*UPDATE:* Inkscape released version 1.0 earlier this year, and it changed the way stroke-to-path works. Be sure to check out an update video I made for the workaround: ruclips.net/video/Sy0nUkUt9CA/видео.html
Hey Nick, great tutorial, thanks for sharing. I'm just a total newbee and it's helping a lot. Regarding the mentioned breaking change in v1.0, I have already trouble with the "break apart" to get rid of the hexagons lower corners (at 02m30s) after the difference of the hexagon and the circle. Instead of breaking the the diff-object into the 6 corner objects, I'm now getting again the original 2 objects (full circle and full hexagon). Am I doing something supidly wrong or is that another change in the software (and how do I work around this)? Thanks in advance, cheers
Thank you for the videos and information. Your channel as open opportunities for me in graphic design. Thank you for the assistance and I hope your channel grows daily
@Benny Hill If you're saying that human brain's synapses is strikingly similar to the pulse code modulation commonly utilized within myriad integrated circuits, then yes I should be more mindful of my virtual verbal abuse. Fucking computer made me type this trash!
Perfect lol, I just downloaded inkscape specifically for making a logo for a new start-up, searched generally for inkscape tutorials without specifying any particular purpose or reason, and your video was one of the first that came up! Very helpful and well taught without bogging a new user down with detail.
I took the time to make a profile just so I could comment on how great this guy is at making tutorials. clean crisp voice, explained literally everything you were doing, just all around great. Thanks a lot man!
Looking to create a logo for my business, figured I could create my own, found your videos, downloaded Inkscape, a few hours in and I’m learning how to use this pretty awesome bit of software! Very grateful for your clear guidance! Time to get creative!
Thank you Nick for your tutorial. I did it this afternoon as a first exercise to discover INKSCAPE. I manage to do it completely nearly without problems. Thanks a lot. I will do the others.
Thank you, Nick! Military training taught me that reading & following directions gets work done. You give the BEST directions. I'll be doing ALL my logo work using your tutorials with my newly uploaded Inkscape. Brilliant!
Hi Nick. You are doing a great job. I started this tutorial and it is very helpul for a beginner on inkscape like me. Thank you very much. Keep going....
2:26 many people fail here i think it need to explained that the hexagon vertical sides must be 90 degrees precisely perpendicular. Because when it is not, the circle won't take it right because we got the wrong width (from the not perpendicular upright hexagon), and the circle becoming too big (or too small) for the hexagon.
I can't enough express my gratitude for what you have done. You always provide valuable tutorials such as this one. Without this i would never make new and better logos. Thanks man, you are the best!
i just randomly came across this and its so useful! thank you! my photoshop plan is ending soon however i only used it for graphic design anyway so im going to to start using inkscape.
If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/
Hello Nick - Great Tutorial I'm pretty new at Inkscape (which is a bit embarrasing since it was introduced slightly to me years ago at University, but I didn't really give it a chance back then - probably due to graphics not being a major element of the education, but probable also a lack of decent tutorials online :) ), so I am trying to follow along here. At the point 5:06 when you're making the first outline of the shape you say that you're just holding shift and clicking the colour red to give the shape a thin outline - Nothing happens when i do the exact same thing... I guess I have a never version of Inkscape now, since we're in 2020, but still - it seems like something that should work about the same way :)
I recently went looking for Illustrator alternatives. Damn dude, when I first tried Inkscape on my own I was so confused. It was almost frustrating, but then you realize its just like learning Illustrator (or any other software) for the first time. I'd hate to rely on Adobe and its shortcuts as a crutch. Great vid. I'm picking this up little by little, and when I can make graphics with non-Adobe products, I'll feel less restricted as an artist.
Pls Ive been looking for this for a long time and finally I found u!! You're literally a life saver. It kinda took a while to download but it still worked.
Great tutorial! Thank you! I took a slightly different take at the end by subtracting certain geometries (all the white objects) and placing an image underneath, selecting the image and logo (one object at this point) then going to clip ->Set to apply the image to the logo. Then I took the logo i had duplicated before and set it on top and changed the opacity to about 25% to give it a bit of contrast. Thanks again!
Fantastically clear tutorial, i am going to give this one a go right now, thank you for this as i have just established a brand name and have started to look at designing a logo. This will help me immensely.
I completed it although fell off at the text part and some of the shape resizing. Break A part is a creul mistress but did the whole thing. I am using these tutorials to improve my skills and practice with inkscape. Thanks Nick. Even if this is a couple years late!
Oh, this is a lot to learn in one go but it's been helpful so far. Some things are not as easy when I did it so I will have to follow this again some time. I have redesigned my logo on paper and to do the graphics myself.
huh not being mean (I'm only 10) but I watched all of his inkscape videos and I know how to do transparent objects, so does that mean I'm an artist if ive been doing it for 4 years??? ADVICE..
So i had a problem with the stroke being invisible even though the opacity is at 100% and many other people are having the same problem. How i fixed it was that in the bottom left where it shows your color for your shape and stroke, now what to look out for is when the stroke color is only filling up half the bar that means your stroke color is "invisible" to fix this just click on the bar and in the color selection find the A (stands for alpha) and increase that to 100%. Hope this helped yall!
Hi Nick your tutorial are awesome. I have just started using ink space for graphics design. I don't have any prior experience with any graphic designing software. Do you use any particular version of ink space? It will be great if you could help with how to place all tools bar and setting so that we can work easily. Thanks
This is impressive, I have a sporting goods store and we do a lot of garments printing. Have been using Photoshop and Illustrator. I think I will learn Inkscape instead and use this program. Nick, can you please suggest some beginners videos to start? I also have a logo needs to be redesigned. how much do you charge to design a logo? Thanks, Raza
wow! inkscape is really amazing, and you're a great teacher, thanks for these videos, best wishes for everything you do. ...and, awesome that you're teaching on ubuntu unity. it would be nice to also show off how unbelievably powerful the HUD is especially with a program such as inkscape, where there are so many menu options that can be easily found with the 'tap alt' and type to search.
16:32 - you don't need to manually rotate stars. Inkscape starts them off based on the direction and angle you drag in. For properly aligned ones, just drag directly upwards.
Great video Nick! I think I know why you got the artifacts with the circle and polygon; if you use difference on the circle and polygon without changing them to a path first the artifacts show up, but changing them to path first it keeps the nodes to a minimum without artifacts. b d
Just found your channel man, really support your work. Looks like clean, informative content. I'll be sure to contact you for my logos and other graphic design needs.
I've followed your steps in this tutorial in creating my own badges a few times without incident. However, today I started making a circle badge. When I to text -> put on path, it flips all the letters vertically. They're in the correct order, but letters are flipped. I've opened two other new files and tried adding the text to a circle without incident. Then I go back to my project and it jacks it all up. Flipping vertically or horizontally jacks it up further.
I had a similar problem and it drove me crazy. Probably an Inkscape bug. I solved it by putting the text and the path on a different layer to the other objects.
Hi Nick. Thanks very much for this. I have to say that I found some of the steps unnecessarily complicated. For example, when I made the initial shape which you made by choosing a polygon and a circle, and then performing various operations on them, I simply created two rectangles, rounded the corners of one, shrunk the other a little and put it over one set of the rounded corners of the original rectange, used the bezier tool to draw a triangle which I put on 'top' of image, and then used 'Union' to group them. I was going to use Group. That just seemed simpler to me than the way you went about it. Had I carried on, I had other ideas, although I really like the way you created an outline around the object. The way I was thinking about doing it was more complicated. So, I have a question - are there reasons you went about this the way you did - smaller file size, or something like that - or is it simply a case of one person might go about something a little differently than another person? Is there something inherently better about the way that you created the original shape than the way I did it? Many thanks again.
Hi Nick, your videos are great snd I'm a newbie, I'm very raw when it comes to Graphic design. In all your videos you do everything's from scratch and I'm doing good but half way through I always mess something up. My question is , if I find editable vectors like logos how can I adjust and change the text? Let's say I find a vector logo and I just need to change the text and maybe color scheme. I know this question is very broad bit any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there!! I really enjoyed this tut, thank you so much for the enlightenment!! I've been using Inkscape but I didn't knew some these details.. Cheers!
I know this vid is quite old but I tried to follow step by step. My problem is that at 5:30 I am not able to change the outline to a path. Stroke to path does not work. So the steps afterwards (Break apart; union) do not show any progress. I am working with latest version (1.0; 2020-05-01) of Inkscape. Anybody out there with same problem and/or probably a solution?
I really enjoyed the tutorial i'm a complete newbie on inkscape, just have a question, How do you make teh white parts transparent? i did a little logo and want to used over some photos and can't get to show all white as transparency, thanks.
Hi Nick, how are you? I am triyng to make my logo with some parts transparent like your logo, but I am having doubts to do that! Could you explain how can I do to make this using Inkscape?
First time using Inkscape. I imported my .png file of my logo, which has a transparent background but when I export as .svg the background is white and no longer transparent. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Great tutorial! By the way, I wanna ask a question about Inkscape. Does it have a function which exports all the svg codes to a text file like Adobe Illustrator does so that we can directly copy and paste the svg code into our html file? Thanks!
I don't think so, but I'm not sure. You can go to the XML editor to view the code (control + shift + x) but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to, or if it can be exported.
@@LogosByNick Thank you Nick. That's exactly what I do. I have to save my graphic as svg file and then open it up in a notepad to copy and paste the code. But that is not so convenient as what people can do in Ai. Anyway, thanks for the reply and you tutorial. It's enlightening.
Nice tutorial but i have an problem at 5:57. I've done Stroke to path > Break Apart and then Unison. They are still separate but when i select together to merge them together, i see only the background of icon which it is grey, what should i do?
Hi i have the problem when i want to resize. my ball and my 3 corner seems to be one but when i want to resize i haven't your result ... and i see the difference between my items =/ So i do again the union but i still have the problem. Is it a bug ?
Hello Nick from NJ. Thank you and congratulations for the tutorial. I followed the tutorial, however at the end I can't get transparency on the logo. The part where it is supposed to be transparent, is filled by white color. Your video ends just after you make those parts on white color. May you tell how can I get the transparency done. Thank you
in my inkscape this path->difference then path-> break apart didn't work. All "triangle" thing stick together. I cant move single one. Please help me Nick
Hey Nick, Thanks for the video - I'm having difficulties with the break apart step at 2:45 (as mentioned by someone else below). I use the Path > Difference / Path > Break Apart but I only get two sections of the shape rather than all six of the corners like you get. Any ideas?
How do you invert the black / white areas to make it white on a transparent background? This logo doesn't show the image background through the white areas like your reference image does.
Hey bro if I sent the inkscape file to a logo I created could you make it where it would better translate as a logo? Like the words is what I mean If its scaled down it's not very legible. By the way love the videos looking forward to learning more.
Hi Nick, great videos!! I am also having the same issue as boedhaspeaks at 2:45, the only way to break apart the individual pieces is to make the duplicate circle larger than the original otherwise it does not work or only breaks it into two halves. Any thoughts? Thanks
Dumb Question Probably, but how do I make the Text Transparent like in the first pricture. With this Tutorial I have a Black and White Logo, but the first Logo you Show its White and Transparent. Huge Thanks though :) The Black and White Logo I nailed it
How do you make this a file that can be cut as seen on the screen? All the layers, even when grouped and saved as an SVG, show up and my cutting program reads them as separate layers
Thanks for the Video! Learning slowly but still kind of understanding it. But had a question how do you get it from the black/ white logo to the white being transparent? only the black part of the logo showing on a flyer?

Awesome and helpful videos! Thanks so much, great job.
in my inkscape this path->difference then path-> break apart didn't work. All "triangle" thing stick together. I cant move single one. Please help me Nick
Hi nick. How did you made the boarders see through like the one in your thumbnail? Did you trace bitmap again after you exported it? Thanks.
How do you get to set your custom display?
Very well explained. Thank you!
Hey Nick, Thanks for the video - I'm having difficulties with the break apart step at 2:45 (as mentioned by someone else below). I use the Path > Difference / Path > Break Apart but I only get two sections of the shape rather than all six of the corners like you get. Any ideas?
I know it's a long shot but did you ever fix this issue and make it like the video.
How do you invert the black / white areas to make it white on a transparent background? This logo doesn't show the image background through the white areas like your reference image does.
Hey bro if I sent the inkscape file to a logo I created could you make it where it would better translate as a logo? Like the words is what I mean If its scaled down it's not very legible. By the way love the videos looking forward to learning more.
Hi Nick, great videos!! I am also having the same issue as boedhaspeaks at 2:45, the only way to break apart the individual pieces is to make the duplicate circle larger than the original otherwise it does not work or only breaks it into two halves. Any thoughts? Thanks
Dumb Question Probably, but how do I make the Text Transparent like in the first pricture. With this Tutorial I have a Black and White Logo, but the first Logo you Show its White and Transparent. Huge Thanks though :) The Black and White Logo I nailed it
How do you make this a file that can be cut as seen on the screen? All the layers, even when grouped and saved as an SVG, show up and my cutting program reads them as separate layers
Thanks for the Video! Learning slowly but still kind of understanding it. But had a question how do you get it from the black/ white logo to the white being transparent? only the black part of the logo showing on a flyer?
Good video, Nick.
