  • How to create a simple logo using GIMP. I normally don't recommend using raster applications to create logos (vectors are ideal) but if you just need something simple for limited use it should be alright as long as you create it at a very large size.

    This tutorial is for GIMP version 2.8 and is intended to teach beginners how to use the software. Inkscape is a great free alternative to Adobe Photoshop.

    Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I have just started out with digital media and up until now I've just been practising my artistic style but today my brother approached me and asked me to design a logo for him for his new business! My first commission! So naturally I headed straight to UA-cam to get some pointers and this video is everything I needed! So again, thank you!

    Hey man I hope you know how much you still help people. I just used your tutorial for making a face into a galaxy and did so with a picture of my father who has long ago passed away. It meant the world to me to be able to do so. So thank you for taking the time.

    Thanks for another quality Gimp the tutorial. I'm curios, why can't you just use Delete on a Mac. I looked it up and they do have a delete key like a standard keyboard. Did the Gimp developers disable it for Mac for some reason?
