Ooh just missed the stream! But thanks for critiquing my logo!(the outsiders Handlettering one) Funny fact that it is actually “Outsiders” and not “outsider” haha when I submitted i probably forgot the “s” so my bad! Still served as a great case study for that fact anyway! And the solution for the for the T and the i was really well thought! Another great livestream guys!!
Great job Miguel! I was literally just watching them critique yours in Photoshop and was going to comment about the "Tiddle comment" lolol! I naturally kept reading your submission title with an "s", so I was wondering if it was a mistake somewhere. I agree though, it was still a good tip on how to revise the S. Thanks for posting this live stream @The Futur ! I always love learning from the critiques. :) Now I'm going to have to go back and watch the Draplin episode!
It is always a pleasure to hear you guys and see all these different sensibilities and points of view within the team, but one thing that blows me away is Chris' eagle eye and clear thinking. I have been a designer for 25 years and you say things in a clear manner like I never heard before. Keep it up!
I only recently Started with Logo Designing , I Usually Start by getting a good Idea , the kind of role playing Business man and client . Afterwards I go and plan everything out , do drawings , expand , and a lot of the times I have to do this process a lot . But since I've been watching The Futur videos I have gotten a lot more to work with , I found it easier to do certain things and I started making my designs less complicated and more simple . All thanks to you !! you are all awesome !
It's so good that you guys translates your thoughts to a language that people can understand, just awesome! From 30:43 to 31:11, for me, was the best advice ever (much needed for a beginner like me :D).
It is always entertaining to watch the logo critique videos. The highlight is when you start to think along the same lines as Chris, although it doesn't happen very often. Great video and I always learn something.
The Futur I think you should do both, sometimes a fast critique and sometimes the more in depth ones. I personally like when you go in an modify the logos because it helps me think in new directions! I'm learning more from that. Great show as always!
Totally bummed to know Chris was in the Philippines for Graphika Manila 2018. I took up Information Design in college but put graphics aside to do retail marketing instead (more design as problem solving than aesthetics). I started brushing up on graphic design again a few weeks ago and The Futur has helped TREMENDOUSLY. And I missed Chris by just a few weeks. Boo. Graphika Manila 2019, maybe? Saw that Jelvin has a little survey/petition to get Chris back here to teach too!
Anyone else noticing that the first logo looks like it's smiling, while the slogan is Delivering Happiness. That made my smile. I realises the plug and socket afterwards, but the first thing I noticed was the B and the smiley face.
Am glaf you picked that up, normally people say the plug first, then the negative space B and finally they would see the smiley face, some ppl don't even see it, so am glad you did 👏🏻
Thanks for critiquing my logo! (Chef's Choice) Too bad i missed the live stream! Just a suggestion, maybe tell the designers they are gonna be featured beforehand? I would be more than willing to participate.
Thank you so much for the valuable content, I personally learned more from the slower paced videos, but I understand that you are creating new videos with a different direction in mind...
Thanks for including me in the crit, your opinion is highly appreciated!!!! Sorry I missed the live stream. Thanks for the great content, you guys are inspiring!!!
That Ice Cube refrence haha! I thought you're cool for this channel and your design expertise, I thought you were even cooler when you said you like UFC, now I think you're the coolest guy I never met. Awesome video guys!
Just asking out of curiosity, when will you guys make design crit again? I love these kind of series because i have some designs, and I need professionals to rate you know what is needed to be improve in... Because i feel like i'm stuck right now! Thank you! You guys are the best!
Given that the company is for driverless cars, I believe the pronunciation at 30:02 is supposed to be like autonomy (where the "e" at the end is a hard "e" not a silent one), not auto-noam.
The “book” mark in bookworm could have incorporated more of a B form in the right hand lines maybe with 2 loops or in negative space. The starting point of the line at the top may need to start in a different place. The Pho chopsticks might read better if they were tapered
These episodes are great, more logo critiques! Possibly even some layout (editorial) and illustration critiques? Think these are more helpful than anything else.
Think the i on that Paper Clip logo should've been converted to uppercase to remove the tittle. That stood out as being out of place and odd to me. Also would've used a more condensed typeface with even rounder counters (i.e. Mensch light etc.) but you guys/Jelvin were definitely headed in the right direction. It's always fun for me when I'm watching and you guys say exactly what I'm thinking.
Think becoming a sustaining member might be a good idea, it's only a coffee and a half ;) Nice choices there too Jelvin, keep working with Photoshop and Illustrator to get your speed up a little, good stuff though :)
The first logo looks alot like / uses the same concept as "ed's electric" logo which can be seen on alot of the logo inspiration site. I guess it opens the old age question of how much do you need to change something up to be considered original.
So happy to get more ideas for the paper clip logo guys! Thanks Futur and everyone who participated. It was a descriptive pair project for school and this design was the top in the class, however I am always looking for input to improve my design skills.
@The Futur Sorry for the lack of punctuation. Let's blame it on my lack of English grammar knowledge. Thanks for the feedback. It's greatly appretiated. -Lilian Figueroa
Does anyone know where can I buy the Pricing Creativity book by Blair Enns? I can't find it on Amazon. I only found it as an ebook on a different website. I live in Europe, so an European website will be better (cost-wise).
How can it be cold with all those reflectors in your face? :P You do realize that we as a designers can kinda see thru the cheap charade. Focus on the content not on the complexes from youth trying to come out. Were you not loved enough so you are compensating now? Or do you just think that we can be charmed into this channel with your "impressive" appearance and self promotion of self appointed grandness? What happen to kindness and humbleness? Is this like an Apple technique, we should all just be sheaps? And next time if you are going to wear a hat please also wear a snorkeling googles also, they are both equally pointless indoor, and they do not look good either, but at least the googles would be fun for us :) I am not trying to be a hater, but this has to be sed! Thanks and all the best
The point is to choose A certain cluster of strong dudes to successfully crowd-surf or if not planned right could have you jumping at A group of scary girls who all just move out of your way before hitting the cement floor. Ouch lol
You can't ruin the form of the trident by moving the top and bottom lines. Then it won't look like a trident anymore, the syllable breakup is negligible in that design.
I've always liked when designers approach subject matter from another perspective. The act of reducing the lion to a silly, cute creature actually helps to create a point of difference. This brand to me looks down-to-earth and playful, which would be totally changed if the designer had played into the majesty of the lion.

you are making progress then! play along as usual and hit pause before i open my mouth. then hit play and score yourself.
The Futur Great idea, I will do that.
Amazing viewpoints!!!!!
I love the way Chris fixes this cat to play the tiddle!
Very valuable video!
Go go Thefutur!!!!!!!!!!
Love you guys.
Thank you
NEW PROUD SUSTAINING MEMBER!! How could I not? You guys have helped me get so much better!
Appreciate it!
Thanks for taking the time to critique my work! Typography has definitely been my weak point and something to work on
You are very welcome!
I love this new format! Much faster, much more logos and great quality!! Plus, we're still learning a lot ;)
good. we'll stick to this next time.
The Futur I think you should do both, sometimes a fast critique and sometimes the more in depth ones. I personally like when you go in an modify the logos because it helps me think in new directions! I'm learning more from that. Great show as always!
Thanks for this Chris - please keep going with the critiques as it helps us all understand why things work and why things don't - super helpful mate!

Much love from Guatemala, Central America

Such an inspiration! And her voice is so soothing
Thanks for critiquing my logo! (Chef's Choice)
Too bad i missed the live stream! Just a suggestion, maybe tell the designers they are gonna be featured beforehand? I would be more than willing to participate.
it's too hard to coordinate.
I wish they still did stuff like this
Delighted to see another logo critique! good work guys, sorry I didn't catch it live.

thanks Haris. I'm always throwing around pop culture references. I know many, cause I'm old like that.
Ahhh, now this is going to be FUN! Never seen this done before on RUclips 👏 And Europe? I'm so jealous😜 but hope you have the time of your life👍 👍
Just asking out of curiosity, when will you guys make design crit again? I love these kind of series because i have some designs, and I need professionals to rate you know what is needed to be improve in... Because i feel like i'm stuck right now! Thank you! You guys are the best!

@@thefutur Thank you so much! How can i submit my design to you guys?? I'm so excited!
check our FB page.
Yay! I am sustaining member number 2! So grateful for the book. Thanks #thefutur ~ sending positive vibes from Amsterdam
Given that the company is for driverless cars, I believe the pronunciation at 30:02 is supposed to be like autonomy (where the "e" at the end is a hard "e" not a silent one), not auto-noam.
I am listening to the theme song again and again to recharge me! Nice music.
you OWNED that paper clip logo!!
I feel like the Trident logo had shorter bars on the top and bottom to subtly make it look like a trident... or is it just me? haha
You're right
i agree looks like a trident.... think some general knowledge would be cool for the futur team
You made me love design again.
yessss!!!
Love the Mirley logo gold and black is an awesome color palette
Just seeing Chris gives positive energy somehow
The “book” mark in bookworm could have incorporated more of a B form in the right hand lines maybe with 2 loops or in negative space. The starting point of the line at the top may need to start in a different place.

These episodes are great, more logo critiques! Possibly even some layout (editorial) and illustration critiques? Think these are more helpful than anything else.
yep. we'll do more type crits soon.
Is there some Logo therapy episode where you talk about colours? Would be great to see!
Congrats from your fan here in Brazil!
great one
Couldn't catch it live but I greatly appreciate the shoutout at 1:11:13 !
Love this live stream! Someday I might gain the courage to do my own!!
Graphic Design How To you should totally do it! Are you going to Max this year?
The Futur I’m not sure - I’m going to try. But if they don’t ask me to speak, it is pretty expensive!! Are you?
I am sustaining member number 1 🙌🏻
introfy congrats!!
The Futur thank you 😊
awesome as always
Well Done, great job guys
Faheem Baig thanks.
The Futur you r Welcome Sir, one day I will join in logo critique live stream.. wish you best of luck.

It's always fun for me when I'm watching and you guys say exactly what I'm thinking.
He could've even used pieces of the C to make the A/top of the paper clip. That way the shapes are 100% consistent.
Nice always love these ones, cheers guys!
i absolutely love your channel , keep it up chris :D
very helpful, thank u
This was very interesting and learned alot! Thank you @TheFutur :-)
51:16 Maybe inserting the "The" on the left side of the cup vertically could provide more balance to the overall design. Looks great though!
Mistaking honesty for rudeness is so true! Honest Chris! Love your content
Think becoming a sustaining member might be a good idea, it's only a coffee and a half ;) Nice choices there too Jelvin, keep working with Photoshop and Illustrator to get your speed up a little, good stuff though :)
Hey guys! thanks for your advice!
You're very welcome! consider becoming a sustaining member (if not already)
Oh nice!
I really like the constructive criticism you've done on some of these. Also, where do we apply for the next logo critique show? :)
on our FB page.
much love from PH to the futur. Yo the #1
The first logo looks alot like / uses the same concept as "ed's electric" logo which can be seen on alot of the logo inspiration site. I guess it opens the old age question of how much do you need to change something up to be considered original.
Haha, reminds me. Stealing from one source is copying and stealing from many sources is research from Austin kleon
28:25
That’s literally one of the first things I noticed in this episode. 😂 keep exploring!
I just call it like I see it. #laundyday
The hands, Chris, great, the animation
Edwin Lottum huh?
you know , doing this wild swinging with your hands and arms, speaking with your body, like the Italians, thats great...
It powers it up......keep in mind i am Dutch , my englisch is not 100 PROcent
I'm trying to keep it interesting and not just a talking head.
So happy to get more ideas for the paper clip logo guys! Thanks Futur and everyone who participated. It was a descriptive pair project for school and this design was the top in the class, however I am always looking for input to improve my design skills.
glad you found it helpful.
Love watching these streams, is it usually announced on Facebook when you're taking submissions for logos?
yes. only on FB. make sure to follow our page.
what the. Haydunn???
Jelvin is the bomb
johan terzis he was awesome.
good guiders
Thanks for the session. Are there requirements on how the logos are being selected for the critique?
Jun Wu no requirements.
Cool episode, very good rhythm 👍🏻
thanks Peleg
@The Futur Sorry for the lack of punctuation. Let's blame it on my lack of English grammar knowledge. Thanks for the feedback. It's greatly appretiated.
-Lilian Figueroa
no problem. ;)
Will you be heading to the UK? Need to hit up Bristol! 🤘🏻
march 3. london.
I like it when Chris goes on tirades
you do? is this one of them?
@@thefutur "IT MUST BE LEGIBLE"
It's burned into my brain now.
What if you turn the T at the end of Japh's Connet into a cross? Because it is a media department for a christian church? Or is that too on the nose?
Are you the visiting artist on calarts?
I did a few days at a workshop years ago.
@@thefutur awesome, so thats why your name was so familiar, your name was on a poster on a critique course on coursera.
Hello there [FULLNAME]!! Love your video💕💕

$5 bucks for this gold!! I signed up Hella Quick!
Chris Garcia we appreciate it.
Great video! How do I get my logo critiqued?
wait for the next one. go to our FB page.
The Futur awesome, thank you
Yeah. I too think Chris went soft on this one. :D
0_dimensions soft huh?
We love the heartless Chris much more :)
36:19 Nice modification bro... 👍👍👍👌
thanks!
Why is the logo design for the "A" making me think one person works the loom!?
How to we submit stuff for critique?
FB page James. check it.
go hard chris
always. except, when there's no reason to.
if you do not have a scarf and a hat indoors you are not a designer!
haha. if you say so. it's cold.
How can it be cold with all those reflectors in your face? :P
You do realize that we as a designers can kinda see thru the cheap charade. Focus on the content not on the complexes from youth trying to come out.

Thanks and all the best
Sandi Caranovic you must be new to the show.
This channel has almost 250k subscribers who all failed to see the real purpose of the channel which is getting fashion advice from random people.
It would seem so apparently :)
Make a new logo critique again please
check out the new series. logo therapy.
When is the next one of these??
once i finish up w/ travel. maybe in 3-4 weeks.
OH. MY. BOI. Someone from the Ph? Oh My 🇵🇭
yep. Jelvin is awesome. we're gonna have him on more often during logo critiques like this.
The point is to choose A certain cluster of strong dudes to successfully crowd-surf or if not planned right could have you jumping at A group of scary girls who all just move out of your way before hitting the cement floor. Ouch lol
Philippines
in da house.
@chris Do, for "the grind" logo you stole my words to make the bottom flat...
great minds think a like.
THE TITLE!!!!!
nothingbut but what’s wrong?
oh sorry, nothing wrong : ). just saying chris is really excited about rolling the title lol
well done, keep the critique coming! awesome job.
nothingbut but I am. Hehe.
must be quite cold in the studio?
it is. brrrrr.
Does Chris think he is a rapper?
Actually I read it more like paper cup? 33:30
Do You Teach Online? Not On RUclips. Something Like Live.
USAMA USMAN we have courses. Check out academy.thefutur.com
The connect reads as cowect. I feel it is a bad design.
the bookworm logo looks like the 9gag logo
Alex Lungu its an exercise to design a logo a day.
i like chris more when he is evil on critiques
Giwrgoss1233 Nothing is good or bad it’s the thinking that makes it so.
Hey Molly please stop saying sorry ....you are not doing anything wrong
sorry. j/k. it's me chris.
You can't ruin the form of the trident by moving the top and bottom lines. Then it won't look like a trident anymore, the syllable breakup is negligible in that design.
Paypal option for donations please.
it's a limitation of the platform we are on unfortunately.
Even the R on Outsiders is wierd
I've always liked when designers approach subject matter from another perspective. The act of reducing the lion to a silly, cute creature actually helps to create a point of difference. This brand to me looks down-to-earth and playful, which would be totally changed if the designer had played into the majesty of the lion.
Thanks for sharing!
While watching I had an idea, hope it can be helpful.
It would even better to add some more logo editing to make it more illustrative. Maybe it could be done prior to the stream, bcs it takes time to edit online - as it was with Outsiders logo and it didn't look nice. But it could have looked nicer, if it had been done before the streaming. Still, the idea was clear and it was okay.

There is a designer Zimri Mayfield, ruclips.net/channel/UCbqd2YmFeHMwxlj4NcN5zPQ here's his channel.
I like watching him bcs of this editing process, but he is not streaming, just uploading the final videos.
The "si" looks like "m"
