How To Prepare Logo Files for Clients

In this video I'll be demonstrating how you can use Adobe Illustrator to prepare and generate all of the proper file formats and variations for a logo design.
This video was created to accompany an article I wrote back in 2018 about preparing logo files for clients. If you'd like more details about the file formats and variations I include and why they're necessary, be sure to check out that post here: logosbynick.com/logo-files-fo...
To generate a ZIP folder at the end of the lesson I used a free piece of software known as 7Zip. You can download that here: www.7-zip.org/download.html
If you want to learn more about logo design, be sure to check out my Logo Design Academy - an interactive 18-part video course where you will learn my entire creative process for coming up with logo ideas and implementing them: logosbynick.com/learn/

this single VID has lifted a weight off my shoulders, I have been struggling to learn this for some time now, never knew it was here all along, may your days be long @ NICK

[@SuperTehri]

why cant all youtube tutorials be this straight forward. 10 out of 10.

[@khristiec6863]

This is so useful! I'm just starting out and struggling to understand how to send files to clients. This video is a huge help 👏👏

This is one of the best videos I've seen. thank you for sharing.

[@thrallski]

First tutorial I've watched on the subject that actually made sense and saved time. Thank you for making this!

[@clairelouise6457]

It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful people are at sharing their knowledge. Thank you very much Nick for taking the time to pass on your knowledge and basically train your audience. Not only is your tutorial excellent for the how-to aspect of illustrator but also good methodical working habits for newbies. I truly appreciate it. I'm now a subscriber. :)

[@mrmohammad8775]

i want sizes for social media

[@raymundoramirez8803]

This is just what I needed!! I've been growing as a graphic designer on my freetime and really didn't have a good understanding of how to set up these types of things for clients. This is more than helpful!!!

[@cassidyl7999]

Thank you! This was super helpful and filled in the gaps I was always stumped on! I can't believe I used to do it any other way!👏👏

[@jacobdavies1162]

I usually hate this process of finishing off a design project and you have just blown my mind! So simple! I cannot believe how much time and effort I have wasted doing this on previous projects. Thank you so much for such a well explained and easy to follow video!

[@retromatador5687]

Thank you, I worked pretty hard on my first logo for a customer and this really helped me to get organized and send them something very professional when all was said and done. Great Tutorial!

[@francisalonzo4827]

Thanks for sharing. I just got everything I need to know about preparing Logo files. 🥂

[@huawang5965]

Very useful tut. What really grinds my gears is you do all this thoughtful work for your client and they don't give it to printers when they need promo stuff done. They just give us low res jpegs. Remind your clients to save these files in a place they can access whenever they need things printed.

[@fayezabdurrahman853]

"What we want to do now" is the iconic phrase delivered by Mr. Nick.

[@sunfl0wer132]

Thank you for this tutorial!! Really clear, really simple, exactly what i wanted to know. Cheers for that!

[@kenortiz1031]

YOU'RE AMAZING!! Thank you so much, glad I found your page.

[@leilanipatrick6018]
