This is really cool! Do you think one day you could do a tutorial on a power metal logo? Like Judas Priest or Dragonforce logo

[@cbox1487]

Sick! Liked how you worked from client sketch in this one.

[@SpearheadMedia]

I love working from client sketches mate, it's always a huge help when clients have a clear idea/direction to work from!

[@peacemaster8117]

Holy shit, this is exactly what I was hoping you'd make but had neglected to ask for. You read my mind, you madman. This is sick! Thank you!

[@SpearheadMedia]

Nice one buddy, really glad this was the vid you were lookin for! Hope it helps with your logo designs, best of luck 🤝🤝

[@alexmolinax]

That was awesome! I love making this kind of logos

[@SpearheadMedia]

Nice one pal, me too! It's a nice satisfying process - I get to make fewer and fewer logos like this these days as the gritty, extra detailed stuff is more sought after, do this was a pleasure to make 🙏🙏

That thumbnail 💯😂 also amazing work as always 👌

[@SpearheadMedia]

All I wanted was a pepsi! 😂 Thanks a mill buddy, glad ya enjoyed it 🤝🤝

[@zaiDUNE]

Pretty cool bro!!

[@SpearheadMedia]

Nice one buddy, always good fun making thrash logos 🙏🙏

[@zaiDUNE]

Bro, can I tag you on Instagram?, I want to share my work inspired by your RUclips video,btw I only using android software :)

[@SpearheadMedia]

@@zaiDUNE hell yeah mate that would be sick, deffo gimme a tag - I'd love to see what cool design you made from my vid 🤝🤝

[@Tehstroyer]

Out of curiosity: you don't seem to use vector a lot, do you?
In one other video you mentioned that if it's for a client you might need it in a vector format and you just put it through automated vectorization in Illustrator.
I remember that being garbage - is it better now, it's good enough for contrasty logos or are you more like "if it seems good, it's good enough - vector simplicity be damned"? Or does Photoshop have some vector stuff in it? Feels like your freehand selection workflow would fit if it did.

[@SpearheadMedia]

Yeah mate, most of the time I image trace with illustrator - it's gotten much better in the last 5 years or so. The trick is to import a raster version of the logo that's about 10,000px at 300dpi and then fiddle around with the sliders until it's as close to the original as possible. Honestly I feel sometimes the tiny bit of smoothing in the vectored version makes the logos look even better and tighter in the end.
Then I just expand and delete the background parts after the image trace and export as a .EPS or whatever format the client prefers

[@vicc.4290]

Can i make this in photoshop? Its all I have

[@salemdatura]

Where can I commission work?

[@loganbotwig]

please make the tutorials slower, i missed a lot os steps here because of how quick the video is and the lack of guide. Graphic is awesome as always, just wanna learn more.

[@mikefearon3577]

Set the playback speed lower 😉

[@SpearheadMedia]

Cheers for the feedback mate! Yeah this vid isn't really a tutorial, moreso speed art, but I'm sure you'll be happy to hear I've got more full length tutorials coming in future. Best of luck pal 🙌🙌

[@SpearheadMedia]

Also yes, maybe try watching back at 0.5 speed - that could be a lil easier to follow along!

[@ganapathyaiyappa3327]

psych no speed art pls my eyes went ooolalala 😂😂😂😂

[@SpearheadMedia]

hahah reminds me of the bulging eyeballs scene in total recall
