Inkscape for Beginners: Logo Design Tutorial 

If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

I just wanted to say that I learn quite a few new things every time I watch a video from you about Inkscape. You seem to talk clearly enough that the auto-generated subtitles are mostly sane enough to follow. (I'm deaf)

7 years later, the video information is still valid. Thank you.

Hey Nick, thanks so much for this tutorial. It allowed me to quickly learn what I needed to know in less than a week to finalize a logo for a friends podcast. Never would have been able to do so without your clear instructions.

This is the single greatest inkskape tutorial I've seen so far. I'll be picking up your classes soon. Thank you for this one.

This video revealed the steps I needed to create my first logo that was necessary to begin my business marketing, thankyou.

man you've got the best Inkscape tutorials in RU-vid !

... and as always: Thank you for teaching!

You can buy an editable copy of this design along with 150+ other similar design templates for $5. Check out my logo design bundle if interested: logosbynick.com/logo-design-kit/

Thanks for helping me learn Inkscape Nick, I've held off on purchasing Adobe because I can't afford it at this time in life. Inkscape has been my saving grace, and your videos have become my favorite way to learn this program.

dude! I really appreciate your inkscape videos! without them i would be totally lost! got a new hobby thanks to you!

I love your tutorials. Found myself a new hobby

Thank you Nick! Your tutorials are clear and honest, and of course, excellent! I'm going to share this with my companions.

Thanks for your work Nick, i am just getting into working with Inkscape and really love your tutorials, thank you !

Hi Nick, Thanks for a great tutorial from one who has recently discovered Inkscape. Thanks also for all the info about exactly how you make your excellent videos.

Great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing. I didn't realise there was so much that could be done with Inkscape but you've given me the confidence to re-look at it. Liked and subscribed, keep up the good work 😁

Thanks man! This tutorial really helped me out! :)

Awesome tutorial! Even for an Inkscape noob like me, it was easy enough to follow along with. Thanks for making this :D

Thanks so much for your videos! I've been stumbling around Inkscape for years and you answered about 10 unanswered how-to's just in one video. I have just started using it to make custom labels and was thrilled to find out about the clone command! I will have to look into your library and see if you have any videos on labels and/or cloning. If you have a link to one - I'd love to watch one. It's your little tips that really help the most!

Thank you for this tutorial, I learned so much from your step by step explanations and just by following along.

Really nice tutorial with in depth instructions Thanks a lot Nick !!!!!!

Thank you so much for this great tutorial, I learned a lot!

I got pixel advert, very fitting. great tutorial Nick your work is helping me get into vector design quite easily so TY

Great tutorials Nick. I've just installed the latest version .02 and looking forward to tutorials on the new features.

Many thanks again for this great video!

Thanks Nick. This really helped me get a grip on Inkscape. Still studying Adobe Illustrator CS3 off and on for years but this tutorial was beast with a logo design. I had the latest version which was different than the tutorial one, but just had to learn the location of the actions to take with latest version to match yours. Great tutorial indeed!!!!!

Love all your vids. Please keep them coming.

really nice tutorials, but i did find it quite difficult to follow along with the current version of inkscape, trying to find how to enable snapping where for you it was on from the get go, object menu being a drop down and not a seperate row, buncha small differences which added up, eventually got through it, but would love to see an updated tutorial!

Such an amazing tutorial.

Hi Nick, Where's the link to the color scheme and custom icons you mentioned at 0:37 ? Thanks

man you are amazing, I just learned something today

I am from France and thank you very much for this beautiful video good continuation

Thanks Nick. I'm a newbie but I'm trying! I appreciate your time!

Pretty Good x A Zillion! I have learnt so much from your channel!

This is a very good tutorial. Thank you.

Awesome at explaining this stuff. Thanks Sir. Good pacing as well, not too fast for slow me.

Hey Nick! Thanks for all of your tutorials, I'm a big fan of it. Please, could you make a detailed tutorial on the timelapse video of the pink panta? Greetings from Germany

man you are simply amazing

What a genius! Thanks a lot, Nick!

Great video tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for teaching!

Thumbs up, really helpful and good tutorial!!

it looks so cool 0.o I really need to download and learn using it

thank you Nick !

Thank Nick. This was really helpful...

You are the real MVP!

Thanks for the tutorial! I did have lots of trouble with the last part though: I couldn't get any of the path tools to work, possibly because I didn't listen as attentively as I should have.. It seems I had done "Objects -> Group" instead of "Path -> Union" somewhere along the way. Well, lesson learnt!

inverted color panels you are brilliant!

Thanks this is very helpful!

You sir are a life saver. That is all

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Hi guys, I'm trying to do everything on my drawing tablet to build up the muscle memory for it (and because it cost alot) but when it comes to vectors I keep switching back to my mouse so should i persist or is there really no benifit in using drawing tablets for this type of vector design.

Thanks for the great videos..

@15:32 you turn off the "Snap to Cusp" -- I can't find it; and how do you make it appear on the top of your toolbar?

hello, me when I do the two curve on the side we must leave without the bad without kind he returns instead of being outward, sorry for my translation I am French

Thanks a lot man~~ Finish my first exercise on inkscape.. already subscribed.

Thanks a lot. just need some help for the last step, cause when i cut path its rendering something else

just what i needed, thank you very much !

Nice logo, Thank you! :)

Just watched this on the Inkscape web and came here to subscribe and like the video :). Thanks for the tutorial and make it really easy to follow by a noob like me. I was searching for a CorelDraw alternatives. Will watch all your videos about Inkscape!

hello there! I always love your video and it helps me a lot with learning inkscape. Thank you so much! The new version of inkscape was just released and I have been playing around with it. I kind of liking it so far and I was hoping to hear your opinion on it? thank you

Bravo!! Great video

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It's superb! Sub'd.

thankyou for this awsome tutorial

I'm impressed. Thx for this tutorial. 👍 I was wandering: is it possible to show 'on the fly' guidelines between objects in Inkscape, just like PowerPoint does?

Hi Nick, Can we do the same the lesson above from 21:05 - 21:36 on Affinity Designer App? Appreciate that in advance.

Hi Nick, you are doing really cool tutorials, thank you for that. Can you teach or explain how to do low poly effect image? (Sorry for my English)

Hi Nick, i work on a mac, and have been an illustrator user for some time, but after seeing some of your vids i would like to try Inkscape. Ive managed to get it onto my mac (with some difficulty i must say) but im interested in it being dark with your icons. Is this possible? do you know how? Thanks Hay

thank you so much man!

You are AWESOME! I just downloaded the program today & within a few hrs of your various tutorials I created some cool stuff... for a beginner that is LOL Only suggestion I have (as a newbie), you do go a tad fast on some areas.

Thanks for the video!. The bit after we add the numbers in, why do we need to do all that stuff before we group it all together?

Hi Nick, thank you for the tutorial. I followed all your steps, however, whenever I'm going to cut, the circle's shape becomes weird.

ohh myy god this tutorial is amazing

For anyone at the last step on 21:25 getting a wonky coin instead of a nice cut: Select the circle, goto Object > Flip Vertically (V) to flip the circle, then deselect, select the red diamond, select the circle, then goto Path > Cut path (P) hope this helps : )

Really nice!!! Thanks!!!!

I found that Tw Cen MT Condensed Normal looks pretty good for the outside lettering

Man you really know some cool tricks!

As soon as I get to the part where we need to cut path for the circle to break down into pieces so I can get rid of the part over the text my circle changes to a weird shape. The paths are cut but I am completely unable to do what you did for some reason. Wish I could add a screenshot here.

Excellent!

Hey Nick, i love these tutorials. Thank you so much! When I click text>put on path, my text goes inside the diameter instead of outside, and the text is reversed. If I click flip vertically, it goes to the outside, but it is still reversed. Any help?

Hey Nick, Can you please tell me what is the difference between Perspective and Envelope in Inkscape Extensions menu, and when to use Perspective and when to use Envelope? Thank you in Advance

one I hit path it does not work? any ideas?

Hey man how did you get round edges on the two cut paths thing, mine are blocky, i mean straight line, not smooth like you have? Thanks a million!

Please Nick, if possible how to design the packaging luxurious and attractive، Inkscape, for cardboard boxes and bags. Thank you.

Thank you so much!

beautiful

hello nick, sometimes clients ask for .eps coz they do not know tools... they just hear oh i want adobe format etc... will inkscape be usable there?

Im learning so much! Thanks! But when its not working for me the dupplicate-union-difference :( Nothing happens, the pencils still bblack :((

HI, I do not have the arrows for up and down in the part where you can slide, my arrows are from left to right. how can I change that

Intersection deletes the lines entirely at 12:32. Why? EDIT: Okay, so I was able to create a second smaller square, line it up properly, and group it with the first one. It was the only way I could get the look right.

Love it

Thanks Nick. Another neat tutorial. However, the cut path did not work correctly. Thanks to the folks in the comments where they pointed me out to fixing this glitch by flipping the circle before doing cut path :)

when i double click on geometric shapes it doesnt give me those outward arrows what do i do?

How am I only discovering you now. 100% I am buying your course pack. Like holy shit, you should charge 70 or more for it!

Awesome videos! Where did you get your fonts file? I didn't have League gothic. I'm using standard fonts for Windows 10.

perfect eye measurement sight

What OS are you using? I'm curious 'coz you're taskbar looks amazing! Thanks!

top! Very good !

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!

How do I properly export my vectors as .png? Every time I try, there's never any information. I always have to copy it, open Gimp, and paste it there. Then I have to get rid of the background (I prefer not using backgrounds if I can get away with it) and fix any other problem I have with it.
