Inkscape Beginner Tutorial: Simple Letter Logos

[@LogosByNick]

If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

[@awezone404]

is it free

[@linux_bangla]

If I turn on dark mode in my Linux Mint, it automatically makes Inkscape dark also

[@Jenlix_s]

yep

[@_MosMos_]

Thanks for the videos.

[@benicio1967]

I can’t get into Inkscape. I’m on the home page, it says it’s downloaded but all that opens up for me is an automated demo. I can’t seem to get to the page you have opened here.

[@rhyscabonita5933]

I AM LITERALLY SHOOKT AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO. LIKE, DISCOVERING A NEW POWER. I HAD TO COMPREHEND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. :|

[@roohihashmi4301]

SAME

[@ahmadmuhdi190]

congratulation. You have possesed a new power.

[@AP-th2sy]

holy sh*t same

[@andrediego6131]

man the world of vector art is so cool, making nice clean logos is so easy with it!

[@jho6742]

A fantastic tutorial which is well paced and clear. For those who mentioned that there is enough explanation on the tool functions, my suggestion (as others have done in the comments) is to check out his other videos . Believe me, I understand the frustrations of going through a video over and over again to work something out (been there, done that). Doing a little research up front should be beneficial when it comes to learning what each tool does and how these logos are constructed. Great job again Nick!

[@ilyasilyas9742]

And that's how I created my first logo. Thanks man ! I appreciate your efforts, keep up the good work

[@mohamedbouraba9262]

Hi Nick, I'm from Morocco, I follow your videos since 2016, I really want to thank you for all what I learned from your lessons..your way of explaining is excellent.. to day I make money with designs that I realize with inkskype..Thank you so much.

[@vighneshvighnesh844]

Mohamed Bouraba . Is it inkscape or inkskype

[@Ahmed-sv9sy]

i am from morocco too

[@akshaypadhiyar492]

Where do you make money with it????

[@brit5x]

This was my first intro to Inkscape and I remembered learning it in College because I was bored. (I studied Statistics actually) and it blew my mind! Thank you so much Nick! I still watch your videos and have been a long time subscriber

[@Martin1519]

Man, i came in this wanting to make a simple logo for my business but this is much more complicated than i thought it was Gunna be. It took me like 30 minutes to create this one letter watching a tutorial. but i guess its more than most people would choose to do on their free time.

[@Moodboard39]

he makes things complicated

[@BrunoSantos-uo3ui]

Great tutorial! Just started learning Inkscape with very limited experience working with vector based software and your videos are really helping me get to the next level. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@khadijatulkubra9247]

I swear u r the best explainer...I have never been able to follow something properly for the first time but while following u i made the exact logo so easily. 😍😍😍❤❤❤

[@ParanoidFactoid]

You make excellent tutorials. A lot of folks show what the tools do, but you're one of the few who show how to use the tools.

[@inocdcosta1161]

First tutorial of the app. I feel like a pro already. Very useful, thanx

[@AJ-gt7uy]

Woe! You are a wizard. Ive been doin css for years and now im finally starting to do logos in inkscape because of you. Amazing work!

[@tariropeacemango9159]

after listening to this video i just subscribed you got your talent man

[@carlcortez79]

This is an absolutely splendid tutorial. Thank you for that. Looking forward to watch more of your content.

[@notkrispy7763]

This is the video that got me into graphic design for years ago

[@diilurro24]

This man is a legend hat down for u brother ❤

[@fiire6462]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! Downloaded Inkscape today and your videos have helped me learn the program well.

[@LogosByNick]

Glad to hear that!

[@neelusharma1596]

@@LogosByNick did you make this logo by your own , I mean did this logo is of a company or just made by you ? Pls tell me

[@NikAhmadZainalddin-n4x]

Execelent tutorial Nik, thanks!

[@atharvingalagi]

It's good for beginners logo design....if you want to learn the basics,, there are separate tuts I have learnt blender software by just watching other people do it In tuts

[@Itsrichayo]

Great job Nick, you have further encouraged me. Now I sure won't miss Window.

[@youngestbro1318]

deep bro inkscape is so underatted but wow it is pretty easy to use and amazing free app.keep inspiring bro i like ur inkscape tutorial !

[@akashsahu4673]

Wow....... I love you man. You are such a great guy. Your skills are unparalleled. Keep making more of these.

[@maunkyaw8183]

That is awesome! But that's the work of an expert, you know it.

[@NIlobig16]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. your video tutorials are so amazing.

[@xenialxerous2441]

Hey there! When I first started using #Inkscape, I knew nothing about it except the very basics, that too superficially, but after searching around on the web I came across your channel & I was delighted to follow along. I can't thank you enough #NickSaporito, you made my life enjoyable, because although I'm a fine artist, UX/UI designer & developer, but using the software to implement my artwork was a bit unknown. Love you & thank you!

[@beenqt6506]

Thank you very much!

[@tushargola03]

Weew...good idea. I can use that on my new logo...thanks bro

[@nicoletrasmanasllosis622]

Thank you for this, Nick! So helpful!

[@bitslittle]

Thanks so much for making these... I am doing your tutorials one by one starting with the oldest... I am grateful for all these tutorials! Please keep at it! Inkscape is coming alive for me. I don't know if you've done a tutorial on making a full scene like of a living room, garden, or classroom... I was looking for something like that but didn't find anything on you tube... Maybe for the future? :)

[@vahinirai510]

Dude saw your channel for the first time ..its awesome!!!!....i wish i knew about u from the beginning

[@sauravbanerjee5921]

hi Nick . I am from India. A big thank you for your tutorials . I really appreciate what are you doing . your way of explaining is very cool & easy to understand .. just keep doing what you are doing . (by the way I just started using Inkscape today . I discovered your channel just today .) Thanks a ton :)

[@LogosByNick]

Glad to help!

[@garystanley2517]

Awesome tutorial as always ... and you always make it look simple!

[@TaughtSimply]

Hey Nick! Love your channel and your work. I was wondering if you could do a quick video on the difference between Inkscape and gimp? When to use each? I think it would be very beneficial!

[@Luksu00]

Well im not Nick but i guess i can try to explain. So Inkscape is better for making logos from and other art from scratch. Gimp on the otherhand is more editing an alreasy ready picture and not so much making from scratch. Also Gimp is lot worse for making logos. So yeah hope it helps :)

[@Moodboard39]

ink

[@spencerbce9231]

I'm thinking seriously in buying your course! :D

[@kalindudissanayake389]

What a ride..... Thanks dude

[@fregus.]

looks fly! You really open up the possibilities when making logos and designs :)

[@ekiruobadiah1425]

Amazing 💯 Nick!

[@ejthompson2919]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was simple an a great way to create vector for the first time!

[@wjrican]

I've only seen this video so far and I'm insta-subscribing. I am interesting in picking up the skill of logo-making. Thank you!

[@afifsetiawan2425]

Thanks Nick, great as always! Best regards from Indonesia

[@SheldonCarvalhosc]

I love these. I managed to make this too. One thing though ... a lil explaining after each step would help. Gives some time to actually get the step done and understand what is going on at the same time. I regularly have to pause and go back to see what I missed cus by the time I start to follow you are a few steps ahead already.. Just a suggestion.. thanks again :)

[@cricnewz209]

Thanks sir I made it!! Subscribed And Liked

[@faifad]

I'm amazed! Thank you!!!

[@flaironov]

I tried it and it came perfectly! 😍😍 Thank you so much! ❤

[@fitnesslifehack]

My first logo is done! Big thanks!

[@yazanmeryol4615]

Please which version of Inkscape ?

[@samarzeroil3860]

hello tanks for the tutorial. I have a problem with breaking appart 5:45 when I follow these instructions I don't get the same results and instead a small circle is created in the middle of the biggesr one. Could you tell me what to do to solve that problem?

[@abdullahjuma9169]

Great video. I can see the progress in my inkscape, thanks to you

[@fahimalislam108]

Just superb!!! Excellent tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@PAFBEAST]

My first inkscape logo :)

[@faiqahmadnashshar6215]

Yes yes yes, i will subscribe great tutorial!

[@elvinnadirli8661]

Thank you very much.Its so useful video.I watched and did it.

[@eterno1610]

Im really interested in how did you made your thumbnail, it looks bit different. : ) I mean the paper part.

[@tarkos97]

Are u mean a little space between cicrles? If yes, i guess u need to just move the part ( which looks like connection of L and C) a little down and a little left.

[@eterno1610]

no, its not about gap.

[@LogosByNick]

It's a PSD template I used with Photoshop

[@eterno1610]

Ah, okay, thank you anyway. :)

[@next8226]

make a video on it

[@ozzietomasio7318]

Amazing tutorial and absolutely necessary to get a groove on with Inkscape. I’m getting it all except for at 5:50 where you zoom in and grab that little piece off to delete it. I’ve gone through the tutorial step by step a few times. Any advice?

[@Djfrye112]

I am also having this issue. If you found a solution please share! Thanks :)

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

Yes, it's not breaking apart.

[@commentingchannel9776]

For me, it doesn't break apart because the crescent-shaped piece adopts some odd height parameters (224.8px) so it doesn't perfectly intersect with the rectangle. Changing the dimensions manually however results in the next final steps being completely broken.

[@Eydiff]

You should select the duplicated green shape not the original one

[@karimbiryani292]

Thanks a lot Nick.. You are awesome. I learned a lot from you.

[@Daymanoahha]

nice dice, really helpful to get started with this program, cheers

[@ShashaRavacio]

Finally! Thanks for this, Nick! You are one awesome human! I'm trying this whole playlist out to refresh my Inkscape skills! xoxo from the Philippine islands!

[@rlocatellidigital]

Very beautiful result! Thank you!

[@shannapetsel3792]

When I get to about 5:55 and I need to break apart and delete the small part... it just wont work. I am following step by step but this part just into working for me. And idea what I am doing wrong?

[@robcheetham4370]

Im in the same boat as you. I go go difference and then break apart but just doesnt give me the small bit to delete. Ive gone over multiple times and followed step by step but just does not work lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Using inkscape 0.92.4

[@Tuttlies41]

Same here

[@robcheetham4370]

I figured a hack around this. I dont know why it didnt work but I found that when you duplicate the green piece. Well before the next step alt + left key just once to shift it one place to the left. Then try selecting the green piece and the other shape. Then difference and then break apart and it should come up with the little bit to delete. After I deleted the little bit I just selected the green piece and alt + right key one space back to the right to put it back to its original place. If anybody knows the real reason why it didnt work then by all means share please. Thanks

[@robcheetham4370]

I think I found the reason now and checked and it worked. The green piece was slightly bigger than it should of been. When you orginally made the green rectangle he says to make it 150 px wide. So i did that but when I halfed it I noticed that the width was saying 75.336 px. I changed that to exactly 75.000 px and then tried the steps again and it worked. Hope this works for you

[@dommafia]

@@robcheetham4370 This is correct. Glad you figured it out! Hopefully others will find your info useful!

[@AP-th2sy]

thank you so much, this is so helpful

[@othni]

You are very talented and know the program very well, but you are not explaining what each function does and how they work. You are just shooting steps very fast, but at the end, we will learn only how you did this specific project. It would be better to really teach how each function work. Take your time on each step. Split this type of video into several parts. Explain each tool and action better.

[@obedndubisi1491]

Othni Morales I totally agree. Being very new to Inkscape, I don't know the environment really well. And the video didn't explain the tool functions. Great work all the same.

[@MartinMears]

I believe that by showing us the technique it would take no time for individuals to google "why would I perform object to path function" or "what is path difference in inkscape". I have done heaps of these tutes and would not watch them if Nick explained every time what each thing is trying to do.

[@EntropyRBall]

I think he did a video where he explained several function in Inkscape

[@dhavalpadhiyar9107]

Dear friend it is not his talent it is his hardwork that is paying off

[@chladik9470]

Completely agree. I clicked this video because it said beginner tutorial. It is great work, but I found myself very confused and having to stop and rewind numerous times just to figure out what was being done.

[@tangymvids2000]

you are my favorite graphic designer. I wish I had found your channel sooner
