Whats so cool to me is how when you first look at a logo and think hmmm thats pretty solid, and then when you get in there and really start giving it some love and making things more consistent and you compare the two you immediately see the difference, number 3 was definitely the way to go. Thank you so much for this video it reminded me of how important the small details are. Great job!

@ProfNomis

Great video. I personally really like these type of videos where you go a bit deeper into the technical stuff. And my favourite is #3, each letterform looks connected to the others and it has a beautiful balance.

Love how you focus a bit on type design and recommend looking for reputable foundries (a daunting task in and of itself imho), which is super important when doing anything typographic whatsoever. You don't wanna be using a bad typeface, ever 😄 Also if you want to really improve your type designing skills, I think you wont get around drawing whole alphabets. It makes you understand the whole concept and the relationships between letterforms way better than just drawing one word. Great video, much love from Germany! ☺

If you skewed the square at 4:18 it would match the diagonal stroke. So, the horizontal width of the stroke is consistent. And three is best, the elements are more in harmony.

3. The second terminal gives it balance without being symmetrical. Alt/Option dragging a single anchor point duplicates the whole line for me... (UPDATE: because I didn't use the scale tool! You really do have to pay attention and watch full screen.)

Just a tip for the audio. In this video the audio is heavily compressed, which is typical when you're dealing with vocals or speech, but when you do that in a roomy-sound (room mic.), the audio gets really "pumpy" and brings a lot of "room-artifacts" to the front. Compressing vocals from a condenser mic is fine, but make sure you minimize the room sound.

This was an information packed video! Expect nothing less from the Futur team of course. 😍 I am a little confused about the letter 'd' at 6:16 . The 'o' should have flattened correctly into the 'd' like it did in the Bodoni font, right? Since you'd fixed the thickness of the 'o' earlier? So why didn't it? I feel like I need to know this so that I know how to spot stuff like this in the future. Thanks again for your amazing content and hard work @TheFuturAcademy!

My vote goes to the 3rd iteration, but I'd like that little ball on the "t" to get cut out so only the ball on the "v" is left. It looks cleaner and easier to read in my opinion.

@munchingorange234 5 лет назад
I like the third one but the D still feels quite funky. It just feels more cartoony and not as mature as the other letters. I think the round in the middle of the D needed some adjusting to make it a bit more sharp and a better curve in the inner circle.

9:08 How come I can't do the same thing? when I select that anchor point with the direct selection tool and hold alt/option and drag the anchor point, the whole stroke moves to the right! my cursor show a + sign instead of double cursor icon when I hold the alt/option!

Hi Chris and Futur peoples! I've been a Sustaining Member since 2017 and have been applying everything I have learned to my designs and they have been 100 percent better! Now I want to up my game and start charging more for my designs just because I already undersell myself and I know that. I need the confidence of "a formula" in the form of spacing in typography. I'm looking for some serious ways to train on type like this video. I just really want to be confident in my typography spacing and know how to spot it across a room like Chris. I want to buy a typography course with my tax refund and I am very committed to it. So the question is. which course should I start on? I am a failed animator with a degree turned to dust. I have rebounded in graphic design through your channel and others like it and have gained many clients since then. So really what is the best course to take if I'm looking for tight type design and have a basic concept of typography but not traditionally trained?
