[@egaaditio9053]

NICE chanel ..

[@lasoute]

the intro is very nice. Can you make a tutorial on how you managed to create it? Great video, love this type of content.

[@LogoGround]

Many thanks. :) The intro was made in Blender. I don't think we will be making Blender tutorials though. There are other UA-camrs much more knowledgeable about Blender and 3D design.

[@Isiah089]

I’m new to logo creation and this is awesome video

[@LogoGround]

Thanks and welcome

[@Hanimeee_]

if beginer upload the logos then all declined, they will minus reputation ???

[@ruslanyliudmylaruslanyliud7806]

this is good just one detail I have created several logos several rejected, I can't assure you that it is perfect, but they usually say it is generic, but I see several on the pages with a vector of poor quality, there is something else that I can see that is rejected for another reason

[@LogoGround]

Thanks for your feedback. It is usually a bad idea to compare logos, as in, why this logo and not that one. There are too many variables to make that a productive exercise. My advice is to improve what you can improve and to not give up. You can also head to the LogoGround forum where you can post the image and invite more feedback from designers.

[@colinfarrell58]

Nice

[@LogoGround]

Thanks :)

[@kekonyolan_cinta]

I imagine if sagi haviv make a logo ( haviv style) to sell in logo ground, it will be great.

[@thekillidaddytv2485]

Question...
What size do we need to start?
Is it 1200x800 pixel?
Or 800x400 pixel? Currently I'm using corel draw x8

[@LogoGround]

At the moment it is 600 x 400 px for the JPG image. In the near future we will also accept 1200 x 800.

[@thekillidaddytv2485]

In svg or eps file..
Do you accept 1200x800?

[@pedalmuih]

Susah memang :D

[@chhawinderpreetsingh8251]

[@moonrider22]

[@Animasongkids]

I didn't receive an account activation email when registering... what's the solution?

[@LogoGround]

Sorry about that. There was an error on our side, now fixed. The activation emails now work like they are supposed to.

[@Animasongkids]

@@LogoGround thank you

[@Ardraqinc]

if msg this : Your fellow logo designers voted and this logo unfortunately did not make it ???why

[@LogoGround]

That's because the community reviewed your logo and decided that it was not quite ready for LogoGround yet. More details here: www.logoground.com/discuss.php?topic=210

How is the client supposed to use our font if they don't have it?

[@LogoGround]

Hi Matt. The client should access the font legally by purchasing it or downloading if it is a free font. It is very important that we as logo designers don't send font files to clients. Even with a free font there may be restrictions on its redistribution.

[@mattm7426]

@@LogoGround Understood. Thanks

[@DhanuLaksono]

you know what.. my logo just got declined and i cant complain, it gives me much more insights for my next project
however hardly i tried to think out of the box to make some logo, this video set higher standards on me

[@rezapahlevi7162]

Keep learning masbro 💪💪

[@fourth-angel]

With all due respect to Logoground, you do choose beautiful and smart designs, but for the most part, I wouldn't call these designs brand marks for companies. This is from my experience working with clients, and what clients often choose for their companies from other designers. My view is almost a one-sided view, but that is my experience. At 9. Clip-Arty 11:53, for example, there is a comparison of the generic phone with the smartphone designs that were adopted by Logoground. Were these designs purchased? As clever pictures, they may be sold, but as logos for companies, this is questionable.
