I know RIGHT i couldnt afford college again and now from Mikes tutorails i have watched every single one many times i now have my own clothing company and i support myself doing freelance graphic design. MIKE IS A GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH
I am going to school for graphic design and your tutorials are really helping me to become familiar with the software. My teachers teach me about the design but we are expected to master the software on our own, so this is incredibly helpful. I have learned so much just from this one video! I was doing all this wonky stuff to achieve what can easily be done with the shapebuilder tool. You just helped me so much.
ATTENTION EVERYONE!! Make sure you zoom in and out 56 times like this guy before beginning your logo. This WILL NOT WORK if you skip this crucial step.
+Aaron Ruiz lol i actually stopped the video at 2:07 just to see if theres anyone with a comment about this XD I dont know if I feel like puking more than wanting to punch the wall... Having said that this seems to be a great video (if ignoring the zooms)
I think this deserves more than 1 million views! !that's creativity, I may know how to draw each part separately, but the hard work is to combine them to get the final result, thank you for these details.
From one designer to another, you are incredibly talented. its hard for me to be impressed, but you have done so. your attention to detail is amazing. Keep up the great work.
funny how ive watched about 5 different youtube users videos on tutorials and logo designing and text artistry, yet i always come back to this one for the simple things i need to know that the "INTRO TO ILLUSTRATOR" videos cant provide. Awesome video, need some more simple ones like these for the newbs like me! Keep em coming
Hey, if you're watching this by the time this comment is posted I'd just like to say thank you very much for all the support, i WILL be coming out with new videos starting this week so why not subscribe and stick around to see how much better ive gotten in a full year! thank you.
that was super easy to follow, even though you were moving through quickly, your soft tone and explanation of each step made this an easy watch! thank you!
Hey MGD! Very Very Helpful Tutorial Mike! I have been struggling to make a logo of mine and all thanks to you I have been able to make a logo of my own all by myself...Really appreciate your efforts...Thanks!
Dunno if someone had already pointed this out, but there's actually an easier way to smoothen(?) the edges like those on the last step. I found this by coincidence, there's this tool right below the Move Tool on the Toolbar that looks exactly like Move Tool, but colored white. To use it, click the tool then click on the logo. You will see the path highlighted and on the edges/corners, you will notice there are white dots inside. You can drag those dots to give the corners radius. P.S I'm using AI CC so idk if it works the same way on other versions. And sorry I can't describe it any better because English isn't my mother-tongue
This is amazing tutorial and definitely best way to learn new ways in creating logos like this! Impressed and subscribed. Deserves a lot more likes and views. :)
Hey Mike for what its worth.. I want to thank you for your tutorial.. Ive used it several times to design various logos for my DJ Alias / Promo Brand And a logo for my friends music label. Thanks and much love. I hope You have made good money by now designing.
hello, when it using shape builder tool. and i want to remove the small circle in the middle pressing alt+del. why the both circle is deleted? is there any setting that i must change ? and i already put my cursor in the small circle. thank you
how did you do the alt then copy then drag? i what does the alt button do in illustrator , I press alt then you say "copy it" how do i copy it ? Ctrl C then Ctrl V ?
awesome vid man I can't do the R trick thing I select shaper tool and select both circles and hold alt and left click nothing happen I'm using windows 10 and the latest AI
I am trying to unlock or modify a logo so I can divided it in layers so I can make shopkins logo in fondant. which software can help me with that? please help meeee if you know
cant figure out why the "outline stroke" wont work for me on the R, everytime I use the shape builder tool to delete the stroke i dont want, it deletes the whole stroke...
Hey Mike, around 4:58 minutes in, how do you manage to align the two rectangle objects so precisely? I went to PREFERENCES and changed the setting to pt and mm, but neither of them did the trick for me.
when i have more than one thing selected and i try to delete a shape out of the many shapes selected even though it shows the undesired shape highlited from the shape builder tool it deletes all selected objects
i am having trouble with my text looking blury. i have not made my own text logo, i have just downloaded a font on illustrator. is their any way to make the font/text look more clean
i want a 60px(H) × 150px(w) logo....to print in bill...but if i do that small the logo gets pixelated.....how to solve this issue...in illustrator or in photoshop....plz tell me..both the method..
Hi there, is it good to add design/creative at the end of your brand name. I hear mixed answers on this. Some people say add when starting off others says don't add it. As a graphic designer I currently I have design at the end of my unique name. It's been running for 1 year now but don't know if i should remove to make it shorter. Your advice would really help. Thanks
Hello. And thank you for your tutorial. I have a question.... At minute 4.59, when i place the other shape above the first one, it goes way to the left or way to the right, but it it doesn't get exactly over the first one. Should i set something ?
I used same method and I wanted to apply gradient to it. So, When I choose "Compound path" Its messing up whole design. Any other ways to apply single gradient on these objects?
For say I was to buy a logo for a Call Of Duty Sniping Team I am starting up.. If I was going for something simple.. something to represent the name.. a thick logo like for example Faze Clan, or ObeyAlliance.. How much would that be? I am running low on budget so I would like a good price please... BTW I have seen you have done a logo for a good friend of mine Vane.. but that is way to complex for me.. I need something basic
Great for some techniques, mentions using Photoshop for logos, but if you want maximum usability for your clients, stick with Illustrator. nice finished product
I did that in Adobe Photoshop. Take your logo and put it in. change the background to black using the paint bucket tool. then in the layers section double click your logo and select color change.
your tutorials have helped start my own company and brand. thank you so much man for helping me, someone who cant afford more college to learn this.
I absolutely love that support man, I will make more videos starting monday thanks to this comment.

+Aaron Ruiz Its vital to the creation of the logo

+Aaron Ruiz I'm glad that I'm not the only one annoyed by this zooming in and out.

not quite sure how to do an O and make it look good because the hole is centered and it interrupts the center line you make in the start
how did you do the alt then copy then drag? i what does the alt button do in illustrator , I press alt then you say "copy it" how do i copy it ? Ctrl C then Ctrl V ?
+Helmika Mahendra You can do ctrl c and ctrl v but the quicker way is using alt.
