Nothing that suggest "electricity" in the logo?
Will Paterson what type pencil do you use?
+Daniel He has a video on that
Ransey J can you give me the link pls?
Will Paterson Hey, Will. Do you ever plan to make not AI tutorials but in Photoshop, i mean, it doesnt't have the functionality of AI nevertheless it would be nice to see how you handle it)
For me "gettin the idea" IS the hardest part. Fleshing it out is easy.
I try to always have one.
silveravnt I have the same problem, and whenever I draw in my sketch book I always draw random things ..💔
3:43
I’m the opposite. I can vaguely see the idea in my mind but translating that to something “tangible” is a different story.
@@rorisxng I think that makes you a "designer" and me just an "artists".
Whats your hair design process?
hahahahahha
i was just coming to say how great his hair was too. :-)
Lmao. Trolling level 1000
hahahahahahaha!!!
lmao! 😄
The hardest part is not designing logo, but why you design it, strategy behind it & the idea strategic behind the visual.
@Idea Headed like!!!!!
YEP !! because you have to explain all that to your client .
Thank you for this video! I'm attempting to make a logo for my start up business and the first version I created wasn't what I wanted it to be. After watching this, I have a much better understanding of the logo creating process and am very excited to take another try at it! Great video! Especially for 4 years ago!
Not too sure why some people are being salty about this video. I mean, you do know that the logo design process is similar with all designers right?
Anyhow, hope you all enjoy video!
weeniebutt23 There are a lot of people that don't understand the video. The video is all about executing ideas for a logo for those who want to know a process. This is obviously not my full logo design process!
Thanks for the support dude, it's nice to see :)
Rhys gets it.
Although it is pointless arguing with an idiot, they'll never admit to their wrong doing.
I can't stand the guy, it's hard to watch. He's siding with a guy who's commented 'they probs just are noobs' I think that says it all.
Oh no of course not, what an unreasonable assumption that would be. Sighhh
Thank you Ed... Ed Sheeran.
No. This is his brother Will.
hahahahaha
Thought I was the only one who saw that lol
He's somewhere in between Ed Sheeran and James Corden.
He more looks like James Arthur to me LOL
Will Paterson - some video suggestions if you haven't already made them - rather than a critique, how about discussing sort of key points on what you look for that makes a logo good vs bad? Also, how about a video discussing the challenges of clients that challenge you? (as in don't have a trained eye but want to dissect your work). Just things I think would be interesting to hear your perspective on.

Hi please is there anywhere i could get the book as a pdf?
thank you, to design logos is it necessary to have adobe Illustrator or can you create just as good logos using Photoshop?
nice vid (: i love how many ppl comment on ur hair lol
Hey Will,
I've been tasked to rebrand an organization, and your videos help out incredibly! Just wanted to say thanks!
Well good luck. May I ask which one.
What logo graphic design software do you reccomend for a chromebook
Nice process you have i love that you don't rely on pinterest or other standard places where people normally go for inspiration 😊
I enjoyed the fact that such simplicity can be so effective - thanks Will.
Thanks! :D
Hello! I was wondering how do you do when it comes to making a "Brand Guidelines" for a logo, what lineaments you follow, basically how you do it. I hope this is not too much trouble.
Thank you for making all this excellent videos! :D
"I love BIG FAT logo design"
love you Will ♥
Farshid Persia haha love you too!
These are exactly the thoughts that go through my head when designing cars / logos.
Blowin' up man! Was watching your stuff when you'd get just a few hundred views haha. Cream rises brotha. Continued success!
I bought this book thanks to your advice. It's an amazing book and I suggest every designer own this.
Good video, stay strong, keep going and you will make it far :]
And thankyou to provide royalty free music for small creators to use!
I really love these kind of "abstract" or geometric logo's. Even making them is so much fun, but its actually not easy to make them to be usefull. I mean, they still have to somehow point to the topic, or company, or feeling it wants to express and i have to tell you a LOT of people and costumers dont see what they should in them, (and lets skip the part where you say "make it better you are just bad", that can be a part of it yes) . And thats just 1 thing, the other is : They dont believe in them, or how much skill it requires to make a good one. So they are going to be reluctant to buy it...especially from a beginner designer....any tips on this? Should i just keep making non abstract ones for years, just because it sells better?
Thanks for watching! Comment your questions below.
nc!~
Will Paterson Nice video enjoyed the process from paper to digitising the logo. also when is your next logo critique video
Will Paterson awsome video.. waiting for this since long..
My ques. is you do your freelancing work on upwork or fiverr or or any other platform?
if yes then how did u started getting your 1st client?
please tell me as i am not getting my first work as a freelancer
Will Paterson . Hey, I am huge fan of your work. I am a computer application student from India, I was always into design but never really had the chance to pursue it. I never could afford the Adobe softwares nor the technical requirements to run them.But recently I was introduced to inkscape, an open source alternative to illustrater . Can you do a video on what you feel about inkscape and how far you think I can go with it?
I like it 😘😍
you don't know how much my new starting company logo got improved after seeing this video.........tnx very much
How do you do that in Photoshop if you don't have your programme? Can you recommend any videos for a total newby trying to make a logo please?
What fonts do you use and/or do you provide a font pack? I know you sketch and design a lot of your own written logo's etc.. but do you have any nice ones like the one used in this video available?
Could someone please tell me how to get the background in illustrator from simply white to like you have it in your video please.
now i know how to rebrand the great CCCP's hammer and sickle... good
That book of black and white graphic designs that is in the preview- does anyone know what this book is called? Thanks.
Can i get the link . where can i buy the book you are use sample logos ..?
i hope , thank you .
Thanks for the recommendation dude, just used the link to order a copy of the book from Amazon!
Same
Nice to see Dansky here.
how can i download logo modernism book?
Thank you! This VDO is very useful!
May I ask what fonts is "ELECTROMASS" on the VDO? Thank you
Hi Will, could you share your grid size preference from the settings please at all I like the size of the grid used in this video.
Remember guys you need to use a really tiny notepad, the tinier the better.
Why? I thought the opposite
But only if you are working in your studio, when you are out in the field you want to bring as big a pad as you can carry.
@@86Corvus Uhh.. What's wrong with using Illustrator?
@@Hydrotoxic its only a good program if you pirate it
@@86Corvus illustrator is the best for logos
what keys did you use for outline mode and to get the grid?
Funny thing is I see "C BAR" in the background and that is a shortening for my local high school in Jamaica. You got a double thumbs up for that.
How can i get a book like your book for logos inspiration?
Ok, now I know that “Logo Modernism” Taschen’s book is to buy :)
Generally you could create a video on BOOKS on that subject which you recommend for future designers.
My first thought was a UK three-pin plug, at a jaunty angle with the live and neutral pins representing the upper and lower bars of the 'E' and the earth pin representing the centre bar of the 'E'. The body of the plug represents the back of the 'E'... The jaunty angle allows the middle bar to be a bit shorter than the other two bars. Also, everyone knows what a plug looks like and associates it immediately with electricity. A second plug rotated through 90 deg could represent an 'M' for the metering part.
Great video, it's always important to emphasise the importance of drawing (no pun intended) from the words and associated terms and phrases of the company.
Where was the "to finish"-part in this video?
if Im creating a portfolio for uni would it be acceptable to make up a brand and do this sort of thing or would they not like it?
Hopefully this answer isn't too late, but I wanted to share some advice I have for Uni-Portfolios. I actually tried 2 times to get into the Uni of my choice. My Uni actually gave us the advice, to only show hand-drawn stuff, to get accepted. I'm quite ok in drawing, but I mean, I want to study graphic design, so it was kind of hard for me, to only draw things. I reached in my portfolio and I failed. It wasn't a big surprise, there were around 200 people and only 30 get accepted. The second time I thought to myself, I will risk something and actually show, what I think I'm good at, and this isn't drawing. So I re-designed some Movie-Posters and my hand-drawn-pictures were when I scribbled down some ideas for my graphics, designed a book for children, some corporate design, etc. This time I got accepted and it thougt me, to take a risk sometimes. What I want to say: When you think you burn for logo design, than go for it and make up a brand. But make sure, to show a wide variety of your skills. Good luck with your portfolio!
what font is electromass typed in?
Thanks for the video. After watching this I bought the book off ebay, it's great
How can I get the different icon book that you use?
What is the name of the ABC styles book you referenced for the "e" logo?
Thank you for this video! Short, detailed and straight to the point! Im from the US and wanted to know if there's a way to get your book! Please let me know!
I love your videos as much as I love your designs. You've helped me a lot.. YOU'RE AMAZING
Hi, do you actually work with your mouse or with a tablet in Illustrator? :-)
Chris YT a tablet of course
@@adelante2171 a tablet of course? since when tablets became the norm? Newbies...
Can I please have the link for the book: "Logo Modernism"
Useful toturial!
So if you're working on a much more complex logo is the process still the same just taking alot longer?
I'm leaning this in TAFE course that I'm doing and having more information before I go back would be good
8:05 Why did you cut the part where you cut the 3 lines to make it like they're cut? x) what tool did you use?
Did you change the line as white or there's a tool to crop things out? (I'm a noob so ^^')
THANK YOU WILL for everything!! what is the name of the little notebook you show us? the one with the moon?? MERCI from Paris
Hi Will can you please create any video or give any reference about grid system in logo design.not about a particular logo about any logo. Thanks.

What's a logo book name are u using
Nice video Will. Thanks also for the ref of the book =) I was wondering how do you make the grid and the magnetism appear ?
Hi man, you have great tuttorial :"> , could you send me where you bought that book. Thank you so much.
Thank you for you Precious time, and bring secrets of start to finish, i learn alot from this video right place....
@Will Paterson what is your advice for the beginners who wants to be a great graphic designer?
How did you have motion blur with your cursor there??
Good Day sir, I want to ask what do called that note book that has a small dots and if there is any free download PDF or PSD file for that, Thank you so much sir
Look up the following on the site www.aliexpress.com : MUJI-PP-Cover-Dot-Grid-Notebook-A6-B6-A5-90-Sheets-Japan or any other site its a dotted grid is what you're looking for I find Aliexpress great on pricing.
Thank you Will. I am a bit new to this so wish me luck.
The idea I got pretty fast was a lower case "e" end at the end have the plug. Like the e is made out of wire with the plug at the end
Thanks for sharing, perfect explanation about logo designing process.
Why not take the three line E you made and use those lines as pins on a plug socket? The middle line that's shorter reminds me of the three-pin plug in UK standards.
How do you know if your design doesn't look like another one and get in trouble for copyright?
Great video, Will! Keep it up!
Hey Will, in your opinion whats the difference in value to employers/customers between designers with a Bachelors, Assosciates, Certificate, and Self-Taught? Do they care? What are advantages and disadvantages of each category?
Thanks.
I am a complete amateur icon designer (I’m a BI analyst and reporting content manager). I’ve been using PowerPoint (*hangs his head in shame*) since 2010 to create icons for SharePoint and Confluence sites to access reporting assets. I really enjoyed watching your creative process! I subscribed to your channel so I’ll be back to check out more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Where i can find or buy this book?
Out of curiosity, if someone wanted to incorporate an animal design into their logo, how would you address that? And would it be unusual to have two logos, one that is more detailed for say a website, and one that is more simplified for letterheads or business cards? I'm trying to design for my business and the name suggests whimsy and is rather long. Dancing Fox Spiritual Services.
This was brilliant, thank you.
Great tutorial of the process thank you so much Will!
anyone found the note book somewhere? it looks extremely useful and i cant find it anywhere.
