This is what in my entire design career wanted to learn and for the first time, someone explained it so well that I am commenting in middle of this video. Thank a million.
This is gold! Thank you for sharing, it really feels like unlocking the formula to perfect logo shapes. As a graphic design student, this video absolutely blew my mind. Wish they taught us this at school. Definitely following your channel, and I love my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse. Absolutely recommend it for creative professionals! 😊
This single tutorial should have been shown in first year in Art colleges rather than a 3 hours lecture in which still we didn't know how to make a freaking simple logo 🤷
Sorry mate. Art schools are for meeting people. It's like a very expensive real live dating app. You should have studied something real and learn your craft on the side.
@@copypaste3526 dont say bs like that. many art schools have great professors who have a lot of experience and can save you from a fuck ton of struggles, with great lectures and even greater textbooks accessible to you. yes, you can meet people there and make contacts thatll ease your future life, but its far from the only thing you get from it.
you never explained the principle behind grids, it just seems like instructions for a specific logo not understanding the principle of logo design using grids
@@tech_gigs5384 yep, and most graphics-related searches today end up his or Satori graphics videos - and Satori's are worse because of the incredibly clickbaity titles. Will's at least give some insight though they often end up a waste of time for not exploring the actual title subject...
It's pretty simple, you're my mentor（graphic design). well detailed, point on point and you got me something into my brain, i am a beginner. Thank you.
I am new to Illustrator, but I am advanced with Photoshop. And yes, there is a difference and just a bit of a learning curve for Illustrator coming from Photoshop. You are by far, hands down - the utmost helpful TH-cam Illustrate user that I have found and is incredibly kind to post free tutorials, tips & tricks videos. Thank you, so so much for all of the amazing videos and tutorials that have taught me incredible amounts of invaluable knowledge. Question though, what was your "Grid" setup? Is your Grid setup standard, as in: Gridline every: 72px AND Subdivisions: 8? Thank you again for everything! - Your newest Fan! ;)
to get my grid to look like yours i first had to go into preferences>guides & grid> and then change settings to "gridline every 36 px" and make the subdivisions only 4. why not just show what hitting the preferences button looks like...
@@tomiem1386 you are a hero.... tutorials where things are not on default settings and not declared or shown is just a waste of time... despite the content is golden
Fun fact: Logitech was founded in Switzerland, in a village called APPLES. (of course, in swiss german we would not pronounce it like the english "apples", but the fact entertained me nontheless)
i learned a lot more from this one video in 12mins than from my graphics design teacher in 1 and a half years lol cool video, insanely helpful and very easy to understand! you're a lifesaver ^^
Loved the video. I noticed that in the B roll videos he’s using his tablet instead of the mouse, because of the gesture he uses to zoom in with the magnifying glass 😂 I thought it was funny, cause it’s a seamless transition.
Great video! Just note that when you shrank the icon, your stroke size didn't scale down with it (can be changed in preferences). Good video though for anyone creating logo/symbols :-)
Thanks for this video. Interesting to see different way to develop logos. It would be interesting to now if there are any special considerations to take into account when selecting a grid. Are there any special grids?
Great job thank you!! 👏 What are your grid preferences set to??? My gridline is set to 72pt and the subdivisions are 8 but they don't look like yours and I want to make sure I am following this properly 🤓
Really learned a lot from your videos and specially discovering new terms such as white spaces, negative spaces, etc. I Hope you can do more stuff on Typography and Monogram but those that looks timeless not trendy. Cheers for amazing videos.
I would love to share my work for your reviews.? Where I can share my portfolio.?. I want to learn from you what mistakes I had and what best I done on that.?
I tried to do this method in Vectornator and couldn't figure it out, do you know if it is possible to do in Vectornator or could you make a tutorial about it?
Thanks for the lesson - Awesome strategy! I have one issue though, I can't seem to work out when creating the grid. I thought my custom preferences were the culprit, but I reset them all to default and the problem still remains! Your vertical lines are perfectly centered in the circles horizontally and vertically AND you have a border all the way around. But MY grid always comes out a half of a box off. So I have to choose between centered in the circles OR have a border all the way around. I can't have both. What on earth am I doing wrong?
I read comments below and got answer to your and my problem with grid: go into preferences>guides & grid> and then change settings to "gridline every 36 px" and make the subdivisions only 4 :)
also note that for the first circle he uses 4 "retangles" (1 retangle = 4 subdivisions), while the next ones he just spaces one retangle at a time. I was having the same issue here
I've been using the MX Master for years. Hands-down (no pun intended) my favorite mouse ever.
Nice!
This is what in my entire design career wanted to learn and for the first time, someone explained it so well that I am commenting in middle of this video. Thank a million.
You went your whole career without learning grids?
@@liamcalpine I am not a Logo designer particularly, I am UI/UX designer and my major tool was Adobe Photoshop. Illustrator is my favorite free time.
The university i attended never taught me this and this channel might be better than the knowledge I’ve learned these past 4 years

Yes
You explained the grid system better than everyone out there. I have been looking for this for ages now. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
I've had a curiosity for this kind of logo design recently. Thank you for this!
Happy to help!
Dude, I got the MX Master 3 around the same time last year, I think, and even now it's hands down it's the best mouse I've ever used.
i agree about the mouse. it's hard for me to use anything outside of the logitech mouse after so many years. great video. i learned a lot. thanks.
This method is so simple, but it's a GAME CHANGER. Thanks so much for showing! I am learning to use Illustrator as a hobby, or possibly as a career.
Thank you ❤❤
Dude I’ve been waiting for someone to make a good video on this for a while. Cheers

Same. Going into my 2nd year of my design studies and they never showed me this method. Could have save me so much time the first year
Super helpful. Thanks for breaking down how to build out the grid. Incredibly useful.
Thanks i just got the idea! Ur way to explain this make it very easy for me. Best explanation ever for a grid logo ^^. I appreciate ur hard work :).

Any idea what grid settings these are?
what is the size of the grid distribution? thanks a lot!
Gridlines every 36px, 4 subdivisions
This is a great video Will! The only question I have is what measurements did you use to set your grid as mine is a lot bigger. :)
