    In this video, I will answer the commonly asked question “What is the best way to design a logo?”. We’ll go over my process of designing a logo, from doing a competitor analysis, mind maps and moodboards. We’ll do a bunch of draft sketches and then we’ll refine our best sketch in Adobe Illustrator together.

      Such an informative video! Thanks :) I have one challenge still though, what are the dimensions for logo design in illustrator? Everytime I design a logo it looks good even after conversation to png. However, when I bring it back to illustrator as an image it balloons in size and I have to reduce its size which makes it look real pixelated. What am I doing wrong? Help please.

    WOW.....Daniel , the way you kept us throughout the process and taught me how to comeup with a brand, mood board, competitor analysis - these exercises opened a whole new level of understanding to logo design for me, I'm so grateful for the level of effort and beginner understanding that you brought to this tutorials. Love the video, will keep up with the entire BYOL series and share my work in the group soon!

  • @christinec1928

    I like the concept of the helmet if not that exact drawing. It's recognizable yet under used as a cycling logo. Great video.

  • @russelrealeza7142
    @russelrealeza7142 2 роки тому +22

    Dan, I love your enthusiasm in explaining more about the process. What got me hooked into, is the mind map, since it's where the basis of our logo comes, and also the competitor analysis helps up bring up ideas and get your thinking going since you'll see various kinds of logos that would get you to be inspired to create yours. Man, in those 28 minutes, I learned a lot that's for sure. I just stumbled on this video of yours and I got tons of insights that I would definitely use for my future clients. Thanks again man, looking forward to more videos soon!

  • @Dwayn393
    @Dwayn393 2 роки тому +1

  • @thickymcghee7681

    This was a very helpful video. I spent almost a thousand on branding working with freelancers on Fiverr. I was still unhappy with that I had. I didn't feel a connection to my own branding, and I knew that wasn't a good sign. So I started following these tutorials and ended up with not only an amazing logo, but also all types of other helpful stuff like my brand identity, my color palette...so much stuff. So now when I am designing some merch, or a banner or something on social media, I don't have to waste hours upon hours thinking. I just go back to my brief, my board, my sketches and within an hour I know what will work and what wont. And the best part is, my stuff is all aligned and synergized. It doesn't look like a different person designed everything. Everything comes together. Thank you!

  • @ElChorchis
    @ElChorchis Рік тому

    Your video was, by far, the most learning concise video I have seen. The homework, the process, and showing us how you draw the logos was heaven for a visual learner like me. I need instructions like this, that break down the process you need before you even touch pen to paper. Steps for success!

    Dang thanks a lot Dan, I have been one of your students but today a bit clogged in the process of logo stuff which is not my stringest i stumbled into this and reminded me than my process wasnt bad. But defenly learned new stuff here, always loved your process and the way you teach. Simple, fun and really insightfull, not just "use the tool like this bam logo" types than are clearly empty and unhelpfull. Kudos!

    This training has a considerable structure and explaining all the details to the audience makes it possible to understand it fluently.
    It was interesting that you first introduced a little bit of your lifestyle. (Like it much)
    Very similar to mine :)

    Not a designer by any means, just looking for ideas and tips on designing my own logo. But man this was one of the dopest processes of art I’ve ever seen.
