    LOGO DESING IS A SCAM, it shouldn't be this "thing" of "professional", people don't give a fuck about logos, that's the pure truth, only the ones who study logo design analize them, and think the world spins around them and "logo perfection", nah, no normal human being cares a fuck about it, that's the sad truth, it's a career that should disappear, any idiot can make a decent logo, and it would look cool as made by a "professional designer", I HAVE SPOKEN.CHOOSE A DECENT CAREEER, NOT A LAZY ONE PEOPLE, THANKS.

    The abstract logo design is a great concept... for a major corporation that advertises and has millions of products on the street. HOWEVER, many small local businesses (such as the dog walker you mention) lack that luxury. Also, they request a logo that reflects their product or service. And since they're paying, it's best to listen to them and develop a tasteful logo that includes their product or service. With "tasteful" being the operative word since Lord knows I've seen dozens of clumsy, ill-advised logos on local businesses.

    Case in point, Doritos only has to rely on a paint swirl of the colors from their logo, and people know it is a bag of Doritos (and what flavor.) My friend running an antique store in old downtown does not have that exposure. Thus, she needed "something antique-ish, or antique-looking ,or antique-reminisient..." You know the drill lol I believe the "little guys" need something a world apart from the "big boys" which is cool (Please do not get me wrong lol). I think if you have the money and time to establish, yes go for that logo like Target or Sony. If you are smaller, a heads up to what you do in your logo helps, even if it is actually written out (Think "Bob's Burgers"). The logo might not even need a burger, but you know what you are going to get when you walk in. (My comment does Not mean the logos and strategies discussed in the video are without merit. In fact, they are very, very helpful. I am commenting Only on the above commenters response to the video).

    @@americanfirst4378 Nope. It's the official anti-fascist logo, which I wear with pride. I've never been a fan of white nationalist bullies, and have identified as Antifa since the mid-'80s, when we protected minority and gay people at punk shows from roving bands of meth-tweaking skinheads. Real "tough guys" who hunted lone gay or black people in packs of 5-8. Total losers. When they saw our band of husky punkers, who were legion at every show, they ran. They preferred the easy kill, the skinny guys they outnumbered, to a real challenge. I've been Antifa since.

    A better reason to start a new logo design in black and white is because if you can make it work in just black and white, then later on if you ever put that logo on a promo item like pencils or tote bags, something where most likely it will be a 1 color imprint, it will work (or if you have to use a special technique like foil, laser etching, or emboss, etc.). I work in a print shop and I can't tell you how many times we get into arguments with clients because of their overly-detailed, multi-color logos that look like shit when reduced to a single color and stamped onto an item; they get mad because the detail is gone, it's "lost its character", etc.

    That is THE No1 tip for logo design. You have nailed some very important reasons. I argue this same point with numerous "professionals" aka experts. But they constantly say it will only ever be seen in colour... ignoring the colour blind... and also ignoring the fact the client should never have restrictions placed on end application. Moreover designing in B&W simplifies determining negative space balance. Will's advice is well intentioned but the one logo a minute exercise is not a tip anyone should adopt. Roughing out designs is a process of exploration. There can be no time limits on that. Obviously the faster you can get your ideas out of your head the better, to clear the clutter!. Then you can move onto refinement or new territory.

    Some great tips. I would point out that the test of cutting a logo in half, blurring it, etc. and it still being recognizable only works for companies like SONY and Target because they've already establish brand recognition over decades of marketing. So keep in mind that when creating a logo for a new business, no one knows who they are, what they represent, or what they do, so simplicity and clarity is even more important.

    I literally test Tip No 7 (Drawing test) with one of my friend as he is not a designer. But he remembered what I've shown to him and he sketched that Logo in less than a minute. Thanks for your Great Tips.
