Create A Comic Logo with Inkscape

[@hemendrasahu7943]

Nick, you are surely one of the reasons why people are able to use inkscape.

Yes veri

yes very true

I messed up the settings during the tiling step and somehow ended up creating a golfball. Not the intention but still pretty cool. *UPDATE:* So for anyone else who runs into the same issue, the problem for me was in the "Apply the value to the clones" section. Specifically, it was the "color" option that gave me the golfball effect. For whatever reason, I had to select "size" and "opacity" to get the desired effect, rather than "size" and "color" as instructed in the video. Noting for reference in case anyone is smarter than me and knows why the discrepency: I'm on an M1 mac working with Inkscape 1.2.1. I believe I have all default settings enabled -- I just started using the program yesterday, I don't think I've touched any configuration that would affect this.

[@Jomarshun]

I got "chain mail". But thanks for the fix.

[@amk4312]

Thank you! I also got the golf ball and was very confused 😂

[@JMBell]

I've learned so much about Inkscape from you, it's good to see you back with another tutorial.

[@jolu2469]

I was stuck on the tile clone part of this (like some). After a week of poking around and trying everything, I finally thought about resetting the app (Preferences/System/Reset Preferences) - restarted the app, tried it - and it worked exactly as described in the tutorial. Thanks for the fun tutorial.

[@joebazooks]

great tutotrial. im shocked im still learning new things about inkscape: paste to size, create tiled clones, alt select.

[@Leonarco333]

I am constantly amazed by how powerful Inkscape is. The learning curve is pretty steep, but it’s incredible.

Man big compliment to you channel. I started to learn graphic stuff with gimp and after 2 Months i found your channel.

You are a great tutor Nick. Thanks for the great and super fun tutorials.

[@mrm8171]

Hey Nick, do you have any videos of how you edit and apply the logo afterwards? For example, in the thumbnail of this video it looks like the logo is on a business card. It would be a good tool in order to showcase work to businesses in the same way they would apply it.

[@davegoesthedistance]

Thanks for sharing - I’d been looking for a good way to do halftone in Inkscape. Did you know the text border effect can be done without the extra copy? The paint order under the stroke options has one where the fill covers the stroke so you don’t end up with stroke intruding over the fill.

[@TomWittebrood]

Great one Nick, thank you!

Thanks so much for the video. do we need to make Object to Path every time ? I thought "object to path" is only needed when you want to alter each node individually. Not sure if I am correct?

Hi there Nick! First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU for all the tutorial videos that you put on KZbin. They are really helpful. I just started learning actually, so I'm trying to pick up as much as I can. But I have a request for you.. Would you be so kind (maybe also make a tutorial out of it) and make a 3D bow tie design, because I would like to take my learning a bit further and translate it to a CAM, for the reason of ''test'' machining? Thank you soo much and have a great day!

[@mattiasbjorkstedt9527]

Sleek work! Good job!

[@troyajohnson26]

I've learned a ton from watching your vids, thanks Nick. One question, why did you duplicate the first set of letters instead of just giving them a stroke width?

[@acusticajax3618]

I think that he did that to make like a shadow effect, just giving them a stroke would produce a stroke that is symetrical, while duplicating makes the shadow assymetrical and more like a real shadow i think

[@idiotflower]

What I did not understand was how did Inkscape know on what reference it was going to clone the circle? That is how did it know that it had to clone it on the blurred circle? Maybe I will find it out by myself with time...

[@LogosByNick]

It's based on the width and height specified in the settings of the tiled clones menu. It uses the X and Y axis of the document. I set it to 400x400 pixels, then it traced everything within a 400x400 area starting from top left to bottom right.

[@jakcydsouza5604]

@@LogosByNick i tried the same..it didn't work

[@speedbully_84]

Also got blurred clones. Everything under settings was identical to the tutorial. Drove me nuts. Then I tried unchecking the "Color" under point 3. "Apply the value to the clones' " and just used size it worked. Hope it help you too.

[@bravo4adventure988]

just started using inkscape thanks to you Nick. Might seem like a dumb question, but once I download the font, how do I get it into Inkscape? Is it just a simple close and restart and the font is there? Thanks for the tutorials!

[@WedersonWinchester]

I love these chanel.

[@digitaleddie777]

that was fun!

[@pavankumarachanti71]

Why is the White square used? and how did inkscape know to create the clones in the circular pattern? I was wondering what setting made the clone exactly like the blurred circle

[@BIGOTEMACHINE]

But what about the texture paper you show on thumbnail for this video? How did you do that?

[@fidaulmustafa2904]

Hello, Nick, I loved this tutorial just like every single one of others. I have just a technical question here to better understand this tutorial and this cloning technique. I am having a little difficulty understanding the reason behind why you created that white square behind that blurred circle and can you please explain in your words how did this small circle changed into this pattern? Thanks as always. @Logos By Nick

[@cfalguiere]

I also wondered. My assumption is that it's used to place the first tile at the right location, at the top left angle, while the rectangle is centered along with the cercle. It might grant that the tiles are well centered and symmetric.

[@RonWaller]

Thanks, Nick. Really enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you put into creating them. I know you use both Inkscape and Illustrator and I know you can create things in both programs and get the same results. I am curious Inkscape vs illustrator it seems that there are more steps in Inkscape to create the same effect in illustrator, but I could be wrong. I was just wondering your thoughts since you use them both. Thanks

[@LogosByNick]

I've found Illustrator to be quicker when it comes to things like transforming text and 3D, but overall the two applications are very similar and require just as much time to create things, especially when it comes to basic pure shapes like you would use for logo design.

[@RonWaller]

@@LogosByNick Thanks, Nick must appreciated.

[@berndeckenfels]

What was the reason for having a black font under the green one before adding the stroke and shadow), I was expecting you wanted to scale it down to be organic borders

I tried recreating this, but sadly I failed at 4:47. The cloning did do some work and the interface says that 300 clones were created, but they simply do not show up, I am left with the small circle, the black blurred circle and the white square in the background. All steps were replicated, so I am not sure what I did wrong here.

[@randostuffington9627]

Fixed, I realised I had some settings from a previous project still set in the other tabs. A simple click on "Reset" fixed the issue.
