Love, love, love! Just did a logo today with canva!
Thank you so much! đđ¤đ¸
Thank you for this!! Im starting my a business and this is so helpful!
Best one I have seen thus far. Thank you for being concise, clear, and keeping it simple and effective!
Such a pleasure! Thank you for being here :)
This was crazy helpful Jacqui. I appreciate the advice, this made creating my logo a breeze!!! The tip for the SVP and the resizing was gold.
My pleasure Brandon!!! Thanks for watching :)
Great explanation! I'm thankfull. Regards from Mexico.đâ¤
This was GREAT!!! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much - very helpful!
This is very informative, thank you very much.â¤â¤
Such a pleasure! Thanks for watching đ
Thank you for the info đĽ°
Your tutorial was so easy to follow!đThank you so much. ⤠I have my first Canva Logo. đ Now I just have to add variations. đđ
Good job!! Thrilled to help! Thanks for watching :)
This is so helpful. It has taken me years to explain this to my graphic artist.
So glad to hear that Jaki!! Thank you xx
thank you đ
Thanks for sharing
very helpfull, thank you jacqui. do you work also with other countries?
Yep! I have people all over the world partake in my course :)
This is great and helpful information I want use a microphone from canva is this considered someone elses
Unfortunately yes, something specific like a microphone will be someone elseâs. You CAN use it.. just means itâs not unique to you and canât be copyrighted/trademarked in the future
I was wondering about Canva logo, that you and someone else may use the same template. I did use one and saved it as a PNG, Cricut Design Space told me that the resolution (wasnât exactly the word they used) was not great, I didnât understand how they can say that when I used a Canva template, however, it printed horrible and I was still baffled until I came across your video. Thank you so very much!
So glad this was able to help!! :)
Thanks for all your tips! Gave me new ideas on how to use my logo đđđ
My logo predates Canva (made the original in 2007, put the hat on in 2013) đ I made it in a vector program (Xara) that my sister owned and used for her clients.
Because in that time faxes were still being sent, I even have a version without colour.
While watching your video, I realised that it in no way 'follows' your design rules đ¤
But I still love it - it literally made me money and it's very recognisable in a weird way: people refer to it as "that purple elephant". That's mainly, but not exclusively, because of the companyname that goes with the original one: (translated) The Purple Elephant. Funny how the mind works. đ
Long story short: I'm aware of the limitations of my logo. But for me the pros still outway the cons big time â¤
Thereâs something to be said about a logo that people recognise!! If itâs still working for you thereâs no need to change it! đ
how do you draw and make digitally have your logo
Thanks. Can we use Canva fonts for our logo?
Yes I believe so :) you just wouldnât be able to trademark if your logo was ONLY text with no customisation.
You can use any of the fonts available. If you have pro, you can also use those too. Source: I asked canva support.
What I really need to know is how to make eight different design elements in my logo One Design element so that I can add it to a business letter without the logo becoming the design that I'm trying to put the logo on so I can try to get my business off the ground. I hope that makes sense. Every time I tried to add my logo to the top of a business letter the logo becomes the business letter like it becomes the entire it completely replaces my design and I don't understand why this is happening. I am not a graphic designer I just have a canva pro account and I am using Canva AI to make designs.
I tried to upload my SVG file to Instagram, but looks like they only allow jpg and png. So I uploaded a png, but it's blurry when I zoom in. Do you have this problem too?
Yes, save SVGs for inside canva use then export as png or jpg for social media. Blurry images are usually caused if the canva file is too small (although zooming in isnât a common thing people do on Instagram). Try making your canva design at least 1080px wide
what font is used in the ISLAND VILLAGE?
Bright
How and where do we find elements to use instead of the icons in CANVA?
When I teach my students this I focus on helping them create their own unique icon using canva shapes, draw tool or even sketching their own and uploading :)

what's cat dunn's font called?
It's part of the TAN font collection on Canva :)
Can claim elements as my branding logo? is it copyrighted free?
Are you asking if you can use Canva elements in your logo? Technically you can however itâs never going to be uniquely yours, able to claim full copyright yourself or trademark it.
@@jacquinaunton Yes, Ex: TS logo from Canva Elements. Good to know!
We can't use elements because obviously someone else created them, but what about fonts? Can we use them or we can't?
Yep :) you can use fonts. However I wouldnât recommend your whole logo being just a word. Ie. Pair it with an icon or customise the word/text somehow to ensure itâs unique.
Thankyou!
When I want to use canva online, it always doesn´t work properly. There are alway connection issues.
Sorry to hear that! Thatâs the trouble with an online program - it really does only work well if your internet connection is really stable.
I always find it hard to use on road trips and out on trips because of this too
Hello, how can I become your student?
Hello! :) youâre welcome to join my course at any time! www.diydesignmybiz.com. Hope to see you inside!
I'm in desperate need of logo and branding for a jewelry business. I stay awake at night with stress. I thought Canva would work, I can't pay $1000. any advice?
Canva can absolutely work - just making sure you follow the tips in this video :) Or if you want more step-by-step guidance you can join my DIY course (on sale it's around $460 USD). It really depends on how you want your jewelry biz to be perceived - if you you don't mind starting off with a more amateur look, or you want to hit the ground running with a strong professional brand
You can do this in Canva dear...just watch some youtube tutorials?
Hi! For research purpose, if you're desperate but can't pay 1k, how much are you willing to spend? Or would you rather not spend at all?
$1000 for a logo? Damn
From Canva website:
What kinds of products am I allowed to sell?
Canvaâs Content License Agreement does allow you to use both Canva Free and Pro Content to design and sell a range of products (see section 5 of the Content License Agreement) such as:
e-books and magazines;
templates;
posters, mugs, t-shirts, stickers, and other printed products.
Canvaâs Content License Agreement does not allow you to use Free or Pro Content to design and sell your own stock content (for example, clipart files). If you want to sell stock content, you need to create your own designs from scratch.
You should add time stamps
I really should! Iâm still learning how to do everything and have been putting learning how to timestamp off đ Iâll do this today - thanks for the nudge :)
There is no point in having canva then.
whats canver
Canva is a free online design program :) www.canva.com
I was picking on your accent lol @@jacquinaunton
Bahaha! :P I was a bit suprised someone who didn't know about Canva would even watch this video đ@@Promptshot
@@jacquinaunton đ¤Łđ¤Ł btw the video was helpful. I was over complicating things a lot with my designs.
Thrilled to hear it!! It's easy to get caught up in that
@@Promptshot
(((((Jacqui))))) your actually speaking to me aren't you????? lol!!!!!! My issue is I am actually not selling or making anything yet....that is why I tried to make my logo in Canva, ;-/
Hehe hey Mel!! Definitely not bad to make it in Canva! Just gotta keep a few things in mind first đ
If you speak just a little bit faster it is completely impossible to understand you.
Some viewers find slowing the playback speed of the video down to .75x helpful :)
