The joke towards the end about a "football team having a death metal logo" is great as I'm watching this to help learn how to make a death metal version of my Roller Derby team's logo xD Great stuff, super helpful!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, really glad you're digging the tutorial vids! It has been fun trying to make a new vid every week or two and try to take on board what designs people wanna see too 🙏🙏
@@SpearheadMedia As a personal request, I’d love to see another video on photobashing at some point! Particularly in the vein of album covers, like your old-school death metal one. Keep up the great work, my friend. ☺️
@@Sanguivore Awesome mate, I actually have a new photo manipulation tutorial on the way so hopefully that'll be along the lines of what you're hoping for!
I gotta tell ya mate i bought an IAM shirt at one of their shows, realized it was your design and geeked out a bit. I genuinely love your work to fuckin death. You've helped me step my foot into this industry with your tutorials and I'm eternally grateful man. This one is probably my favorite one youve done.
Hell yeah buddy, stoked to hear you're getting into logo design! I hope this vid helps ya out and I'm wishing you all the best with making sick designs ⚔️⚔️⚔️
The webs and drips is what I think makes this logo, a lot of really cool embellishments that doesn't completely ruin legibility like all the jagged branches on most logos
Cheers dudede, you're a top tier legend! Really appreciate the kind words, and stoked people enjoying the vids. Looking forward to working with you again in future pal! 🖤🖤🖤
Hey dude! Just subbed, this channel and your work is awesome. Quick question. I get totally lost when you do the invert/stroke/invert/stroke bit but its the exact thing I'm looking for. Any chance of a brief explanation/guide on that bit? Cheers bro, stay rad.
Hi mate, unfortunately the processes are pretty complicated and time consuming. However, I'd recommend checking out some tutorials on Photoshop basics, and once you feel you've got a good handle on the programme, come back to these videos and you'll be able to follow along much easier!
Thanks mate, glad to hear it. For vectoring logos mate in Photoshop I usually export them super big, around 8000px at 300dpi and then image trace them in illustrator - you lose a wee bit of details that way, but it will get ya out of a pinch when needed
Hi mate, hope you're good! I used a drawing tablet for pretty much everything I do in Photoshop - for this particular logo I was using a Huion Kamvas which I think I prefer over Cintiq's. You can grab a Kamvas for around the 500 quid mark and they are a worthy investment!
Hey Ciarán, do you happen to know much about Inkscape? I know photoshop is generally the preferred logo making app, but...how could I put that layering you did on the font at 3:26 to make it "scratchy" or "edges" on the pre existing font? Calligraphic brushes basically? I'm using Inkscape, if anyone could chime in, I'd be grateful.
Unfortunately when texturing and detailing like this, if you warp at the end it will distort the texturing! Without the texture though it will certainly be no hassle to leave the warping until the end of the process
@@ganapathyaiyappa3327 yeah it can be pretty annoying ain't it haha, that's why I usually try get my overall form locked in before I start the detailing process!
When I'm using the lasso tool to outline the font to add spikes and stuff, it keeps being deselected while i'm outlining it, do you know why this happens and what to do?
There inverted the black letters later into white, then put an internal black stroke on that layer mate - hope this helps boss, just shout if you've any more questions 🙏
How do you get your letters so pitted and spiky? I'm working in Krita and my tablet drawing for the lasso tool is so smooth that I can't emulate that without working in really fine detail lol
Hi mate, cheers for your comment - im afraid I don't have any experience using Krita, but when drawing with the lasso tool I intentionally draw as jagged and sharp as I can when making the selection before filling with black. I use a Huion Kamvas drawing tablet which is a display tablet and I find that helps achieving the real spiky edging. I hope this helps, and I encourage you to keep at it! The more you work in a certain style the more tricks you will discover along the way for the programme you are working in 🙏🙏
@@SpearheadMedia Thanks for the tips dude! You’re a real inspiration tbh, you come on here and show off these awesome in depth tutorials and make it really digestible and understandable for newbies like me. Keep up the good work dude, you deserve to blow up on here!
Really happy to hear that boss, thanks so much for the really kind feedback! Super stoked that these videos have helped you and provided inspiration for you to make some killer artwork! I hope to continue making these vids so I hope you continue to enjoy and benefit from them 🙏🙏 Wishing you all the best with your design work and if you have any more questions in future don't hesitate to gimme a shout 🙌
I've been able to follow your tutorial so far (I'm using Gimp 2.1.0) I know it's not the best but, I'm having some trouble with the lasso tool and the auto-filling function. If anyone knows how to do it in Gimp pls help
You could use the bucket fill tool to fill the lasso selection in GIMP. I think you press shift+B to select the bucket fill tool, then left click your selection to fill it with your chosen colour. Hope this helps!

Thats unreal looking looks like a death logo so spikey
Thanks! Yeah the Death and Gruesome logos were a loose reference point for this one - looks so sick
i'd love to be able to follow along to some of this stuff. too fast to even pause for simple things though. do you do anything for beginners?
Hi mate, unfortunately the processes are pretty complicated and time consuming. However, I'd recommend checking out some tutorials on Photoshop basics, and once you feel you've got a good handle on the programme, come back to these videos and you'll be able to follow along much easier!
Top work as always 💪
You're a top bloke you are. The finest pair of Lidl stockins coming your way 🧦
Amazing work reminds me of Entombed
Oi cheers boss, Entombed are one of me favourite bands so I'm glad this has that sorta vibe. Long live Swedish HM2 metal!

You're a legend mate, nice one! 🙌🙌 Glad you're enjoying the tutorials, chuffed to hear it - I'll keep at it boss
Incredible
Cheers buddy really appreciate it 🙏🙏
you deserve more subs honestly
Thanks for the kind words buddy 🤝🤝 I really hope this vid helped ya out with a few tricks that'll help your process!
@@SpearheadMedia it sure did man!
Man i love the tutorial, this help me a lote to understand the process and how make a nice black metal aesthetics, but how you vetorize this logo?
Thanks mate, glad to hear it. For vectoring logos mate in Photoshop I usually export them super big, around 8000px at 300dpi and then image trace them in illustrator - you lose a wee bit of details that way, but it will get ya out of a pinch when needed
do you use a mouse while using the lasso tool to trace? those fine edges and points are sharp af.

small tip - if u are a beginner use warping and perspective at the end
Unfortunately when texturing and detailing like this, if you warp at the end it will distort the texturing! Without the texture though it will certainly be no hassle to leave the warping until the end of the process
@@SpearheadMedia OH OK I SEE THATS WHU MY TEXTURES GET FUCKED HMM THANX
@@ganapathyaiyappa3327 yeah it can be pretty annoying ain't it haha, that's why I usually try get my overall form locked in before I start the detailing process!
Fucking awesome dude
Nice one pal, hope it helped ⚔️
youre god damn genius
Oi nice one buddy! I really hoped this helped ya whip up some gnarly lookin logos 🤝
Love it!!!
Aw cheers lar, you're a top lad xo

The best lad. Let's make your streaming logo soon man 🔫🔫🔫
Lovely
No you're lovely 😍
When I'm using the lasso tool to outline the font to add spikes and stuff, it keeps being deselected while i'm outlining it, do you know why this happens and what to do?
are you using wacom to sketch ? if yes then which one
Hi there pal, I am using a Huion Kamvas Pro - it's a lot cheaper than a Wacom display 🖥️
Thank you I'm gonna go make some new channel art
Delighted to hear that dude, hope your new channel art is extra badass! ⚔
@@SpearheadMedia a girl can only hope it's fuckin slayer
What command do you use to display those outlines in 5:17?
There inverted the black letters later into white, then put an internal black stroke on that layer mate - hope this helps boss, just shout if you've any more questions 🙏
What command to make that drip and web effect?
Hi mate, I use the pen tool and draw the drip and webs in between the letters. Hope that helps 🙏
How do you get your letters so pitted and spiky? I'm working in Krita and my tablet drawing for the lasso tool is so smooth that I can't emulate that without working in really fine detail lol
