- In this video, I walk through my process of coming up with perfectly balanced logos using grids. We go through an initial brief, sketching and vectorizing our sketch in illustrator using a well-constructed logo grid.

"Put your mind on paper... just bring out all those bad thoughts until there's one good one." Man, I love how you expressed this. Really takes the pressure off the creative process, especially for those of us who aren''t super comfortable or experience with hand-sketching. Thanks!
Thank you very much. All we need is to be right once in a project 😊
Thank you for this! Every time I have encountered your work I learn something - your gifts and generosity of spirit are evident and effective ⭐
Thank you very much. This means a lot. I'm deeply grateful 🙏
For some reason, an arithmetic approach to design helps me understand things more easily. That 4.5x, x and x/2 in the thumbnail made this a whole lot clearer. I've been trying to understand grids and every other person just seems to draw lines and never tell us why.
You just made this so crystal clear, I can't wait to try this on something. I'm new to Illustrator and your clarity is a blessing. Thank you so much.
Thanks so so much. This means a lot sincerely. I appreciate you 🙏. Let me know what you'll love to see from my channel. Thanks so much again
This guy is an excellent teacher

Nice work man..
Would have preferred a rounded wordmark to compliment the logo mark
Wow good suggestion actually. I'm sure it could pair better. Would try to test it out and see.
Cheers👍
More please
Thank you very much Samuel. I will be releasing a new video very soon
How did you make the very nice visual background at 6:00? It looks clean with the white logo on it.
Thank you. I actually downloaded it from Pexels.com. if you search with terms like 'abstract' 'futuristic' etc, there are some really cool backgrounds available for free. Unsplash.com is also a good resource.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial Sir, but if i may know, what is the meaning of x, 4.5x or x/2 on the logo grid final preview in the end of the video? Thank you keep up the good work
Thank you very much. x/2 is half of the unit length uses to build the logo. So for example the width of the bottom of the P is x. Half of that is x/2 and 4.5 times that that unit length of x is = 4.5x. Let me know if this helps
@@azpidi Thank you very much for the respond! I'm starting to understand now, so what is the value for the letter x? Or is x just a helper to adjust the size of the logo so that the value for x depends on the size of the logo? i am sorry for this long question
@@yonantegarasjaya276 Yes xis just to represent a unit length of measurement. Like you said also, it depends on the size of the logo so x can change as you scale of the logo. But it helps to know that for example, one area is always 'x/2' and another area is always 'x/3' and so on.
Hi, thanks it looks good. What website do you work on to sell these design?
You're welcome. I actually do not sell templates but I'd recommend Envato or Freepik
@@azpidi Thanks!
In your point of view which website is best to sell designs as a graphic designer?
Envato or Freepik
Pls how do you make your grids have this mathematical sign like (2x...4.5x )like that....it makes the logo look balanced
It's same thing you do when pairing typeface with logo right....how do you do that
Thanks
Hello. This is usually done from the sketching phase. Once I have the concept, I try to use rulers, pencils and a compass to actually design the structure based on proportion. It might not be 100% accurate but this gives me a base to work with. After this, I take the sketch to illustrator where I accurately draw it out.
Let me know if this helps
@@azpidi thanks
What the size of the X?
Its about 30px. But when it comes to grids, there's actually no fixed gap between elements, you have to "eye-ball" it and check at different scales. I hope this helps
How to make grid
Do you mean like grid squares?
@@azpidi exactly how to make logo on grids
Don't want to be that guy but your logo looks like the ShadowPay logo
Oh wow, I just came across it and you're right. Didn't mean to copy them though, just seeing it for the first time. But thanks for spotting it out
