I somuch like this lecture you are the best.

[@ethanjohnson93]

is there anyway that i ca contact you to design my new business logo?

[@Lu733-e9w]

Such an informative video! Thanks :) I have one challenge still though, what are the dimensions for logo design in illustrator? Everytime I design a logo it looks good even after conversation to png. However, when I bring it back to illustrator as an image it balloons in size and I have to reduce its size which makes it look real pixelated. What am I doing wrong? Help please.

[@redx-demonofficial7638]

Sir are you searching for a Caption writer for your yt Chennal. Well I think you had a lot of Indian viewers ✨✨💫 It'll help them so...

[@adeyinkaoladepo7490]

Ok

[@zorbacolonel1820]

Oh yes! I can't wait for this to be real ! it is going to be AMAZING

[@silly_spaghettios]

I'm too young for a job but was interested in the idea of making logos so here I am.

[@clarity150]

same

[@troyryangolf]

You can learn as much as you want but the most important thing to remember is to take action with your new knowledge. That’s what will set you apart. Cheers. ✌🏻😁

[@artveseli4070]

better start young !!

[@xiatkax3240]

Same lol, just here to create a logo for my school's esports team

[@thinkingaloud7925]

your never to young, I always though that probably for too long

[@keepitshort4208]

I'm 28 no job so far and I just always been interested in graphic design and wanted to do something that is in demand and also creative too so having to keep Photoshop along side illustrator but more focus on logo design so hope to do and be someone for myself

[@riomabbayad6796]

This was so helpful! Thank you

[@ladygreenwithenvy]

My school is making me do a logo for our classroom, I hope your videos can help me suceed in impressing my classmates!! I'm just really stumped because the name they picked has me really stumped (and in my opinion it's super sucky)

[@MdKhan-lg2fs]

Bro, Plz Make Series, Logo design 🥺

[@theepicpeople3185]

i need this so my class can wear my shit :D

[@sandrars4938]

I am a computer engineer turned Master's student of Design and the only design I've ever learnt in my career is from this man. Forever Grateful!

[@norman9697]

From where did you do your Masters in Design?

[@dumbdavinchi3638]

what did u do in your prolonged master's course than?

[@thinkingaloud7925]

what do you do professionally, UX design?

[@denny-michael]

lol school sucks

[@spaulding304]

Trade school and/or starting a business is the way to go these days.

[@jessicak2881]

I'm sitting here, overwhelmed, attempting to make my first logo. Everything you say, it's like reading my mind and exactly what I need. Thank you!

[@vivianoguchi9370]

Literally me right now, i was coming down to type the exact same thing, then i found yours, how is it going? are you a badass now?

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Glad you're finding it helpful Jessica :)

[@nanaildar91]

I just couldn't find anyone better than you on internet! How could you be so kind! 😭😍😍😍

[@harish4256]

WOW.....Daniel , the way you kept us throughout the process and taught me how to comeup with a brand, mood board, competitor analysis - these exercises opened a whole new level of understanding to logo design for me, I'm so grateful for the level of effort and beginner understanding that you brought to this tutorials. Love the video, will keep up with the entire BYOL series and share my work in the group soon!

[@christinec1928]

I like the concept of the helmet if not that exact drawing. It's recognizable yet under used as a cycling logo. Great video.

[@russelrealeza7142]

Dan, I love your enthusiasm in explaining more about the process. What got me hooked into, is the mind map, since it's where the basis of our logo comes, and also the competitor analysis helps up bring up ideas and get your thinking going since you'll see various kinds of logos that would get you to be inspired to create yours. Man, in those 28 minutes, I learned a lot that's for sure. I just stumbled on this video of yours and I got tons of insights that I would definitely use for my future clients. Thanks again man, looking forward to more videos soon!

[@BoWilder1]

Summary: First, think of a company using the random word generator. Next, check out the logos for my company's competitors. Then, think of words that relate to my company(a thesaurus helps here). Finally, start drawing my logo and give it to the client.

[@mordechailewis7201]

Dan, you are, by far, the best teacher when it comes to learning how to use InDesign!

[@alisina5477]

can't wait for this. Exactly what i was looking for.

[@conniegriffiths245]

When he put the 12 in place of the 20 I felt a little less alone in the world

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Lol. Happens all the time. Glad it's not just me 👍

[@ArnoVicD]

Bought my new laptop and ready to get started !

[@VahidBehravanVahid-Behravan]

This is a very good introduction to the logo design process. This training has a considerable structure and explaining all the details to the audience makes it possible to understand it fluently. It was interesting that you first introduced a little bit of your lifestyle. (Like it much) Very similar to mine :)

[@younessoummou9036]

[@johncrestani8708]

All right then! HERE COMES THE HERO. Before I start digging through the video, i would love this course to have HIGH MATERIAL OF ILLUSTRATOR LOGO DESIGN PLEASE. your way of delivering the information is incredibly informative and SUPER HANDY " cool hah lol"

[@AbdulAzeez-qy3di]

Sir You Did Magic Before Removing The Pen Cover You Put The Pen On Just Start Drawing.

[@hitanshuvyas3261]

NGL but I was wishing for something like this from a very long time.. Thanks guru..

[@adaweinsatruth6469]

Can't wait to learn more on Logo Design, it's one of my nightmares in terms of Graphic Design

[@alfincconcepts9341]

No Bro! , it shouldn't scare you for u can do it. May be we can do a collabo on a project and may b you can get some tips on the way.

[@fadakhasaan78]

The only bad thing about this is that it ends 🥲😂 it was great!! I had so much fun

[@vfxgenie983]

I'm currently designing a website for a home project and this really helped, thank you so much for making these video's it's really expanding my knowledge

[@cholasimmons]

I'm definitely throwing out my current sketches after watching this 😂

[@olayemiolamide9096]

I really flow with your explanations, thank you so much ♥️ finding your channel has been one of the best things on KZbin. Please I would love to know, if this process works when creating a wordmark or letter mark logo? How to go about it... Thank you 😊

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Thanks for the kind words Olayemi. IMHO word marks are different. Colour & font obviously play a bigger part. A different approach for sure. - Dan.

[@olayemiolamide9096]

Ok, thank you. Looking forward to your next video 😊

[@inspiringwomennetwork3461]

hi, the app was not what i expected, though it helped a bit i got kiki and i had choose between kiki and angel and i thought kiki thanks though bye

[@AbdulAzeez-qy3di]

Sir Saw you Changed your Are Feeling Cold, Well All Is Nice.

[@sophiopopkhadze2053]

Thank you so much for your contributions! I’m kinda beginner, almost 2 months using Illustrator and for me its a quite a challenge to design a nice logo but your videos have taught me so much! I will definitely to my homework as you suggested and lets see what I will come up with, would love to share my work with you as well ☺️

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Hey Sophio, looking forward to seeing your homework in the Facebook group.

[@logotronix.]

I watch your videos, I learn new things and increase my knowledge of creativity. It really helps me to better understand current and traditional ideas of the design industry. Keep up the good work! 😊

[@monkeyross84]

When is episode 2? feels like I've been waiting a year, seriously! I need more! lol

[@dilshadtabassum8992]

I once asked you, please make a logo design video. It's like you are keeping your promise. Thank you so much

[@alfincconcepts9341]

Dan always comes through :-)

[@saltedjazza]

Dan - You're an amazing teacher my guy! Love from Australia

[@davide6932]

Found my digital Guru. Thanks a lot Dan has been months now that I follow your classes, you are the one!

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Thanks Davide.

[@DansDebStar]

Im so looking forward to this as i've just started a business! Thank you in advance and hope you are well :)

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Thanks mate, I hope it's useful to you :)

[@DansDebStar]

@@BringYourOwnLaptop No doubt it will be! You're a great teacher.

[@el.sammour]

cant waiiiiiiiiiit.love you man.i am learning a lot of skills from you and i am still a high school stufdent.please dont stop your great courses

[@yout8ube_videos]

sometimes it can be a little bit harder for totally beginners

[@Sk-jk5nc]

saying thank you is not enough , but virtually that is what i can say thank you

[@discofeeva4eva]

Your video was, by far, the most learning concise video I have seen. The homework, the process, and showing us how you draw the logos was heaven for a visual learner like me. I need instructions like this, that break down the process you need before you even touch pen to paper. Steps for success!

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Thanks for the kind words, Quinn :)

[@adeyinkaoladepo7490]

If I could ply make a logo on ms word it would be you

[@zelgreg6376]

thank you for sharing your ideas... I'm so excited to start my logo project!

[@eclecticheiress9437]

This is the sort of video ive been waiting to see...you have awesome instructional skills...im going to join the FB group for more..thank you

[@santanukumarmahalik3286]

WAITING FOR THE FONTS AND THE COLOIUR VIDEO THAT YOU MENTIONED! THANKSSS LOVED THE VIDEO AND NUMBER 8 DOODLE WAS SO FUNNY

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

You're welcome. Currently working on the font video.

[@AbdulAzeez-qy3di]

Why You So Fast In the Drawing

[@cartoonprofilez6031]

This is helpful! I make custom logos and this helped!

[@chazmayfield6528]

Funny how things work out as I’m working on building my brand I’m blessed with this video 🥳🙏🏾

[@rbphotographychannel]

i am creating logo design but yours is exceptional - i am learning from your tutorial :)

[@gerardpatrick8960]

Really great video Daniel - many thanks. You know, the 'goat' idea, which you dismissed instantly, is one I might have run with if the bikes are all terrain / mountain bikes. It is a perfect fit as those blighters will climb and go anywhere!

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Yeah, you're right. It might be a good one to at least explore.

[@juniorlinden7030]

I can't draw man ;( - but you spared no effort in giving me some invaluable lessons.

[@schmidtyyt]

My company logo (wordmark?) that I designed uses Copperplate. 😬 But at least I didn't capitalize. Honestly, I do think it works well for me. My company is a machine shop. I wanted something strong and traditional. That said, we're branching out into "artsy" type retail products and I know I need to create a much different brand for that side-business. So here I am. I love all the great advice, Dan, and I am doing all my homework!

[@MRafiqulIslam1]

Dan, I have just completed your Adobe illustrator for beginners (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5ObhnWtqpisfaM). Now, I have started working on a logo design project. Name of my company is Radius ICT. Focuses are on Data Analysis, Cloud Solutions, Software Development, Network Solutions, Web Design, and UI/UX. I would like to emphasis on the definition of the term 'Radius (from center to perimeter)'. Can you help me with one or two rough sketch, please. And thanks for such excellent tutorials.

[@kellalizard]

You live in Ireland? I thought you were Aussie or from New Zealand ☺️

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

New Zealander living in Ireland 👍

[@rickr8635]

That #8 drawing of the buzzard in a Helmut save it, I thought it was awesome idea promoting safety.. like for a kids safty initiative etc.. awesome job explaining thank you

[@MaurLaw4392]

Thank you so much Dan! I just finished watching the video and will start my home work tomorrow - it's bed time here.

[@giftypowers8063]

Ok so has anyone told you, that you look like Agent Coulson in AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D before🤦‍♀️? It's exciting actually 🤣

[@victorwinner6913]

I have what am doing to earn a living, I love having many sources of income so I want to learn how to make a logo so I can offer it to people and earn money. TEACH ME HOW TO BECOME A LOGO MAKER.

[@betulcalskan6564]

When we compare competitors' logos, should we make ours similar to them? I mean, I was designing a camera brand logo and when I searched, all of them were text based. no images or symbols except for very small things. So, should I do a text-based simplistic logo too? It's probably up to me but after seeing them all like that, I feel like I should do so, too.

[@glassdragonmedia]

2 questions What is a brief? And, what if I already have sort of an idea in mind but I just need to logo-ify it. For instance, I have 5 KZbin channels, and I've decided to collectively include all I do into one... idk, company name? I've decided to call it all Glass Dragon Media. I'm working on designing my owl logo for this channel, my main one, and a GD Media logo that stems from it. And eventually stem some other related logos for my other channels.

[@4107521]

FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE MY UNOFICIALMENTOR!, AND THE CREAZY PART IS THAT I WAS ALREADY A SUSCRIBER AND I DIDNT KNEW, TIME TO HIT THAT BELL

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Don't tell anyone but there will be a new episode in 2 weeks from today!

[@nitheartist5788]

It would be cool to make the wheels the E and B of the bike shop’s name. Just to play around with

[@richardgees]

This video is super helpful! Learnt a lot from you. Started 3 years ago from your PS course. Keep it coming Dan! Great content. Thank you!

[@graphicalblueprints3268]

It's a bummer but creating a brief really gives a direction to the process!

[@thickymcghee7681]

This was a very helpful video. I spent almost a thousand on branding working with freelancers on Fiverr. I was still unhappy with that I had. I didn't feel a connection to my own branding, and I knew that wasn't a good sign. So I started following these tutorials and ended up with not only an amazing logo, but also all types of other helpful stuff like my brand identity, my color palette...so much stuff. So now when I am designing some merch, or a banner or something on social media, I don't have to waste hours upon hours thinking. I just go back to my brief, my board, my sketches and within an hour I know what will work and what wont. And the best part is, my stuff is all aligned and synergized. It doesn't look like a different person designed everything. Everything comes together. Thank you!

[@emiliomarte8489]

Saludos, por favor si alguien pudiera explicarme cómo crear el logo del Banco Popular de República Dominicana en illustrator. Gracias de antemano

[@AlishaGHarris]

I just wanted to say thank you for these free tutorials. I love them! I am a broke student trying to push myself through college and these tutorials are lifesavers. I discovered you through the Envato Tuts+ lessons and I have learned A LOT! So thank you, please do not stop.

[@jenniferw1570]

Being a video that's years old I'm not sure if you or anyone will see this, but I'll try. When I opened up storyshack I had no idea where to find the blank white box you used when putting in your name during the intro, I'm not tech savvy , can someone help? thank you!

[@billbuckleytutorials]

nice opening . very Peter McKinnon... 😀

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

I totally watched Peter's stuff and got ideas. 👌

[@clarisse_G]

Great video, thanks Dan ! Would you mind write the names (any links to share ?) of the three graphic designers that you were talking about at the end of the video please ?

[@ziadalhassan6041]

Hello Mr Dan , kindly i want to register in your website, but i have a misunderstanding about the fees ,80$ for a year ;i will get full access to all courses or i have to pay for every course?? looking forward to your answer thanks

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Hey Ziad, that gives you access to all of the courses and the soon to be released: Podcast!

[@ziadalhassan6041]

Thats great! Thanks

[@wafastylist]

This was so informative. I'm an experienced designer but i still learnt so much from you. Thank you :)

[@younessoummou9036]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/paqsoaubi92al5o&ab_channel=Y.Ou

[@zorbacolonel1820]

I am so EXCITED Dan

[@MrBfg586]

I have to admit the competitor analysis part was hard for me. I guess it’s because I don’t know the terminology for some of the logos picked. The demonstration was still helpful.

[@takaranucci8407]

This was super helpful. I think I have the creative vision, but it's hard for me to get in to paper. Really nice job on this video going through the creative thought process

[@Syx696]

I'm sort of a beginner to logo designing. The reason I say that is because I didn't know that all of that went into it. I would just draw or design without doing the research. Now I find it difficult to break my habits and researching. Researching is not my strong suit. But I will trust the professional process. I do have a question what is the difference between doing a logo brief and a logo design report?

[@bajiraosingham9495]

Am I the only one who thinks Sketch number 8 (The Buzzard wearing a helmet) was pretty cool idea ? We've all seen videos of cyclists driving super fast on extremely crazy and dangerous terrain. They may relate to that logo.

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Yeah, maybe there is something in that logo after all. Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@Emma-vq2gl]

Hey, I know u probable wont see this but I would really appreciate if you could make me a logo, based of an online shop. like Shein. and if you can i would really appreciate it. (and no I do not have a name for it). Again I would really apricate it :)

[@melvingilliam1449]

I’m new to logo design and love the challenge to create. Just had a friend ask me to design a logo and this video got me excited! I’m now subscribed to your channel!

[@cardo8796]

[@abdulohid6082]

I love your videos. bt as Muslim, music is haram for me. and this makes me unauthorized for this video. so please don't use music in your video. Thanks for these video.

[@mahanche]

if all of my teachers were half as good as Dan is, at the moment I would have been working at NASA

[@beatricekann3849]

Honestly you’re talking too much and making it boring. Can you just go straight to the point? You can chip in one or two stories from time to time. I already spent 4 minutes listening to you talk about nothing! Time is money

[@gigigarcia5664]

How are you copying and inserting these images? I obviously am nowhere near pro status + ( lol Can you refer me to a link or video of yours to help me with these basics? I have been watching a few of your videos but not sure what is my best bet as far as where to start!

[@jenniferleo5837]

Can we just talk about that leopard (?) riding a shark through the sky behind you? I have so many questions.

[@ramshafarhan7613]

hey, after i watched your video i did the same as you guided to. And i got the random object which is handbag or purse whatever you call it. and then i did the mind map and got some words but the competitors of the similar brands use only wordmark logos. i want it to be different so i tried a bunch of logos but i am not satisfied...

[@CrazyChaosClara]

My last name is long, but it ends with "Stein" and i got the item Hammer... this is going to be gooood.... ^^

[@ajayifarouq7063]

am very much for this

[@hashanlakruwan4330]
