this was super helpful, i've been using inkscape for a couple of months and i'm glad i was able to find your channel! I also had problems intersecting to create two colors in one word i followed your steps with the bezier tool but had no luck, any suggestions?
This tutorial really helped me out. Thanks a lot. I used your technique to create my own logo. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to create a speaker. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the video Nick. Not sure if you already answered this somewhere but - In the beginning of the video, why do you take the word Hockey, and do Object to Path -> Ungroup -> Union? Can't you just do Object to path and move on to the next step? Not sure what ungrouping and then following up with union does.
hi, thank for your video as a guy says below it's crystal clear even for a french guy like me. if you had to made this logo monochrome, how would you do that? Ortherwise, I'm thinking to redesign my rugby logo club and some of your manipulations might be useful, thank!
Your videos are awesome Nick! In the above video when you are making the background for hockey you used the inset. It wouldn't work for me so I went into preferences and changed the numbers to px per. However... you pressed it twice to inset again... but when I do that it distorts the image... if i duplicate , then inset then delete the first one it works but yours went much faster!! any ideas?
+Cool Stuff Just select the graphics you want to export and go to File > Export Bitmap. If you need some info about sizing guidelines for app platforms, I wrote an article with some resources here: blog.logosbynick.com/design/sizes-guidelines-for-designing-app-icons-ios-android/
I am enjoying your videos SO MUCH!! Since I discovered your videos, my DVR late night talk shows are piling up :). I notice you don't use layers while other Inkscape video creators use layers in their creations. Is there a quick answer as to whether to layer or not to layer?
Thank you, great to hear I'm taking watch time from those enormous late night talk shows haha. I usually don't use layers in my tutorials because I find it easier and more efficient to just move objects up and down as needed. It requires less clicks in the end. I mainly use layers when designing something for print and what to lock the bleed and safe area in place.
Hey, Nick, thanks so much for your response. I am truly enriched by the information in your videos. Since you use your designs for print or visual media, it seems, you don't have to worry about extra paths. My designs are created to cut on a home hobby cutting machine and they will cut every path in the design whether visible in the display or not. So, I have to join objects with union to get rid of extra paths. But watching you create the shapes in the first place has really enhanced my capabilities to create unique, original designs. Thanks so much for taking time to make these videos.
Hey if any professional has seen my comment then plzz reply. I have a problem in my latest version of inkscape .Like at the starting whenever I am writing Hockey or any other thing.The bracket which comes after that.Is becoming bigger then my words .Like in this video when Nick wrote hockey then the bracket is perfectly attached to the edges but in mine the edges ,or the Line is becoming bigger .
5:08 if i duplicated it i will have there only big black flat. thats good and if i choosed color i have there that big black flat again i have not there blue color. please help me
This is an outdated tutorial. There's an easier perspective tool to use in the latest version of Inkscape. Go to path effects (control + shift + 7) then click the plus sign to add a new path effect. From the list choose "Perspective/Envelope" then go to the nodes to (keyboard shortcut: n) to adjust the perspective in real time.
Hi nick, i am one of your fans btw :D i wanna ask something to you about fontsquirrel.com, are those fonts in this website free to use? I am indonesian and my english is bad so i cant understand their agreements license. Thx b4
Why is it not possible to add new fonts to Inkscape??? I've tried EVERYTHING or am i doing something wrong??? i have watched your tutorial on fonts and followed to the T, i can use the new fonts in word and other programs but not inkscape. HELLLLLPPPPPPPP
I get my text upside down when doing the perspective thing on the text... any suggestions? Have done it the same way you did it. Maybe it's somthing with the settins on my inkscape.
Great but when I tried to run the Perspective extension, got this error..Any ideas? "The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and therefore this extension.Please download and install the latest version from cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/, or install it through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install python-lxml Technical details: No module named lxml"
Thank you for your amazing tutorials!! How will I go about in order to create a hockey ball with your design, instead of a puck? I want to create something like ua-cam.com/video/ccfVOcXI6Oo/v-deo.html with the indent dots, but have no idea how. Perhaps the clone effect, but how do I get it sphere around the ball?

Another nice video, Nick. You definitely have a knack for teaching....your explanations are always crystal clear.
+Ron Brooks Thank you, glad to hear that
Nick just wanted to say thank you for your awesome tutorials. They are extremely clear and easy to follow.
Thkx Nick I am an oldie but still learning marvelous tutorial
Your starting example has has a square corner on the "k", but in the demo when there's an issue with that, you leave us hanging. Awesome.
amazing tutorial Nick. keep it up with new ideas for your tutorials
+ahmed deia Thanks, as always!
Amazing Nick, complicated logo with 22 mins simple tutorial! Keep up the new idea and awesome work!
+Mike Brown Thank you, I try to keep these are brief as possible to not waste anyone's time.
Amazing video Nick. What's the difference between "snap to path" and "snap cusp nodes"? When do you use one over the other?
+links2links Snap to cusp nodes only snaps the cursor onto corners of a graphic. Snap to paths snaps the cursor onto any edge of the graphic and not just corners.

Can't you just do Object to path and move on to the next step? Not sure what ungrouping and then following up with union does.

Thank you Nick!👏

That's odd. Are you starting the box at the bottom left corner and drawing it in a clockwise pattern? If so, it might be your settings.
Propably not, because when I did now it worked :D Thanks!
good tutorial nick!
+fakhriy alfajr Thank you
Man, I love watching your videos, I'm trying to create a twitter banner!
Awesome. Good luck. Twitter banner size is 1500x500 if I remember correctly.
Great video!
+Bob Blihovde Thanks

Thank you!
+seemsas My pleasure
