Create An Esports Logo with Inkscape

Today I’ll be tackling a common request that I’ve been receiving for a while - how to design an esports logo with Inkscape. I won’t be using any kind of elaborate illustrations of animals or mascots, but I will be demonstrating how to create a logo is the traditional esports style, for a lack of better terms.

    I use Inkscape for years as an auxiliary tool (not full time), and that's the first time I am actually seeing tutorials for it. Your videos are very well done! Thank you so much for putting this together. I have learned a lot from your channel and will definitively save time on my future endeavours.

On my independent work I was making a logo and wanted to put the bigger size of the logo with a lesser opacity on the background like you did here. Can you teach how to do that cuz path -> difference is not an option there...

    Love your work Nick, Ive been waiting for this one. Only trouble is when I use the offset tool it shoots black lines out everywhere instead of swelling the image. So I'm following what you do with the final step of putting the yellow border around, so I duplicate, ungroup, union then recolour it yellow, and there's still black lines from the original drawing showing thru the yellow. I think they're what's causing the shooting lines. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to regroup earlier? Or did I not object to path it? Im stumped.
