Create Word Art Logos with GIMP
In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to create simple word art-style logos using a piece of free design software known as GIMP. For this example we’ll be creating a silhouette tracing of a buffalo with the letters of the word “buffalo” making up the silhouette.
Normally I don’t use GIMP for logo design because logos are better suited for the vector format, but for this sort of design I find it’s easier to use GIMP because we’ll be utilizing a lot of manual brush strokes. So my approach here is to create the structure of the logo in GIMP, then import it into Inkscape to create a true vector tracing that would be appropriate for use as a logo.

Any tips for cleaning up the jagged parts of the eraser lines so they don't look so pixelated? I was thinking maybe the paths tool and deleting out selections in chunks but wondering if there's a different way I'm not thinking of. Thanks for these videos!
Thank you so much.
that's sick
Nice! Thanks for the video! Looks real good! I’m not a fan of the letter O you made but it still looks great
Cool!
I just love your work man. They way you walk us through it the best. Thank you. Can you do a video on inkscape how to make a box. I have a laser machine. And having trouble figuring out inkscape I'm new to it.
Gracias por la informacion Professor

Really good for psychedelia :)
Thanks!
oh boi I love these gimp videos I made all my new thumbnails using @Logos By Nicks video I pretty happy with them if I do say so myself lol
can you do a tutorial on how to make the effect you used for the thumb nail of the Carved letter video
Hey Nick, nice tutorial. But I would've love to see how you bring a design from GIMP to Inkscape and turn it into a vector. Can you please make a tutorial in the future explaining that?

Heh. I was expecting some cool semi-automated trickery, and your gave us actual art, but doable art. So nifty. Also nifty that I can use Photoshop's "Select Subject" for the tedious original selection bit. But mostly, cool how you use two unfussy manual processes to create something that works so well.
Hi Nick. Thanks for the tutorial. Used it for my business logo. One question, how do you color it?
Very cool your videos using opensource tools. Thumbs up and subscribed. Congratulations
perfect
Not what I was looking for, but really cool. Hope I remember this when an appropriate project comes up

Thank You. Been watching many of your videos, very helpful. May I, this one was a little more brute force then the other "magic wand" type. Guess that's how it has to be some times.

Nick you should do a review of the new Gimp. It has gotten a lot of features and bug fixes since Gimp 2.10.0 was released.

Hey guys, can someone tell me how to round off the corners of an image after importing them into Inkscape? is it possible to do that?
hey nick, I have a problem. So I already install the fonts that i need to use but on inkscape its not showing any help there? Thanks in advance
Hey Nick! Thanks for the good Gimp tutorials! I was wondering if you could make a video about making these logos into a png format, and remove the background. I really want to create some nice overlays and logos for my twitch streams. I made some logos using your tutorials, but i can't seem to figure out how to make it into a png picture. When i try removing the background it just creates a white image when i try to export it.
Hey man. What do you think about blender 3d? Have you tried using it already? Great tutorials man. Thanks.
simple but powerfull
youre thebest
Hi Nick. Quick question. I saw your logo templates on your website. I presume they can be used if I did a job for someone online? With my own text and colours of course. Wasn't sure if there was copyright attached to it.
Noice brah!
Hi Nick, just wanted to know, if I follow one of your tutorials and use my creation that I made from your tutorial for a commercial project, will I be infringing copyright?
@Logos By Nick is there a video of how you finished this in Inksape please or did you use some sort of auto trace?
How do i change the colour of the layer after im done?
how do you opened this image in background layer?
is it possible to coloring it in gimp like you do with that orange color?
When you are recording the screen, how is the key operation displayed in the lower left corner real-time? Thank you!
Hey nick, I have followed your tutorials, I really like them and have learned a lot from them. BUT there is a problem, whenever I save them as .png they wont open as a picture and if they do, it not what i have made. BTW I am using windows for inkscape. Also I would request you to make a complete video on your Ubuntu OS customization, I like the theme and overall apearrance of it. Thanks for your time and videos.
Odiyan!
Could u have finished it from Gimp?
My gimp doesn't give me the option of the paths tool. anyone know why?
Would changing the original image to a black and white picture then select the black be faster?
