- Sit back, relax, and probably grab a snack. Welcome to episode 1 of however many, where I redesign logos of all sorts, good or not! In this episode, we tackle AT&T, Chipotle, and Zara. If you have any logos you think I should take a spin on, let me know!

i swear the letter z is not real after looking at it for so long
my head started reading it like (?)ARA at some point
Yeah it’s literally just a sideways N
Looks russian
the more I look at the 'Zara' the more it just doesn't look like a word anymore😂
Goshhhh I totally feel the same!!!! It is like "what the fuck does ZARA mean anymore?"
I look at it and it still looks like a word, but the Z looks backwards. It isn't. But I get that same feeling like I'm looking at a backwards letter
GlowWorm
ikr
same but with chipotle lmao
I began to read it like Z ara
I can't take my eyes out of that sarcastic rainbow Comic Sans wallpaper xD
Nice pfp 👌😂😂
who said it was sarcastic 🤪😎
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Alskksjdjeidj L in ur pfp is so flipping cute 🌟 (〃ω〃)
It’s driving me mad....
It'd be cool to see you do a design roulette! Like pick a logo/brand, and then pick a style of an iconic graphic designer or a design trend and challenge yourself!
Gretchen Vandervort that’s such a sick idea!
that would be amAZING
you should try the youtube logo! or maybe the coca cola logo?
geraldine kids omg YESSS
Can’t change the Coca Cola logo it’s a classic
LG Lettuce I think that’s the challenge
Coca Cola is my all time favorite brand design, such a classic.
Yesterday I was watching a documentary on the 80's and there was a segment about the "cola wars" between Coke and Pepsi. Pepsi had run the Pepsi Challenge ad campaign and most people in the blind taste test said they liked Pepsi better, so Coke introduced "New Coke" and got massive amounts of shit for it because avid Coke-drinkers hated it and preferred the original Coke. After that, they apologized and rebranded the original formula as "Coke Classic" and wiped the floor with Pepsi. They've taken the nostalgia/"don't change a good thing" approach to their brand ever since.
My thoughts:
AT&T was great, I still like the curve in their lines to make it look global but I love your gradiation and sticking with the same cyan blue.
The Chipotle logo looks a lot like chili’s ( I thought that before you googled Chilis) to me. Perhaps a darker red and no green and the stem should have a thicker break. I like the font of you used, I wish the “c” was larger. Good idea on swapping the “o” for the pepper and I liked the curve of Mexican grill or straight, both look awesome.
Zara should be capitalized because it looks juvenile to me. I like the font and charcoal grey you chose.
Sarah Jennett I love this critique. put in your thoughts while also saying what she did well. I think you should start with the positives on all of them like you did with the at&t one tho.. (:
No one cares about your thoughts
Harry The Moth if you don’t care, why did you reply? Stop trying to troll people on the internet, and maybe spread some positivity. I thought this was a really good critique, and the comment section is literally for sharing your thoughts about the video.
@@harrythemoth412 imagine being this mad about a youtube comment
@@harrythemoth412 I care. They explained themselves politely and eloquently.
I stared at zara for too long. Now I dont even register Z as a letter
the chipotle logo is amazing, that should be the real one :)
thank you! xx
I think it looks to much like chili’s but hey you’re entitled to your own opinion :”)
trueee
Of all the logos she’s done, I love that one. So good.
folks, looks nothing like the chillis logo
I think Zara needs serifs, I think it would be important to let those be where they were, since all the brands stopped putting serifs in their new brands, and now all of them look the same and without personality. I like Zara's original brand, they changed it, I like it, but I think it's over exaggerated. If it wasn't that over exaggerated it would be cool. And for me it looks like high fashion, since it's simple but elegant. Serifs give elegancy in my opinion.
i was confused why everyone is saying "z doesn't look like a letter anymore" but it really doesn't after i watched this video
I was also super confused so i just skipped to the end to see what it looked like and even without starring at it for long it still looks off. I feel like it doesn't flow with the rest of the letters and the thin diagonal line makes it look like it's tipping over to the left
Z looks like an italicized L with a cape
Yeah, thats a big problem right away. "I bought this shirt at Lara"
The Elements of Typographic Style: "Be careful with kerning. People spend entire lives designing fonts and you could ruin it with improper kerning."
ZARA: "HOLD MY -253"
Vinicius Lambardozzi
TRACKING
True... but this rule doesn’t apply for a logo. And this rule is mostly for the people who is not educated in graphic design.
@@savvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvva kerning and tracking always hold true for everything that use typography. Unless you have a concept that explicity is about mis-aligning the letters for something like kinder care, or a punk company or magazine etc. Kerning like a master and knowing why to track type is the difference between being a real craftsman of the trade or a weekend hobby hack that doesn't care to be that detailed because they are too lazy when it comes down to being a real designer.
Oh my god imagine how much they payed for Fabian to rebrand and it literally took you two minutes to imitate 🙈💀😂
imitating and creating are two very different things
Slippy S. didn’t mean any offence, “she re-created the Zara logo extremely quickly” is probably how I should have worded it
Lauren Crawford no problem i got what you were saying ;)
Designers are not paid for imitating, they are paid to make the face (identity) of the company
It’s not about the time or effort it takes to make the logo. I‘ve heard the nike logo was made in 2 minutes. You are paying for the value you‘re getting. And for a multi million dollar company it’s essential to have a “face“ that is instantly recognizable. That’s why a designer will design a logo that’s just as good for a smaller company for a fraction of the price. It’s called value based pricing. It’s about how much income they can expect from the new image (which will obviously be way more than a smaller company).
Hmm, I don't know about the Zara one, the 'ara'-part looks so rounded and then the 'Z' looks so straight and harsh. Just doesn't look cohesive to me. Loved the Chipotle logo though!
zara's logo is just the Harper's bazaar logo with even less space
Bless this mess that was the immediate logo that came to mind when I saw the rebrand
You could redesign logos such as Coke Cola or Walmart but interject social commentary. Or redesign logos using the stylistic choices of iconic or contemporary graphic designers or artists, like William de Kooning or Paula Scher.
this is a GREAT idea!
I have literally no knowledge of graphic design but UA-cam recommendations brought me here and I became mesmerized by the process. I love the chipotle logo!
I really enjoy how you describe your process. "I'm to make a copy of this one and pull it a little closer together so it seems nice and comfy" 😆☺️
I just looooove seeing the process. I've been on a watching spree and it makes me wanna do graphic design again. I did design school but I switched to being an elementary school teacher...Your videos make me wanna get back into it. Your style is really close to what I used to try doing and i'm just loving watching you design stuff. Thank you so much for your content. You lit that spark again!
Kel with her graphic design mind: I don’t know which font to use
Me: they’re literally the exact same
Lmao I literally googled the Chili's logo like 20 seconds before she did
‘Till I watched this video I’ve never realized the letter Z was so similar to the number 2
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
~gRapHic DeSigN iS My pAsSiOn~
I don’t know if your joking or not
if you made a video about your design college experience and early career (like where you got started) i would DIE ! i’m currently a stressed 18 year old trying to figure out my path to become a graphic designer
oof I definitely should!! it was a long and rough ride but it was so worth it in the end :))))))
Loved the video! So interesting and not something you usually find on youtube. Please do more of these!
thank you i appreciate this so much!!
cough cough Zimri Mayfield cough cough
I find both Kel and Zimri's videos so bingeable!
i love you’re combining them, i’m thinking of going into graphic design so this is really cool to watch :))
SO EXITED FOR THIS VIDEO!
"this is definitely something saul bass would do today"
*searches up saul bass*
saul bass: *died in 1996*
_yes as if he were still alive_
omg, the color palette for Zara was so nice! I love all those colors together!
Not knowing anything about graphic design, these videos are super interesting to watch for me! It’s weirdly satisfying?? For some reason?? I need moreee
Thanks for your energy! You inspired me to keep designing 😊
I love all of your logos! Please keep doing this series!!!
Also your snap and point brought back some serious 8th grade nostalgia 😂😂❤❤ miss you girl!
yay I’m a first year graphic student & I love this 😍
Your vibe, your designs and your body language are the best - I just watched through all of your design videos and I feel inspired. Thank you for helping me snap out my creative block!
A chipotle is a dried up jalapeño pepper. So you should have kept the dried look to the chilli...great designs tho!😎
Ouuuh i love this!!
And yes, more videos like this would be awesome, its fascinating to see how you work!
thank you! :)))))
I love that you did this video! ive always been interested in graphic design and seeing how you work and use your tools is just inspiring! thank you girl!
The Zara logo isn’t rocking my boat but each to their own. You had a minimalist cursive when you were trialling fonts which I think fit their demographic a lot more, just my opinion ofc
i thought about the cursive, but theyre style is way too minimal and a cursive doesnt make sense for their brand, so i nyxed it!
I absolutely ADORE your chipotle logo. I feel like the current logo doesn’t match the aesthetic of the store and it’s demographic at all, your redesign really captures how I think chipotle has evolved
please please please continue this series!!! i found it super helpful as an amateur designer 😅
Agghhh Kel I'm in love with you, please keep making this series!!😭❤️
Pretty cool video! I’d like to see more. I’ve never realized how much thought and work goes into creating things that seem so simple like logos
thank you! I appreciate it, logos are so much more than people think lol
i would love to see some fast food/restaurant logos that havent had a facelift in a while, like burger king or dennys. you have a great style!
Even though I like the colors you used for Zara, I think black was representing a stronger brand and a powdery pink made the logo seem weaker. Still great designs tho!
i get what you mean, thats why i went more mauve vs pink so its more of a neutral tone. I didnt want to use black to contrast everything they already had as a brand and go more tonal and elevated.
The way you put the logos in samples and on signs in the second video was a major upgrade. I really love being able to see the visual "in the world". It also breaks up the video and keeps the energy going. Anyways, love your content!
That first at&t reminds me of NASA logo. I dunno wtf
Your desktop wallpaper is hilarious 😂
Love this video idea!! Can't wait for more vids like this!
All I see is “Chipitle” but I love these!
I'm amazed at the pic you took of your sketches. It was perfectly even and level like it was scanned in or something.
this is such an amazing, unique and new vid idea, really loved it and you should be proud of it !!
I loved this!! Thanks for sharing! I love seeing what you do for a living! I have to be honest I really related and enjoyed this content more than makeup tutorials and some of your other stuff (not a very stylish or into makeup Haha but do stuff like this on the computer all if the time for fun!) But I watch every video and will always support you! Love watching you succeed and be happy!
I absolutely love this video! I'm studying graphic design in college and I have hit quite a snag in my life thinking maybe it's not what I should be doing because everyone is so much better than me. I'm taking at least a semester off from school to kind of find direction in my life again and I think this video alone has really helped already. I would love to see more videos like this one because hearing you talk about graphic design and understanding what you're saying and doing it such a cool thing for me. I really love that I found you through your orange hair dye video that you posted after this one haha.
woooow this is sooo cool
this is so soothing to watch
I already know your going to be a really famous youtuber and you have a HUGE future❤️
Definitely make this a longer series! love it
I'm just happy to see a Graphic Design channel, so far I'm 9 months in my program at Full Sail and I'm in love ❤️
loved the design for chipotle!
illustrator crashing and then the power going out right before you finish is just the perfect metaphor for being a designer lol (i say this as a designer)
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!!! Omgggg
The Chipotle Logo is so AMAZING!
fun fact: the third AT&T's logo thay you make with straight diagonal culine is really exist. it belongs to telkom, it was. a national telecommunication and metwork provider in Indonesia. that's their old logo. the difference is that they have some gradation in their diagonal line. it's awesome how human's brain can makes the same picture eventhough they never see it
Your logo journeys here are Brilliant and showcase your own unique take on current logos AND showing us tips on how we can use our sketching And imagination to design also. Great stuff
LOVE the chipotle logo!
Love this😉
The chipotle logo is sooo good!!😍
Found this actually very satisfying to watch
this video was SO GOOD
This was great :) I love the concept of this video!
Wow loved watching this. You're so good!
I remember when new look changed their logo I was so shaken at the time but now I love it
A cutie who's talented and makes amazing illustration. Perfect!
i loved this video super cool - love watching designers' process! i would love to see Urban Outfitters since their branding leaves a lot of room for creativity! i'd also love to see Unilever since they they have their "U" with all the symbols included paired with the cursive. definitely a lot to work with/off of! woo ty!
Pleeease please please do more of these!
Go girl ! Good job.
Love your style
Going through my watch later list and... here’s the first episode! Wow, I forgot I discovered you on the first one.
My favourite part of this is that her screen at the start says 'graphic design is my passion' in comic sans.
love this idea so much!! yesyes
Thank you!!!
literally the only complaint I have is that it was so quite so I had to listen on 100% and the ads literally blew out my eardrums lol 😂
The Chipotle one is AMAZINGG!!
wow you’re so talented and amazing
this 30 minutes by so fast, I usually skip in these design videos but your video is so relaxing and interesting plus I learned new techniques.
I'm a graphic designer too. Its so cool to watch another designer work. :)
You're so undeniably cool! I fancy your fashion statement even your passion which also I have.
I adore your chipotle design
I know nothing about graphic design, fonts, illustrator or logos... but I'm obsessed with these videos.
You earned my subscription just for the wallpaper in your computer
The new official zara logo is a masterpiece i think . i really love it
Love the video! You did a great job on redesigning these logos!
this is the most creative video idea!! 10/10

That Chipotle logo truly is beautiful
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT🤩
Dude. You’re so good at this. These companies should hire you. For sure. Love your videos
