People usually use A or S to demonstrate anything. F is the least common letter and my name starts with that. Seeing F used for project demonstration is the best feeling & Eid Mubarak.
One of my favorite branding videos you guys have done so far. Thanks for the great tips Matt! Just tweaked up a logo to improve the kerning on black and small spaces :)
I've been managing my negative alternates with Expand path most of the time. Had a few manual adjustments to do every here and there, but generally it works great.
Anyone knows how to make the 9:50 logo in illustrator? that's the kind of advanced effect I thought was gonna be thaught, but I can't even come up with search terms to accomplish this.
Honestly, I don’t know what I’m looking for. I keep Googling advanced branding, advanced logo design, advanced this and that just to cut through the cloud of starter or beginner techniques. I’m already an advanced Illustrator user. Except starter demos are all you find online even with paid courses. I have been in design close to two decades. I was there when professors in school where still teaching mechanical methods of design and when Macromedia Flash was still a thing. I went to a good school. While I feel in my element with color, grids and type, my biggest achilles heel has always been logos. I don’t even think the issue is how to draw them. I could sketch a terribly drawn logo as long as the concept is on point and personifies the brand’s voice. My issue is visualizing it’s shape. It’s a form issue with me. It’s also a concept problem. To understand the brand perspective and translate it into a mark that matches that persona. So most of my career I just stuck with editorial layout because it’s a bit less conceptual and mechanical in execution. But as we all know in design, unless your specific role is strictly layout or other, at some point there’s always that one guy who’s going to ask you for help with a logo. Suffice to say, it’s been pretty frustrating not having the confidence to build on what you already know.
I'd give this a 6 out of 10. I would suggest you stay away from descriptive terminology that is subjectively opinion based. If the design process is reduced to subjective opinion, well everyone has one of those, so what do we need the designer for.

I really liked seeing you experiment in real time. I’d love more of that

Masterclass. Makes me feel better when I break the rules on letter spacing.

Another top video from Matt. Some really important concepts that are easy to miss.
Appreciate it ✌️
This guy is brilliant. Love to have a mentor like him
Very kind, thanks Viraj
As someone who doesn’t like making logos, I found this the most informative video I’ve watched in a long time. I’m hoping you have made more videos…
This was eye-opening! Thanks, Flux!

Love that
please more on logo techniques
This is the most informative vid I’ve found. So many of my questions answered. Thank you 🔥🔥🔥
This editing and video quality is top notch ❤
I love your videos and i really do always learn a lot from them so thank you!
Appreciate it ✌
Bring some more! Thank you!
Nice! Look forward to seeing more of these videos even though am watching it a year later :)
Good knowledge
trust me this video was so helpful
Glad to hear it helped Hameed.
Great lesson
Thanks a lot
👏🏻 great class
"The curved bottoms" caught that 😂
The Munich 1972 Olympic CD was so great, I proudly wore a pyjama with this logo.
It's an all-time classic. Where can I get those PJs?
@@FluxAcademy You probably would have to travel back in time. And it was a kid‘s size 😀
Every day's a school day!
can you please make a tutorial of the zero awards logo by rice creative?
Helpful! :)
Did you notice the mic draws a gothic letter tattoo on your neck?
God bless you
Facebook used an F for a logo for a looong time. Maybe the fact that it is not distinctive, made it distinctive.
Anyone knows how to make the 9:50 logo in illustrator? that's the kind of advanced effect I thought was gonna be thaught, but I can't even come up with search terms to accomplish this.
following in case some expert breaks it down
It wouldn't do that exact effect but you could get close with the new illustrator 3D features. 3D inflate a letter/symbol and then apply a pattern.
You could apply a pattern to a 3D object or do it manually but scaling and moving the symbols.

Please can you make a video on making entire identity systems
Great stuff! I would love to see more videos like these. Maybe even see you work on a real logo? I could use some advice on my creative process.
Subscribed for your giving me your valuable time ❤
Interesting

Great Concepts
While beauitful, how well will those complex logos scale?
Important to consider.
Is there really a difference between a logo, emblem, and illustration?
Is it just me? Or the example with the AO the O seems thicker than the A ?
Should we put about these alternate adjustments in logo brand guide book?
Yes
Please make space between letters the rules
Already learned the first two from Will Paterson's, but the third one caught my eye, definitely will experiment on the effect of that.

Matt B. : This F is not a logo ! We can't use this...
Mark Z. : 👀
😅
Kidding: Its F is distinctive enough...Isn't it ?
Haha
and it has to be made in a software sold by adobe because adobe pays you lot of money, isn't it?
Adobe have never paid me a penny. I'd be glad if they did!
fifteen minutes for NOTHING!!! don't bother

You should just make your own video to show us what you mean rather than being an arm chair critic to someone who actually did the work

If you went to art school in the 70's,, you would know all this obvious shit...
Yep! But you'd have to be old enough to be retired today to have been at art school in the 70s. So...
Great video, I loved the format!
Inspiring!
