Still one of the most complete explanations I have heard about mid journey and creating logos has come from your videos

[@cryomancer20]

This is great, I’m not a graphic designer but I can see that it’s super easy to use. The only disadvantage is that if this is all you know how to do, you won’t be able to edit it according to the clients request. That’s where professional graphic designers excel and honestly that’s a good thing. A great tool to use for reference, similarly how writers use chatgpt as a reference, not a copy and paste type thing

[@killmewhileimahead]

right and if you are a designer you already know what a logo should and should not look like. AI puts out a bunch of images but you can really use your knowledge of design principles to polish everything up.

[@michaepwright]

Maaan, this is gold! Thank you for this!

[@Peter-yo2wm]

I think Ai in graphic design needs to be used more as a tool rather than the design itself. Ai can save a ridiculous amount of time, and if your creative with how you use it you can create even better designs than you would on your own. For example, getting a bunch of extra mock up ideas that can give you some inspiration into the final design. You can also use Ai heavily in the design pitch and presentation.

[@reidmoto]

Phenomenal training and I especially loved the part about hitting the "Web" button to see how my prompts are being interpreted and seeing other similar designs. Also, the Adobe Illustrator tip about converting to vector was super-valuable! Thank you.

Great video. Thanks Alec. The one "simple" step that you did in Adobe Illustrator can also be done just as easily in Inkscape. (Inkscape is awesome and that is what I use for all my graphic art fine tuning work).

Excellent content as always. Great help. Thank you.

[@goranveljanoski6035]

As a professional logo designer I can tell you that those are not great logos, and it would be a disservice to a paying client to sell them something like that. From my experience those logos look like something a beginner designer would do. Don't mean to diss you, I think you have great content on your channel. I believe Midjourney and AI can be used greatly as a help tool for creative people.

[@dwooderson]

I feel the same way. As a graphic designer, there is no way I could use a program like that and consciously sell it to my client. No different than Canva. I love working on a print piece and asking a client for their vector logo. Their response is always, “I don’t know. I did it on Canva and I don’t have it anymore. Don’t cut corners on your brand, trust an expert.

[@soop3r872]

Glad to hear how considerate of the clients u guys are

[@hrishikesh07m]

Ai will always and always lack the main ingredient, every ai video is missing out on, is the emotion we designers have.

[@davidvhagen]

If we’re being honest, the majority of graphics designers are at a beginner level skill and they don’t do great work. Similarly, the majority of research assistants or data analysts don’t do great work in terms of what I consider a Maverick level of contribution to the creative or analyst process. Heck, the majority of people in all professions don’t stand out, that’s why people that stand out are massively successful by comparison. As I’ve personally experienced, GPT4 and similar AI does almost everything a non-Maverick will do. You guys likely fall into the Maverick category and are deeply engaged in your work, but don’t project that skill onto your peers when you review them. You stand out because the majority doesn’t.

I worked for Abe Lerner in 2002 at Avignone. He was a great boss. Always worked with me. Not sure if he knew at the time, but i was homeless then and him giving me the opportunity to work was a big factor for me in life. I enjoyed delivering to the customers in the area. I met a lot of great people, the customers were always friendly. We had a few celebrities that were regulars. We always respected their privacy and sometimes we had a few that would share a few moments talking to us and the other employees. I hope Melissa, Ana, and Tito are all doing well. As well as Abe.

I love this idea, one thing I was wondering about. At the start of the video you give the example logos you designed and you showcase them on wood or a cup. What software did you use to actually embed the logo into something, for example the chess piece in the wood?

[@alekSheffy]

It's a mockup. You can find them on Freepik or Rawpixel, and use Photopea.com to add in the logo design

Great video. Learned something new with the adobe illustrator. The graphic designers are in panic, but they should just use their skills to make the AI art even better. Also people need to realize you are a content creator, that is what you do, but I am sure you could make some money doing this if you wanted.

na bro, designers are not in panic, more like let me upsell and charge more because its a faster workflow. Its actually more work in the creative side beasue now dsigners can do the job of 50 people.

[@ralphgd8510]

just an additional for everyone who wants to pursue the logo design business, not everything can be "image traced" in illustrator, it will only work 100% if the design is B&W just like the example in the video, but for other designs like the mascot logos you need adobe illustrator skills to turn them into vector logos in able to sell them or send them to your clients, the good thing about AI is that it helps you with the brainstorm process unlike before where you need to search the internet for some ideas. I've been doing freelance logo design for years and I thanked God that AI is now here, it lightens the work load but not 100%, you still need the skills to bring the designs to life in order to make money out of it.

[@willm5032]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I'm a graphic designer and these logos are okay but nothing special. But for a loose stage between sketching and a final logo these are pretty good

[@LatinoWebStudio]

Would you say that mid journey is still the best ai image generator and that if I’m getting started I should just pay for it rather than use free sources online?

[@adamgdev]

Great video!! I am not seeing the option to purchase "stealth mode" as an add on with Midjourney. Did they get rid of that option?

[@strong2thefinich]

question. how do you export the traced design using export, changing to SVG without it being 10 different paths. I'm exporting for use on Cricut, a vinyl cutting program and I want it in one piece and not seperated by each path. It also needs to maintain transparency. I'm sure it is simple, Im just missing it in illustrator. Thanks.

[@avgytenjoyer91]

There is so so much you can do with stable diffusion instead of paying for mid journey. In fact there is a vector plug-in for automatic 1111 and you can do all the stuff for free if you have a decent enough PC.

Hi Alek, love your simple well explained videos, you put so much effort. I have a question…what’s more profitable to sell using MidJourney? Stickers or Custom Logo Designs? Which one you recommend me?

[@alekSheffy]

The logos sell for more, but they're a lot harder to get right. It's kind of a trade off. You're probably short term more profitable with stickers, long term with logos or art

[@Mini-Sun]

@@alekSheffy thanks!

[@originalrahmble]

Just to interject, both are highly saturated on Etsy and the competition is very big. You're not gonna make 34k/mo selling stickers or logos on Etsy unless you're consistently doing it for a long time and it actually catches on. The first shop he showed has been on Etsy for 9 years. Just wanted to mention this as I feel these videos can be super misleading. I'd honestly suggest getting into a different niche on Etsy that is less saturated than stickers. There are so many other options. I find this channel mentions only the most popular and saturated niches giving people sort of a false hope regarding what they will make monthly. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

[@JB-id2dg]

Even though it's a cool tutorial, everyone should be aware that none of these AI generated logos fall under copyright protection, and thus can not be trademarked. This means that everyone can use these logos, without the need to purchase it.

[@albinobeach]

Also, no one whos serious about branding would use any of these anyway, they're not good. All that work to achieve nothing, pay a professional designer to do a professional design.

[@peterfoxtrott8750]

How can you tell its generated since the file will be a vector image from Illustrator?

[@lemoncreativeco.8431]

@@peterfoxtrott8750 Generally it comes down to the concept, and how abstract the idea is as it relates to the business itself. It's pretty easy to spot an Ai generated logo vs a professional logo design if you know the company. These are reasonable options for startups, or people with $0. It significantly devalues the work that real designers like me do, though, because people like this are setting an expectation of "cheap is good, good is cheap". Graphic Design is a trade, and it takes practice and persistence to learn the craft. Ai should not be used in this way; it's extremely predatory to the industry and to clients that aren't aware that they're buying a logo that their competitor could just rip off with zero consequence.

[@ancientflames]

​@@lemoncreativeco.8431ai can and will automate many aspects of graphic design and should be used by graphic designers to remain competitive. But it shouldn't be relied on for he entire srt making process. It is a help, something to do the mundane parts of creation. I don't think it should be used entirely to generate the art. But at the rate it's advancing I think it's already the path we are headed down. It's advancing in ability very quickly. In a few years time all these separate settings, parameters, and programs from midjounrey to invoke ai and chat gpt will all be more or less one unified program. Sure different companies will have their own but all these are gonna get wrapped up in every single thing we do daily. From emails, to meetings to art and beyond. The genie is out of the bottle. Now we just have to make sure we are very specific with our wishes so we don't "monkey's paw" ourselves haha.

[@p3ter408]

@@albinobeach Stole the words out of my mouth! Professional designers and illustrators provide excellent value and know design very well, they will be able to make important design adaptations (ex. graphical charts), help with branding and assist you.
