Design A Logo In Inkscape

In this tutorial we'll be going over how to design a circular badge logo with Inkscape. It depicts two lines of text that warp around a circle and the center area can filled with whatever you'd like.

    Hey Nick! I just wanted to thank you for all that you do. Pandemic has been hard especially in getting a job, I am from the Philippines and freelancing is a thing here. With your tutorial videos, I was able to land some gigs locally and have been part of a marketing team. I can't thank you enough!

    Nice tutorial as always. Could´t you copy the first circle in place and transform it in same step? Or make a "path" circle and a second the same way? I know coming from Corel where most is so easy Inkscape is sometimes a mystery to me. WOuld like to see in maybe other tutorials different ways to reach the effect.

    You are a wizard. I’m an older-ish, new, user of Inkscape. My memory leaves a lot to be desired, so it’s hard for me to learn from those who speak fast and ramble on. But you’re different. I’m actually learning. It’s helping me to exercise my memory. Thank you.

    another great video nick ! i have a question: while using the selector tool, when you click once on an object, you get the scaling arrows, when you click a second time you get the rotation handles. is there a way to switch form scaling arrows to rotation handles, other than clicking a second time on the object ? for instance, for an object that is entirely beneath another object. you can alt-click to select the hidden object, but when you alt-click a second time, it cycles further through the stacked objects...

    PRO TIP: Beyond their obvious usefulness, when it comes to selecting items; the layers panel is the most invaluable tool in the software (just about any editing software).

    it is a very good Dsoftware but i wish thy could add some easier cutting tools : for example when there are intersections , instead of clicking allways path and do stuff prior to intersections , that we have a tool which is on the left or upper side and by clicking on it the cutting tool is active and all we need to do is go to the area we want to cut out. Once there , the area we want to cut out gets a red line and after clicking on it, it is cut out. i find many things being made complicated without reason and intersection or division are only two of them. by making a Music Cover design i noticed this ... Inkscape can easaly outrun Illustrator and any similar Program

    Scaling object, the feature is not clear enough. When you click it , how does one know it is in the off or on or able or disable. That is a very poor feature. I wish it had 2 options able and disable or on/off. I am not sure what my was set to or what the default is. I am using Inkscape 1.3 version.
