Thank you. I speed it up to 1.5X and it was about perfect for me. :) A small note, moving your back logo over a round solder pad gives your penguin an eye!
Thanks for showing the steps. Thanks for showing the version of KiCAD in the Show More information and the other links and the named chapters. Well done!
Have you changed the image to a 1-bit black and white image? Although you can handle that in the footprint tool I find it works better to use Gimp or similar? The other thing to try is the negative option which will invert which colour is used for the silkscreen.
The logo is on the silk screen, so it doesn't matter if there is any tracks on that side of the board as long as they print the silkscreen. When I put logos on the front I normally put them small to fit in between the components, but you could create the logo any size but it may be obscured by the components.
@@nandinikose1414 Basically it doesn't matter how many copper layers you have, the writing / logo is on the silkscreen so printing logos is no different to a double sided board. As long as the PCB manufacturer prints the silkscreen on the front then it's exactly the same as how I added the small logo in the video. As far as I know all commercial board manufacturers do print silkscreen on the front as otherwise you couldn't label the components on the top of the board.
I use JLCPCB to create the PCB and their process ensures that the silkscreen does not print over the top of the solder pads. I believe other manufacturers do the same, but you may need to check with a particular manufacturer if the silkscreen is printed over the pads.

excellent video and helped explain how graphics work in Kicad

I'm glad it was useful.
Mine keeps filling in the square background no matter if i remove the background with image software or not :(

If my PCB is single sided pcb....but I want to add logo in front (components) side then what I want to do for put that logo on front side of PCB

@@PenguinTutor sorry i didn't get your point
Can u explain in short

Thanks!
You made that easy for me. Thank You!!!
Very professional! 😉
But that silscreen will print on the copper pad whats the solution for that??
I use JLCPCB to create the PCB and their process ensures that the silkscreen does not print over the top of the solder pads. I believe other manufacturers do the same, but you may need to check with a particular manufacturer if the silkscreen is printed over the pads.
Whatever I change the width and height to it goes back to 1.5 !
Anyone any suggestions ?
Wow .. thanks....
Great video, thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you Tutor! :D
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!
thanks a looot
