Whats so cool to me is how when you first look at a logo and think hmmm thats pretty solid, and then when you get in there and really start giving it some love and making things more consistent and you compare the two you immediately see the difference, number 3 was definitely the way to go. Thank you so much for this video it reminded me of how important the small details are. Great job!
Process of correcting was so impressive, but at the end of the video, Chris' creating process of letter "e" was mind-blowing. This guy know what he does man!!!
Great video. I personally really like these type of videos where you go a bit deeper into the technical stuff. And my favourite is #3, each letterform looks connected to the others and it has a beautiful balance.
If you skewed the square at 4:18 it would match the diagonal stroke. So, the horizontal width of the stroke is consistent. And three is best, the elements are more in harmony.
Love how you focus a bit on type design and recommend looking for reputable foundries (a daunting task in and of itself imho), which is super important when doing anything typographic whatsoever. You don't wanna be using a bad typeface, ever 😄 Also if you want to really improve your type designing skills, I think you wont get around drawing whole alphabets. It makes you understand the whole concept and the relationships between letterforms way better than just drawing one word. Great video, much love from Germany! ☺
I like the third the most you really made some great changes there on the "d" and the "e" but I would keep those little courvy elements on the e"s to give it something more unique for the brand.
I like the third one but the D still feels quite funky. It just feels more cartoony and not as mature as the other letters. I think the round in the middle of the D needed some adjusting to make it a bit more sharp and a better curve in the inner circle.
Just a tip for the audio. In this video the audio is heavily compressed, which is typical when you're dealing with vocals or speech, but when you do that in a roomy-sound (room mic.), the audio gets really "pumpy" and brings a lot of "room-artifacts" to the front. Compressing vocals from a condenser mic is fine, but make sure you minimize the room sound.
This was an information packed video! Expect nothing less from the Futur team of course. 😍 I am a little confused about the letter 'd' at 6:16 . The 'o' should have flattened correctly into the 'd' like it did in the Bodoni font, right? Since you'd fixed the thickness of the 'o' earlier? So why didn't it? I feel like I need to know this so that I know how to spot stuff like this in the future. Thanks again for your amazing content and hard work @TheFuturAcademy!
9:08 How come I can't do the same thing? when I select that anchor point with the direct selection tool and hold alt/option and drag the anchor point, the whole stroke moves to the right! my cursor show a + sign instead of double cursor icon when I hold the alt/option!
My vote goes to the 3rd iteration, but I'd like that little ball on the "t" to get cut out so only the ball on the "v" is left. It looks cleaner and easier to read in my opinion.
3. The second terminal gives it balance without being symmetrical. Alt/Option dragging a single anchor point duplicates the whole line for me... (UPDATE: because I didn't use the scale tool! You really do have to pay attention and watch full screen.)
i would love to go for 2nd sine its more simplified but i would take e from 3rd and put in 2nd one. may be it will make logo thinner but i will just try if it will work.
The overshoots for the rounded letters were DEFINITELY fine before. You said they were too big and then took them down to nearly the same height as the v. Obviously, this is a purely subjective thing, but saying that overshoots can't be that much taller than the x-height, and ESPECIALLY saying that they should be that close to it, is very dangerous misinformation to spread, especially when it's already difficult enough to find good information about what makes good and bad type. Overall, good video, especially when talking about thin and thick strokes. The style of font that you're referring to that has great contrast between stroke thicknesses would be a didone style font in case anyone wanted to look for more examples of this.
Hi Chris and Futur peoples! I've been a Sustaining Member since 2017 and have been applying everything I have learned to my designs and they have been 100 percent better! Now I want to up my game and start charging more for my designs just because I already undersell myself and I know that. I need the confidence of "a formula" in the form of spacing in typography. I'm looking for some serious ways to train on type like this video. I just really want to be confident in my typography spacing and know how to spot it across a room like Chris. I want to buy a typography course with my tax refund and I am very committed to it. So the question is. which course should I start on? I am a failed animator with a degree turned to dust. I have rebounded in graphic design through your channel and others like it and have gained many clients since then. So really what is the best course to take if I'm looking for tight type design and have a basic concept of typography but not traditionally trained?
Sir, I am from Pakistan and i like the way you teach big fan of you, sir, I have a problem when I design a cv or letterhead and go to export save as jpeg and save it when I print letterhead or cv content is blur it looks low quality could you tell me for print how to save properly Thank you very much
This video is really good but something is wrong with the audio , i m wearing headphones and there is buzz sound only in my right side , it feels like i had a bug in my ears i got really scared

Paul Scott small details add up to a bigger compound effect
The "e" walkthrough changed my life.
Yay!!!
These videos are brutally helpful. Keep 'em coming! Thanks.
*yes*
Process of correcting was so impressive, but at the end of the video, Chris' creating process of letter "e" was mind-blowing. This guy know what he does man!!!
Honestly agree, this channel is soooo helpful, useful and brilliant. I liked the option #3, most well-balanced piece of type in my opinion.
Great video. I personally really like these type of videos where you go a bit deeper into the technical stuff. And my favourite is #3, each letterform looks connected to the others and it has a beautiful balance.
The change is brutal. A few minor but very vital improvements.
Armando Vazquez it’s all in the details
Number 3. it's much more balance than other two. Great Work.
If you skewed the square at 4:18 it would match the diagonal stroke. So, the horizontal width of the stroke is consistent. And three is best, the elements are more in harmony.
YOU AND YOUR TEAM & THE COMMUNITY YOUVE INFLUENCED ARE A GODSEND!!!!!
Love this video guys x
I like the balance of the terminals in #3
Number 3, feels very balanced and all the contrast of thick and thins have been fixed .
What an amazing video, loved the presentation, style, music, wow, really nice pleasurable video
Best content ever! Can't wait for the event.
Another very informative video. Nice. 👍
Super stuff, learning something everytime I watch these videos! Love from Norway
Awesome video!
You probably hate these comments, but at 9:35 you can drag the stroke color into the fill box. You don't even have to hold option!
Thanks for the "e" walkthrough

Love the changes, I never thoughts about those while creating letterforms for logo design. thanks lot
Wow I love this channel so clear and helpful. Also you could try putting a poll on the video so we can vote our choice?
You guys are gems
A guide to typeface and how to use them depending on the context (web, print, subject) would be really helpful.
Brutally Brutally Brutally Brutally Helpful!!!!!
Appreciate it
All the time I was thinking, "This is not the way we indian designer think. Than at the end he says namaste. Mr. Chris Do I am in 🙏Namaste.
Excellent
Did he said "Namaste" ......... love from INDIA BRO .. both cahnnel are awesome ...
Yes I did.
namaste ! @@TheFuturAcademy
I like the third the most you really made some great changes there on the "d" and the "e" but I would keep those little courvy elements on the e"s to give it something more unique for the brand.
*amazing work*
I love your videos. And the background music makes it even better! Thanks you guys are AMAZING creat/ures/ors/
Love these videos

Agreed
This is awesome stuff ♥️♥️♥️

I liked the option num 3 was such pure
love it, THANKS
i wonder why this channel has such low subs - Great Work , keep on going (Y)
really really strong video
Awesome

I'm also confused about this.
I'm hoping someone's answered somewhere in the comments.
i leared somthing new today THANK YOU.
i like the 3rd one i've learnt so much thank you the futur
Love Futur ,Thanks :)
I prefer the "trois" (third). Love your videos
Merci beaucoup
i like the third one thanks for the video
Numéro 3 for sure!
9:08 How come I can't do the same thing? when I select that anchor point with the direct selection tool and hold alt/option and drag the anchor point, the whole stroke moves to the right! my cursor show a + sign instead of double cursor icon when I hold the alt/option!
He's selecting the anchor point and the path, are you just clicking the point or are you drawing a box over the path and the point?
Useful 👌
Awesome...
Very informative
Thank you
GREAT GREAT I LOVE IT
Learning daily something very useful.. keep doing..👍
Awesome✅✅✅✅✅
I never understand people who dislike your videos. :/
haniyah ejaz 🤷♂️
I hate that mosquito music. They did it again
very Thank you
I like the 2nd one the most.
My vote goes to the 3rd iteration, but I'd like that little ball on the "t" to get cut out so only the ball on the "v" is left. It looks cleaner and easier to read in my opinion.
you just saved me from trashing an assignment . Thankyou!!!!!!
Master Do!!!
Defo number 3
nice
3. The second terminal gives it balance without being symmetrical. Alt/Option dragging a single anchor point duplicates the whole line for me... (UPDATE: because I didn't use the scale tool! You really do have to pay attention and watch full screen.)
The third logo attracts my attention little bit of fun and fancyness.
I really like 3
You guys are such cool beans. 😎
Muito obrigado!
Merci
Seems so easy, which software do you use?
3 years late, but definitely #3!
How someone disagree 😎. Thanks for video ✌️✌️
Geezus, the meticulousness. Well done :)
I like 3 most.
Have your any courses on skillShare? Kindly provide link if have.
i would love to go for 2nd sine its more simplified but i would take e from 3rd and put in 2nd one. may be it will make logo thinner but i will just try if it will work.
what is the name of devote font
Can you form the "e" with Width tool?
I don't think we are eligible to disagree on the changes 😂😂
We like them we kinda know why ❤️
I like no. 3 but there are still some issues with the spacing between letters.
The overshoots for the rounded letters were DEFINITELY fine before. You said they were too big and then took them down to nearly the same height as the v. Obviously, this is a purely subjective thing, but saying that overshoots can't be that much taller than the x-height, and ESPECIALLY saying that they should be that close to it, is very dangerous misinformation to spread, especially when it's already difficult enough to find good information about what makes good and bad type.

Take our typography course. Thank you for your support these years.
that a great
8:43
Ok first off great lecture there Doctor Chris. Now that song at 5:24, I really want it badly who is the artist
Still prefer the No.3. Just those slight changes have it a different feel
What to do if I want my logo to be critique?
3 is look minimal modern and beautiful
it`s weird how the first letter set the tone for the rest of the word, i dig number 3.
Please put the name of the songs in the description. I always want to hear it more but never find it. :
جيد جدا وفقك الله
I like 3
omg, what's the name of the typography? D:
Sir, I am from Pakistan and i like the way you teach big fan of you, sir, I have a problem when I design a cv or letterhead and go to export save as jpeg and save it when I print letterhead or cv content is blur it looks low quality could you tell me for print how to save properly Thank you very much
Agree 3
Slight Changes made a lot Difference in it.
3 with the ball in the "T" off
This video is really good but something is wrong with the audio , i m wearing headphones and there is buzz sound only in my right side , it feels like i had a bug in my ears i got really scared
sometimes we screw up on the audio.
@@TheFuturAcademy damm is this Cris do u are such an inspiration
number 3
wow
