[@celestialmaeden]

Thank you Shantanu, I'm a graphic designer who really wants to get into logo design. I'm able to design logos but I believe I really need to learn more to create effective and impactful logos and this helped a lot.

[@lovigarg6905]

its great how this guys uses shapes specially circles and spheres it gives more dynamism to design

[@russelrealeza7142]

Man, I pretty much learned everything about Logo design in this short amount of time. Of course it takes tedious time and practice to master the creation of logo design, but you really were able to tackle all. And for that, thank you Shantanu, many aspiring designers, need to watch this. Worth recommended bro!

[@itsgabrielgao]

We want more tutorial like this. It's so simple, on point, easy to understand and follow. You way of explaining every details is so amazing.

[@ShantanuKumar]

Definitely 😊

[@SanjaySingh-oh7hv]

This is one of the very best logo tutorials I've run across. The suggestions at the very beginning involving using the information from the brief and then and then looking at existing images and then mind mapping to generate ideas is similar to how I've done logos. I think this is the most valuable part of the video, the concept generation. Some other suggestions. The color palette used is quite important. I think that some discussion of the role color plays in conveying emotion or mood or feeling is an important part of perfecting the logo. If you have the freedom to choose the color, versus just black and white, then this is worth exploring in some detail. Also the typeface. Typefaces have their own personality and choosing the right typeface can really complement the logo. I've not been able to define any sort of hard and fast rules for deciding the typeface in one or two tries, so I cycle through them until I find one that "feels right" when placed near the logo itself. Your video is one of the best on KZbin. Thank you for going to the effort you made to create it.

[@simplysimple4890]

Huge fan of your design skills... minimalistic, clean and crisp

[@emmuzeek]

Thank you so much for including the shortcuts you use, or where to find something! It's incredibly helpful. First video of yours I'm watching and I've immediately subscribed, it's super clean and your design is great!

[@karthikrajendran3394]

Not only have you exhibited great design talent, the flow of your video is intuitive to the learning assimilation of the mind. A short and crisp video which provides a good amount of details. Thank you. Great work overall. Your logo is strong, and can stand on it's own.

[@shabzmiah]

sometimes when i lose ideas, motivation or my passion for graphic design, videos like this just completely refreshes all of those for me

[@puneetpalkaur6334]

Tutorials like this will be soooooo helpful. I just started learning design. I need to create a logo for my friend but I always thought I will need an iPad for it because I won't be able to make all those curves on my laptop. I learned something very new and useful from this. Thank you!

[@shubhkumar4997]

Bro, hands down the fastest and the easiest way to learn a great concept. Keep this up man. We need more stuff like this

[@greenscool]

Thank you! I've been searching for a literal walkthrough of how to and what software, tools, to use for making an original logo. This was extremely helpful from "Start to Finish".

[@StudyWithSamara]

This tutorial was so good and informative. I'll be coming back to this when I begin my graphic design courses

[@mangojc8977]

I like the clean design with very rounded lines. The pastel colors give a cosy and "sleepy" vibe. My suggestion is to make the ears flop a bit more since it looks very stiff right now. That would make it seem more "sleepy" and relaxing. PS: excellent idea with the dotted paper

[@scrumptiousgobbledygook7377]

[@sravyasudha1559]

I see you've come a long way, saw a few logo designs on your Behance & had this to share- If your logo's legible even after sizing it down to a fraction of a thumbnail, it's feasible & will have higher recall value, else, start afresh keeping cohesiveness & visual weight in mind. (Which is why the alternative version with 'zzz's wouldn't work, or any piece of design with a lot of components & corners for that matter). -A student of design.
