How To Create ANY Logo In Davinci Resolve 18

[@DairyAirGunners]

On the Pepsi logo, using a white background with an ellipse mask set to border over the red and blue shapes, would save time adjusting the curves.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Great idea!!! Thanks for the comment 👊✌️

[@lectrictraveler]

Honestly, you have taken me out of the woods and into the field of sunshine. I can see now how all this works now. You shown me about the keyframes, the pivot and how to use that transform which I was looking to learn. Then the way you showed how to build each layer and copy and reuse was a time saver. And in the end where you say to use text instead of a graphic word is something I am going to start doing from here on. Thank you so much for teaching this in such a way where new people like me can understand it and have something to refer back to. I just subscribed and will be watching much more of your content to help me make mine. --chris

Thank you Corey!! 👊✌️

[@tradeshowtube]

This is a great tutorial. One thing I can possibly teach you, when changing the shape of the biezer curves, you refer to grabbing the dot, or making a dot. The dot you make is called a node, and the dot to change the shape is a handle.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

[@alex.muntean]

Awesome tutorial. I want to suggest an alternative technique that could be considerably faster and easier as you don’t need to trace anything with the polygon. Masks and a keyer. For logos that are just text/monochrome, just patch that logo into the mask input of a background and finesse it by expanding or contracting the mask and you’re done. ✌🏻🤗

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thanks for this Alex! This is great insight and advice 👏👏👏

I am tying to make a new channel logo using my current Logo, the problem I am having is that the person that created my logo is no longer creating logos and I have no idea on how they created it. I have the jpeg for both clear and color, I am wondering how would I re-create the font and how the test is presented? Any helpful tip would be greatly appreciated.

[@SpaceKingGaming78]

Great video, but unless I missed it there was nothing about finishing the logo to use. Do we render it as a video and use a still or is there some way to render as a image and not a video?

[@pawelfiedorczuk]

Great tutorial. Any tips if we have logo in shapes already how to animate it in fusion? How to skip recreation of logo part. Thanks 🙏

[@jasonszumlanski6514]

This seems like a pretty convoluted way of doing the Pepsi logo. I would break down the logo components in an image editor. Then bring the 3 png files into fusion. Animate away.

[@kuunami]

I think the multimerge node would be a cleaner way to go about recreating the logos

[@barryallen6217]

now i have a better understanding of fusion and nodes .. Thank you. 35:10 one question: Is there a difference between using a Transform node to scale or to position something vs doing it from the object itself ? because you went to the Text = Transform to do the animation instead of using a Transform node

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thanks for the comment barry and good question! This really depends on the animation. I try to typically add a transform and use that to make the animations incase I want to reposition/resize the text without messing with the animations. I can just do that in the text node and the animation will stay untouched in the transform node 👊✌️

[@NOPerative]

Haven't looked into it yet, but does DR handle SVG? SVG would work well considering scaling & fidelity. Excellent video guy!

[@kuunami]

I did a search in the transcript. You said "hold control" 3 times. 😂😂

[@GJPhotograph]

That is amazing! You have a new sub. Q: Can you make multiple shapes from one background, to animate?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

You technically could attach multiple masks to one background but I that could cause complications and you will have more control if you use separate backgrounds

[@KosFishingTeam]

GREAT TUTORIAL MAN!! can i save the logo as png with transparent background? how?

[@MeinVideoStudio]

Would you make the Red shape in 1 Polygone? You could get a Copy of the Elipse and get a Minimum Operation (Paintmode) with the Curve shape to get the perfect Circle... And you would have the Oportunity to animate the Polygone independent of the Elipse. Also The Adidas Leafs are just 2 Circles overlapping and building the Minimum Operation... I mean you can do it like that (no offence), i am just asking for the reason.

[@clyntonmann1725]

he did it his way... can't see how that is even a topic

[@MeinVideoStudio]

@@clyntonmann1725 Like I said it is no offense. My tutor in design & Animation would have just whipped my ass for not using separate Elements since getting a Circle from a free hand tool is nuts. Like I said it always depends on what you are looking for. It is a good tutorial non the less.

Thank you very much! Learnt a lot! One question if you don't mind. How do you incorporate the animated logo into a movie for instance? I'd be very happy with just key words and I can go away and do my own research. Thanks 🙂

@@TheModernFilmmaker Got you! Thanks! 🙂

[@doctorstrobe]

would it be possible to see the whole logo as two discs and just use the bezier tool to cut out the white shape between the two colored shapes?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

This would be possible if both discs were the same color. With one color you could make one disc and then separate them with a mask easy. 👊✌️

Hi! I'm struggling with using the logo that I've made with your guide here. When I open it in another videoproject, the resolution + the forms are different.. What do I do in order to make it scale properly in the program when I'm editing a video?

[@somehighlights2851]

Awesome tutorial. Question: The Pepsi logo seems like the 2 color "things" begin with a semicircle. Woudn't be easier to make a blue / red circle and then transform it adding nodes?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you!... I don't know if I fully understand the alternative you mentioned but for me the polygon technique is really fast and gives you full control to manipulate the shape to animate in any way you want. Sometimes though it's all about the fastest technique for you, I am sure there are several "right" ways of doing it 😁👊✌️

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

@ 3:55 you scaled the logo up to 5. Five what? What are the units there? Is it five times as big as the logo you brought in? Is it pixels or inches or something else?

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

@ 4:17 you say that there are four parts to the logo. That's okay but, if later you want to animate the white center space created by the red and blue elements, you would have to create another element. So this means that you have made some decisions about how you will be using this logo you are recreating. That's find. I just point this out because, well, I just think about these things all the time. Sometimes I think too much and do more work than I needed to. It's a balance I suppose.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

These are good observations! I honestly would need to look into the scaling question. Resolve has several different scaling settings that could change the result of the answer, I think... As for the second comment... It all depends on how you want to animate the white section. There are plenty of ways you could animate the white section by animating the blue and red shapes. A lot of animations are "visual tricks" like that, where visually you think the white shape is animating but it's really just the curvy lines of the red and blue shape that are animating. BUT in the wide world of animation there are a million ways to skin a cat 👊✌️
