Tip: As many apps use rounded image as profile/avatar, it's a good practice to prepare the logo inside the document in a way that the logo doesn't overflow the "circle boundary", so it's much easier for the user to upload their logo to social media without having to crop or manipulate the exported PNGs.
Thanks for the great advice man. Love watching your videos. This will definitely help me as I just picked up a client recently for a logo design. Much appreciated!
Thanks a lot. I'm arabic man following you. I hope you make arabic translation for your videos. There is a lot of Arabic designers want to follow you, but they can't speak English.
Hi. This was very helpful but as a few others asked with no reply, I’m confused about what size to save the pngs and jpgs and I assume we convert to rgb for web, then redo as cmyk for print? Anxiously awaiting your reply. Thanks so much!
@@hassanbaltistani3366 Hello, so, even a file for print needs files in RGB, when you send a work to a client, for print, you send the Print Ready File in CMYK and you also send in RGB files for presentation or web usage of the same work.
rgb for web, cmyk and Pantone for print. Plus black and white versions. The logo will be used across many areas of the business, so provide different file types and color formats.
Great video once again, thank you! I have a question though - what size do you use for the actual logo? Do you base it off the specific artboard size, is there a standard rule for what size the logos should be? Or standard artboard size for the logo?
the actual logo size doesn't matter so much. It matters when you export as you should export various sizes to the client for web use. But I typically design a logo on something like 1,000x1,000 pixels
Thanks for this video. I'd love to see how to create that low-poly background you made on the phone at 10:06. Do you already have a tutorial for this? If not, maybe a good idea for a future video!
Thanks for this valuable information. Nice explanation. I also love to see a full tutorial on logo design from concept to finish. In other words your process for designing a logo from brief,conceptualizing, generating ideas,development stage to end.
all I wanted to know was the best size to send/present the logo and whether to send as RGB or CMYK and you didn't even address this in the beginning when it is the most important detail?
Hope this helps, it's a super quick version of stuff I've picked up over the years. Please double-check with some googling! Ok so.. CMYK stands for Cyan Magenta Yellow and blacK, which is the standard for printing. Use CMYK for files to be printed. This is the standard colour wheel we were all taught in school - red (magenta), yellow and blue (cyan) as the primaries, etc. This is true for layers of pigments combined to create colours. Traditional painting uses the CMYK colour wheel. RBG stands for Red Green and Blue, which are the three types of light that our eyes are evolved to see. (fun fact, our Sun is a "yellow" star but actually most of the light it emits is in the greenish-blue wavelength. weird!) All images on a screen are produced with a combination of these colours. Use the RGB colour mode for files that will be on screens. Digital painting typically uses the RGB colour wheel. (although modern printers will have little trouble switching between the two, so really, don't worry too much about it!)
Amazing tutorial! Everything works well, except that both png- & the jpegfile are way to small, like 30 kB or something. When I preview those files, they are way to blurry, not really sharp. Any idea how to fix this would be very well appreciated! :) Best Greetings from Germany!
@@SatoriGraphics Thank you for the response! I solved it. If I remember it right, all I did was go to Effects -> Document Raster Effect Settings and then change "resolution" to high (300 ppi). (It was at 72 ppi before.) Hope this helps anybody who has the same problem.
@@gabriellerosesmall1831 hey, try this: Enlarge the artboard & the logo within by a multiple and see If your png.files are bigger and have a better resolution. Does it help? :)
Hey Satori, big fan here! I work with illustrator for over a dozen hours and i wonder how do you deal with sitting so long before computer? Do you excercise or smth?
Yep, I make sure to stand up for 5-10 minutes every hour or so. Maybe do some jumping jacks and burpees or something. But I do go to the gym 4-5 time a week as it is. Just make sure to stand up and walk around every hour or so :)
Hi Satori! I love you channel. I am a beginner graphic designer and I am wondering if this tutorial is still relevant for 2019? I've been using your guide for a lot of my logos, but is there any updates? Especially for Illustrator 2019.
Ive made logo that is 8700x2300px big, it needs to be 210x58px for a website. It does not loose the quality, but after i export it, it looks like trash, is it possible to export small logo without loosing quality?
Question: Shouldn’t you only give the native file if you and the client contractually agree that you will be a one time designer on the project? I am early in the video so 🤷♀️ if you have addressed this or not
dude i have problem the problem is when i save the logo to eps format how to preview i was thought your preview to pdf but when i try myself it give me error saying like "adobe acrobat reader could not open 'myname file.eps ' because its either not a supported file type or because the file has damaged for example it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded
HI thank you for your nice video. Loock I'm using affinity Designer . Whenever I'm done with a Logo, or text log, Minimalist logo. When I export it it came out blurry. Do you please know why? Any idea. Thanks a lot
hello sir, i need to ask that i have created a logo, i want to use it in a viideo, i have exported it as png 24- transparent, but when i use it in video , the logo edges are not sharp they are pixeleted, what should i do to avoid that pixeleted edges? please help sir, i beg u
if this is specific to mac, which is the windows version of illustrator? I usually save my logos in paint 3d. Looks nice, but still has a blur. Will be glad to know there is something better for windows.
I designed a logo to my customer and they are using different sizes like the social media profiles do i need to save different sizes instead of same size ?
@@SatoriGraphics thanks I appreciate that so, for the sake of that I have faced losing resolution of the logo like the favicons, facebook profiles, and other Sizes that are very small how I can solve it.
Do you have any tips on preventing clients from taking PDF you've sent for review and printing the "unfinished" version, skipping out of payment in the process?
my logo after pdf export is too big for 100% view in Acrobat (to fit the screen the 14,7% is ok for me) ... is it problem or how to scale it down? ... thanks for opinions ;)
I would only advise you do that after they have paid. I was told to always send a JPG version for approval and then send the higher res. versions once the client has paid. This advice was from an industry veteran comic color artist friend who gave me the advice after my project was stolen from a "friend" when sent to them for approval. Hope this helps.

Hey man, I'm always happy to help :)
Thank you !
👍👍👍
I was wondering whether to save a RGB file or cmyk. one or both for each design format
RGB is whenever you're dealing with web based screen stuff, CMYK is when dealing with print.
Hope that helps a bit!
I can't BELIEVE this comment was unanswered for a WHOLE year! :(
Ooh really. There is a human behind the screen.

When saving to PNG or JPG, what is the minimum sizing you should export? Thanks you. Great tutorials!
sizing does not matter if you rasterize the logo. rasterization allows you to enlarge or shrink to logo without it distorting.
Thanks for explanation
I find the lack of SVG surprising. What about the people (like me) who use Inkscape or other vector design apps?
Hey man, this was so helpful. Thank you very much and have a great weekend!:)

hi what size artboards is recommended for designing logos
Maybe a bit more of an ingepth video on the asset export would be good.
Yeah I think I will make a video on this, however I feel I have already done so.. I've made so many videos now, it's hard to keep track lol
What difference between illustrator cc ? And Adobe Ilustrator
Illustrator CC is where you pay monthly instead of once. But, you get updates as soon as they come out

For web based graphics it should be 72ppi and print, it depends on the size of the print project. Anything smaller than A3 is good at 300ppi
