Logo Design Contest - Reviewed by Graphic Designer

We have been reviewing design and illustration contests for a while on our channel. This time I’m really proud to showcase a logo design project, where the winner is one of our students. He joined our Pro Membership program to improve his design skills and within 2 months he managed to win the very first design contest he entered. Let’s see how he pulled it off!

[@allagligora5534]

Thank you, such useful tips!!! I will for sure use them now!

[@SHISHIRMITRA4U]

Very well explained Great Do & Don'ts. Sir Please bring more videos like this one.

[@GVarunKumar]

Nice video, very helpful. I have one question, in the design C1, instead of the blue circle around K9 if the designer had used dogs Head and K9 on top of it, would that have worked?...

[@ItzAzeem]

I'm gonna learn alot from this... Thanks Mr. Martin ❤️

[@LoganPinney]

Im re doing our camp logo right now! This is perfect timing video for me to get some tips. Dammmm i need a pro membership hahaha soon...1st i need a new oven hahah thanks Martin 🙌 great video

[@YesImaDesigner]

Priorities: Pro Membership right after getting a new oven. I like it 👌Glad you liked the video.

[@FordExplorer-rm6ew]

Bro I suck at this design stuff, but have to source static assets for project. Do you know what kind of design programs there are to use for 32 bit Windows?

[@moamensayed9584]

Great I wish more videos like that,please.

[@twesterman]

Very good advice I can take into my own work.

[@foufoufifi8277]

I want to known where you get this icons because they insiste to not use icônes from internet or other application what should do ☹️

[@shailmoktan8270]

after watching this video. my voice came "woooow". reaLLY this is a great tip for logo designers

[@anantharamanomkarabindusam3441]

Great bro thanks a lot 🙋 😁😁

[@valentinj9071]

The outlines around the text in C3 kinda looks like a bone, maybe that's why it was added ?

[@Navigator777777]

Loved the video. The little round circle??? It’s a baggy. ;-)

[@mdpiash213]

How to submit flyer design? please let me know...

[@golamrobbanirana483]

great description

[@KumanovskaTarana]

Nice Contest Review, tho I would say for Ur apprentice submission it would be more appealing if his design was squared with rounded box coz the company has serious job thus emphasizing that the work is precise rather than free ... also I like the friendly dog face that rings positive message for future clients, and maybe that round box in this case should be connecting the image just from the ends but coz symmetry also emptied at the upper right corner of that box ... color hm simplicity rulz but using behind shadow example in orange color along the left contours could also stand up even in smallest prints later of this winning logo ... some even Happier People will say why that Dog dont have magnifier in his mouth :) Cheers ...

[@laskaralam9119]

Thank you for making this video.

[@KadirProductions]

great ♥

[@redtheredhairedlady734]

Why aren't you publishing any more videos ? ❤

[@HaniHassan1]

Good critique indeed, btw are you ok with the winner's design typo?

[@YesImaDesigner]

I agree that the typography could be improved, but it seems the client was happy with this version. I would increase the tracking and also make the text slightly bulkier as in small size this might not work too well.

[@mdshahed6758]

Thank you

[@Ombdpress]

very good

[@mydonsyfilmproduction7690]

awesome

[@Rubytabassum28]

Can i use mobile

[@skydyleyw0037]

when is the next competition!?

[@YesImaDesigner]

SKYDYLEY W00 this contest was not organised by us, we just reviewed it. The other contest we ran with 99designs has just finished, and the winners will be announced this week. I will keep you all posted here on the channel when we are doing another contest. In the meantime feel free to take part in currently contests on 99designs. There are plenty good ones to choose from!

[@freetousevlog9162]

i dont think the typo really fit of the logo

[@shilpyranidas7367]

He did not show how he made the design...........................

[@AmanYadav-fe1tk]

Sir drawing theory explains please

[@KharismaAnkh]

But sometimes the contest holder choose whatever he like the most.... Which is subjective

Te véletlenül nem beszélsz magyarul?:D Kicsit olyan a kiejtésed.

[@YesImaDesigner]

Dániel Bush de véletlenül pont beszélek magyarul is 😉

[@bokormester]

Gondoltam😄🇭🇺

[@laurencegr9978]

It looks like a pet shop logo. If it's a bomb-sniffing dog then the design should be more masculine.

[@ray_liu]

Nice tutorial, thank you =D 8:56 > c1-c4

[@AmanYadav-fe1tk]

Sir

[@HalkerVeil]

Here are the best design tips of my life: 1: Nobody actually cares about your company logo. Not your clients, not people you sell to, not even your family. With one exception. The only people who will nitpick about your logo are other designers who want to legitimize their importance, drive up their prices, and sell you there services. 2: Stop trying to tell your life story in your logo. See reason #1 and repeat.

[@YesImaDesigner]

Anon Mason interesting way of looking at the role of a logo. I agree that simplicity is key with branding and that the logo only plays a small part in the overall brand experience.

[@HalkerVeil]

@@YesImaDesigner Well I just see so many people trying to put so much effort into their logo and get lost in tiny details and rules. Simplicity for sure, but also simple branding is important I think. Because that is what people actually get a sense for in my experience. A logo should fit the brand, and the brand shouldn't be complicated. And that's all the thought it needs imo.

[@informalarefin]

I know logo designing is a long time process but for a contest, its stupidity
