k/mo in the first month shouldn't have a business. it takes work. the info given here is how to do it. if you're not dedicated then go flip burgers somewhere.

[@originalrahmble]

@@JHess Takes soooooo much work. I just hate to see vids like this giving false hope to those who may not understand what it really takes.

[@NemSeiPow]

@@Storygospel533 There was a time when videos of girls opening jewelry stores were trending on TikTok and they were very successful! I did the same, I opened a little shop (Etsy), I made videos for TikTok, I did everything the girls did… in the end I only made about 130 dollars in cash in one year, my profit was barely enough to pay for the materials I bought… never again I do this, opening a business is not that easy.

[@JB-id2dg]

Even though it's a cool tutorial, everyone should be aware that none of these AI generated logos fall under copyright protection, and thus can not be trademarked. This means that everyone can use these logos, without the need to purchase it.

[@albinobeach]

Also, no one whos serious about branding would use any of these anyway, they're not good. All that work to achieve nothing, pay a professional designer to do a professional design.

[@peterfoxtrott8750]

How can you tell its generated since the file will be a vector image from Illustrator?

[@lemoncreativeco]

@@peterfoxtrott8750 Generally it comes down to the concept, and how abstract the idea is as it relates to the business itself. It's pretty easy to spot an Ai generated logo vs a professional logo design if you know the company. These are reasonable options for startups, or people with $0. It significantly devalues the work that real designers like me do, though, because people like this are setting an expectation of "cheap is good, good is cheap". Graphic Design is a trade, and it takes practice and persistence to learn the craft. Ai should not be used in this way; it's extremely predatory to the industry and to clients that aren't aware that they're buying a logo that their competitor could just rip off with zero consequence.

[@ancientflames]

​@@lemoncreativecoai can and will automate many aspects of graphic design and should be used by graphic designers to remain competitive. But it shouldn't be relied on for he entire srt making process. It is a help, something to do the mundane parts of creation. I don't think it should be used entirely to generate the art. But at the rate it's advancing I think it's already the path we are headed down. It's advancing in ability very quickly. In a few years time all these separate settings, parameters, and programs from midjounrey to invoke ai and chat gpt will all be more or less one unified program. Sure different companies will have their own but all these are gonna get wrapped up in every single thing we do daily. From emails, to meetings to art and beyond. The genie is out of the bottle. Now we just have to make sure we are very specific with our wishes so we don't "monkey's paw" ourselves haha.

[@p3ter408]

@@albinobeach Stole the words out of my mouth! Professional designers and illustrators provide excellent value and know design very well, they will be able to make important design adaptations (ex. graphical charts), help with branding and assist you. It hurts you as a business in the long run if you don't invest in well thought out designs that truly stands out by using the research, experience and technical skills from professional designers.

[@reidmoto]

Phenomenal training and I especially loved the part about hitting the "Web" button to see how my prompts are being interpreted and seeing other similar designs. Also, the Adobe Illustrator tip about converting to vector was super-valuable! Thank you.

[@tabemsins]

These are all fake. He doesn't make $34k by selling logos using his strategy, if he did he wouldn't be focusing on an youtube channel to spread the word to millions of people. These videos have value in the sense they may give you some ideas from where to start but I guarantee you will not make those $34k just by selling AI content. Unfortunately it became a trend and these youtubers are abusing their titles to get more gullible people to click. I'm not saying you're not able to make money using AI, but all of these youtubers main revenue come from their channel, not from the things they're claiming to be masters of (since they probably just copied the idea from another channel).

[@SD-ft6gs]

Don't waste your time, this guy never actually explains how to do anything, this is a 100% marketing video not a tutorial of any sort... don't waste your time (ps I am a designer not a delitante so I am experienced enough to determine the worth of this)

I love this idea, one thing I was wondering about. At the start of the video you give the example logos you designed and you showcase them on wood or a cup. What software did you use to actually embed the logo into something, for example the chess piece in the wood?

[@alekSheffy]

It's a mockup. You can find them on Freepik or Rawpixel, and use Photopea.com to add in the logo design

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Legal side...if my company logo is similar to one already in use .... I can be going to court. So I don't see how the template is healthy for any business. I'm in the process of a logo now and I have someone who has been in the business for a long time and she is working on, that my logo won't be copying someone else's

[@originalrahmble]

Just to interject, both are highly saturated on Etsy and the competition is very big. You're not gonna make 34k/mo selling stickers or logos on Etsy unless you're consistently doing it for a long time and it actually catches on. The first shop he showed has been on Etsy for 9 years. Just wanted to mention this as I feel these videos can be super misleading. I'd honestly suggest getting into a different niche on Etsy that is less saturated than stickers. There are so many other options. I find this channel mentions only the most popular and saturated niches giving people sort of a false hope regarding what they will make monthly.
