How To Sketch Logo Design Ideas (Professionally) 🚀

[@icarusap]

I read this somewhere that first few ideas we get are mostly the common ones & people usually think of it so sketch them out but don't look at them again & start sketching out for more so you can explore more

[@royvandermarel3953]

That is how I approach my work. Usually after 20 - 30 mins, the better ideas start flowing. Dave Grohl, not a designer ;), once said your work needs to suck first in order to recognize true great work.

[@gharib1435]

True! I actually have been wondering what is the added value of this video, like seriously combining a splash with the letter s is the first idea that even beginners think of.

[@royvandermarel3953]

@@gharib1435 I agree. Although, in Will's defense: this brief is screaming for this outcome. And he does explain that for timesaving purposes, he doesn't do more sketches.

[@gharib1435]

@@royvandermarel3953 fair enough, it's just the thumbnail and the title that lead me to expect more...that's why I was disappointed

Another tip I can give you that I learn from a old long gone British philosopher... *"Sleep on the problem, and your dream will bring to you the solution...in the form of an art"*

[@posibright]

My process: Research, sketch, refine and design

Nice and concise! Thanks for sharing

[@saleemwrites2905]

amazing

[@tsio6087]

Opened KZbin to watch some videos and inspire myself for a logo-project I have and here it is: Will made a new video! Here we damn go! :D

[@willpatersondesign]

:D

[@SGProductions2]

Thank you so much. Also thanks for showing that website. I like to design logos for practice but wouldn’t have any ideas what to design. Now I could use good brief. Thx

[@willpatersondesign]

Happy to help!

[@JayWJay2010]

Thank you so much for your videos, I’m really excited to show my classes, who are about to design a logo to fit a brief 😊

[@willpatersondesign]

Hope you guys enjoy the video! Let me know how you sketch your ideas in the comments. Seeing other people's processes is always helpful to me. 👊Apologies for the black at the end, the editor forgot to cut ha.

[@davidpruitt5885]

Most of my sketching is in procreate or my field notes.

[@davegardner6673]

I have found that a really great beginning process is using mind mapping. This will give your brain keywords that kickstart the mental gears.

[@befirstorbelast992]

I ram my head into the wall till I get my ideas

[@courtoisclarens9068]

I use a 3B pencil for sketching, it slides better on the paper. Less friction than using an HB pencil.

[@hqb5276]

What are some good questions to ask to get information out of a client. I know what I need like what the company represents, what are your values, what feeling do you want your logo to convey, etc. But those questions confuse a lot of clients and they just don’t know how to answer.

[@teroblepuns]

My logo design process: 1. Get client 2. Watch Will Paterson 3. Logo done

[@tsio6087]

Will, there is a 2-minute window at the end of the video, which is completely black. I do not know if you can edit it or not, I am just saying it.

[@willpatersondesign]

Thanks for letting me know, I'll let Jordan know!

[@milesmatic2872]

Learned a lot on logo design, thanks for the tutorial

[@willpatersondesign]

No problem!

[@ΓεώργιοςΛαμπρακόπουλος]

Cool mechanical pencil, any details on its brand/model?

[@keepitshort4208]

Is it better to draw it on sketch book or on iPad with finger rather then a pen ?

[@excellenceadigun9093]

I see you Will with that watch time padding at the end 😂 Thank you for the vid. Going from thought to sketch is usually the hardest part of ideation for me (i often skip straight to Illustrator 😬) 🙌🏾

[@ChaossX77]

Never thought you'd pad a video out like that at the end. It's ok you're still my idol.

[@willpatersondesign]

haha it was a rendering error! I promise 😂

Hello, Thank you so much. for this amazing video, it was inspiring) I have a question tho (video Idea), about picking colors for brands while considering CMYK dull colors, cuz I always use that RGB bright colors, and feel so bad cuz I know it would be different when it's painted and don't usually find a good CMYK color for the RGB color I have, and get confused and don't know what I should do, should I only use CMYK colors, do big brands does that? or should I pick two similar colors(one RGB and the other CMYK) for each one color? or should I leave it to the illustrator and it's gonna pick the best similar color? or shouldn't pick the RGB bright colors, I really don't know what to do, plz help me, and many others like me, who is new in logo design

Hi will, When such simple marks have possibility of being already trademarked and in that case how will you have approached it ? When I do logo designs I want to keep it simple enough but will find some company already that have trademarked it..what would you do ? Thanks

[@hopeelmore551]

what app?

[@bringerofthedawn5544]

Which ipad is that???

[@DiaGraphics]

Hey Will. I see You Are using the same animation for the different chapter titles in Your videos. I was wondering how You do these. Do You create every title animation from scratch in after effects or do You use some kind of template where You only need to correct the text? I need a way to improve My workflow on My own channel. Great videos by the way 😊

[@SavageKya]
