How To Find Logo Design Ideas:
Hello everyone, welcome back, many of you asked me,
how to find logo design ideas, it was really a hard question
to answer, because I can’t teach you creativity, but there is
some methods that help you get creative and come up
with great logo design concepts.
So today, I am going to walk you through the process of
designing a logo, but I will concentrate on the thinking
behind the design part.
Generating Logo Design Ideas:
In order to generate great logo design ideas, you have to put in the time into the thinking behind the design, it’s a whole process, if you follow it, you will be in good position to come up with good ideas, that works as great solution for the client’s problem.
Creative Brief:
To start the thinking process, you have to collect every
information needed of your client, and this can easily done
by creating a creative brief, It’s a simple document you
send to your client, that ask thoughtful questions about the
client and his business, in order to gather specific
information about the project, and to define your client’s
expectations.
Analyze brief, discover & research business competitors and target audience.
Mindmapping:
After sending the creative brief documentto the client,
he will respond with the information needed.
The company name is Royal Veggies Transport.
The client wanted something elegant and classy, at the
same time the logo needs to reflect the veggies aspect.
To achieve that, we will use the logo’s main keywords to
extract some unexpected ideas, that is what we call mind
mapping.
Mind mapping is the creation of a visual representation of
the words related to the main topic, then finding other
associations to these words, in order to generate creative
logo ideas.
Words Association:
After The mind mapping phase, I make separated lists,
each main word with its associations.
then I take off the words that I find inconvenient to the
project, then I make some combinations of three words,
one word from each list, so I can get some unexpected
ideas for the logo .
Sketching
Saul Bass said, Design is thinking made visual.
So after all the thinking and the research process it’s time
transform that into a visual.
So, these are the combinations of the word that I extracted
from the Mind Mapping and the word Associations.
To attend the right solution for your logo, you have to
execute all the combinations, then you filter them and the
stronger survive.
I will walk you through the execution of one combination,
which is, Carrot, Crown, Wings.
Putting in mind all the information that I collected before, I
will start by sketching.
It doesn’t require being precise when sketching, it’s only
about capturing the essence of the idea.
In fact, anyone can draw, as I showed you before in the
mood board I collected some Images, I will use it as
reference, if you don’t know how to draw a carrot, look at
a photo of a carrot, and try to do the same thing with
simpler form.
Thank You!!!

lol
@@VirtualMusicable hahaahhahahaahah xD
xD
Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
i wish my teachers would teach like you. Sometimes i'm thinking i just wasted my time and money in school
actually my prof just taught this to us lol
agree with you, most of our lectures didn't have working experience. they just research before they teach us. I'm glad people like this guy helping us online
Satish Pabari true 😂😂😂
Yes, i wish
Feel you dude.
Really this is one of the best video tutorial I have ever seen on Adobe illustrator. His narration in clear accent of English as well as the process to discover the innovative idea to create a new logo for his clients deserves high applaud. Thank you very much. I have benefited.
woww just amazing my teacher say same things and now a days ,when we are started online classes he send us your video, it's very very helpful , thank you
If you are a teacher then you are a really good one! No wonder people find your videos fascinating! From many graphic design videos, you truly guide your viewers through the design process. Not just some show off.
I come home to find a video from you, I know I’m just going to be blown away by your teaching and logo design skills! Thanks so much for making this, you’ve been a huge help to me, and I’m sure everyone else who’s watched any of your videos! Looking forward to what you have planned for the next video!
Oh, thank you so much Ezzy, I really appreciate your kind words, I am so happy to help :)
Mohamed Achraf just a follow up, do you recommend any other CZcams channels like yours that may be helpful to me? I wanna learn as much as I can! If not, it’s totally ok. Just kinda impatient for knowledge :)
What I got was the transforming the client information into actual object. Brilliant
I was struggling to find a logo for myself to start as a new logo designer to a point where I questionned whether I'm creative enough for it, but after using your method I was able to create 3 different concepts in a very short period of time, thank you
I’ve founded your channel today, and I have to say: I LOVE YOU!!!
I’ve learned more today, than 4 months in Next_U.
You are clear, clear and specific!!!
Tks for share your knowledges!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇴
Masha Allah. I've looked into different channels and for me your logo tutorial is the best!
Thanks a lot, I gathered a lot of how to imagine, think, and visualize a logo from your well described video, thanks once again, it has been a great pleasure.
The birds chirping in the background adds an unsung heroes touch to this. So peaceful.
Amazing as always Mohamed. Im attending Graphic Design university and your videos help so much more than the teachers there. As I am new to most of my university's work Im very happy that I found your channel.
The most particular segment of the video was the "Mind Mapping" laying out words that associate with the clients request then deleting the ones that aren't usable really puts things on perspective of what you need to do for them. Much support
agreed
Hi, I am really happy that you find my videos helpful, I will make more videos about monograms, there is some basic info you will get it from university, but to be successful in graphic design, it has to be your passion you have to enjoy doing it and learning it, try your best to get the most from your teachers, and master your craft by learning online and practice everyday.
Thank you
Yes the internet will guide us :D. tbh ive been learning more from these videos then the 5 weeks ive been to uni.
Bird voices in background is feel very nice,❤
oh... legit thought that was outside.

For a 10-minute video, this is gold. Thanks!
just decided to get into Graphic Design and generating an idea for beginners like is challenging but this video has encourage so and set my mine OPEN. THANK YOU.
How far you made it ?
Dear Mohamed. I am watching your videos from the beginning and I am totally thrilled about every new video that you make. For sure there is a reason to watch your videos as I am trying to create my first company logo based on your lessons. I am still far away from a logo that I like, but every new video brings some lights to the shades. If you ever search for an existing example that you can use for your videos I can help :D as I am still clueless about the important igredients that helps to make my logo outstanding ... Thanks for all your hard work. Keep going on.
Glad to know that and I hope you get to the right one soon, I don't really need an existing example andvI don't do free work neither
Thank you
I'm in the same process! Mohamed will make we richies!! haha

The way you used keywords was actually pretty smart. Never used it that way but seems very easy.
Is It maybe a idea for a new series to rate the logos people make and give tips on how to improve. Kinda what Will Paterson does.

Mind blowing Sir🔥
A little tip:
You can press the "O" key and pull the shape to the side with the cursor, to create a mirror image of half of the crown, instead of copying with alt > transform > reflect > vertical > ok :)
He probably knows just teaching us beginner folks out there :)
This was fantastic to watch, I have learned some valuable tips! Thanks for making this tutorial!
