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

[@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.

[@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

[@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! 😭😍😍😍

[@mordechailewis7201]

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

[@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!

[@mokais3476]

I was stagnant before watching your video! I just created my first logo thanks to you! We appreciate you sharing your skills with us

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@cardo8796]

currently doing 3 of ur courses and i had to leave a comment u make learning so easy no mattter how technical, i pray that your legacy will become worldwide and remain impactful. thank you for this and the others.

[@DubiDesign]

shout out to this man for all his free content. Dan is such a chad

[@anklu]

„…but it‘s not so much about how to draw this logo here, but more about how I got to this point.“ That‘s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@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!

[@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.

[@ElChorchis]

I don’t know anything about logo design and this tutorial is a fantastic place to start. I love that it’s informative and different from other tutorials. I like how its being distributed to an audience who does not know anything about logo design.

[@lavinianicolae9733]

Best Logo Coach Alive

[@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 :)

[@kallesonoscar]

In my opinion, you're the must watch online tutor. So friendly and smoothly explain the most complicated concepts to my understanding... 🙏

[@younessoummou9036]

[@Sk-jk5nc]

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

[@katelynclarke3230]

Love hearing a familiar accent, subscribed in the first 30 seconds!

[@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! 😊

[@Dannyboboboi.]

Hey Dan, You know what. What really cool about you is that you are sharing your valuable knowledge with the whole world. I truly appreciate your effort and respect you. Love your teaching style.

[@morqesahar]

Dan, you are the best Adobe instructor I've encountered.

[@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

[@saltedjazza]

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

[@alexissmith1029]

Love watching Dan’s tutorials, they’re entertaining and shows his vulnerability in the design process that we can all relate too! Still rolling about #8 even a year later haha!

[@emadrimbe]

Thanks Dan for being so natural at teaching! Very useful and easy to watch and follow! Be blessed.

[@kay_paperdolls]

Dan you are one of my favourite channels on here for learning design. You're so engaging and interesting and don't ever teach the same boring stuff. Thank you for your videos!

[@fadakhasaan78]

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

[@zorbacolonel1820]

I am so EXCITED Dan

[@shavigautam9398]

Today, 1.5 year passed, this thing blown my thinking and woken me up.........I started as novice, landed in covid 19 pandemic economy as my welcome gift of my very first career kickstart, gone through all hell proving every moment as nothing is happening, wow what a career year. Seriously, please no it was full of misery and now thanks to textual communication it made the past misery look cool fun. Well, my reccomendation, as designer in graphics field, work from home evolved : The greatest lesson I found, start in a "empty" space garage which is surrounded by nature and air and bigger space, not so perfect interior. So, that it unleashes your creativity. Point 1 : Ground zero, every beginner, go rough I mean, in start catch any rough space to start working and then make your own ideal space when your creativity guide you(a case where one have literally no idea). Point 2 : Computer is just a tool to create, everything comes from living in reality. So, wander and live in reality as much as possible. Ideas have to self come not forced. The more your five senses work the more you can define your piece of art. End note : Thanks BYOL! for educating us.

[@GraphicdesignforFree]

Best teacher of today (like Deke McClelland). The teaching style is simple, funny, and brilliant at the same time. Learned a lot, thanks!

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Thanks mate, that means a lot!

[@B.O.S.S.MR954]

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.

[@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"

[@Dwayn393]

Thank you for creating videos like this Dan. I'm learning back graphic designs and I honestly feel that the key take away was your written analysis rather than the systems first. I love your teaching style.

[@niyavernice]

Whattt I loved number 2. Not for a logo, but as a quick sketch it’s beautiful

[@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!

[@zorbacolonel1820]

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

[@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.

[@masterz7201]

I am a bored teen during summer and I am going to give logo design a try and maybe make logos for shows and games I like. Thanks for helping me get started.

[@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

[@hate.doublespeak991]

Suddenly have more respect for you! Very hard to see a man work with his own two hands, to pick up the hammer and sweat! Definitely took away the last resistance I had in buying your course, although I have been consuming the free content. You have my loyalty forever!

[@MaurLawYnot]

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

[@BlacquePlanet]

Only 10 min in and I absolutely love this video and how interactive it is Great for learning

[@nothingnessrules7167]

Amazing video, a charismatic voice, the sweetest laugh and too generous to give them all away for free! Thank you🙋

[@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

[@albertklassen6055]

What an amazing educator. Never seen anything like it. Thank you.

[@miggyb9]

Not a designer by any means, just looking for ideas and tips on designing my own logo. But man this was one of the dopest processes of art I’ve ever seen.

[@alfonsodelosreyes119]

The quality of your videos is insane!!

[@lauralukoseviciute7680]

You make so much sense. Your voice and teaching style is best I ever seen. And your funny too. 🤩 this was my first ever weekend learning illustrator and I feel like I’m almost professional now after few of your videos.

[@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.

[@flowersafeheart]

This was so logical and step-by-step. Thank you! Great music, great glasses, and love that you can laugh at yourself.

[@avinashkaur]

EXCITEDD !!

[@serenahawken5940]

Dan, another great learning video to help me on my journey. Please keep putting them out, you do such a great job. Love the Kiwi humour!

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

[@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 😊

[@KalinPoirier]

YESSSS DAN! So excited for the new BYOL show!

[@ibnudermawan7232]

[@estherwhaley3375]

Really awesome and useful! Your honest process is exactly what we all need to take the false pressure off to be amazing immediately 😅

[@ifade2black2]

This was excellent. Very informative and helpful. I’m a wannabe graphics designer and I mostly just doodle with things and enjoy creating digital stuff. I’m self-taught in Photoshop and I am curious about Illustrator. I am definitely going to do these exercises! Thank you so much for sharing all this wealth of knowledge.

[@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 :)

Fun vid, love your personality too! The final logo makes me think of 80s TV show _Street Hawk_ presented as a pictorial icon.

[@tasfiaahsan6262]

That first logo feeing is relatable ❤️❤️
