Typographic Logos: Typography and Lettering for Logo Design (Udemy.com)

I've been drawing logos since an early age, before the digital age. I found this method very simple and easy. I very much enjoyed it. I was self-taught and coincidently, many of the techniques I've used in the past were also presented here. I do not work as an Illustrator but as an Engineering Drafter. thank you very much for this great learning experience.

When I first took typography classes, I was struggling on how to actually make typographic logos on the computer. Then I learned that the whole process isn't as simple as I thought it would be. This course shows me an example on how to make your logo design through a couple of steps. This course is very helpful on my studies and I can recommend this to anyone who wants to try to do typography!

I felt the Designer spent time explaining the very basics such as what pencil to use but rushed through the more complicated techniques. It was difficult to see what tools he had selected. A step by step guide with exercises to ensure you had learnt about each stage would have been useful. Its actually put me off typography design and I'm no closer in understanding how get my t-shirt design to print stage, what file type to use, etc. etc.

it has not been perfect match for me as i do not know anything about illustrator and i was expecting a brief introduction of the tools, software and shortcuts. the fact that a lot of assumptions have been made about the kind of students that will be watching and learning from this tutorial is disappointing. for instance it is assumed that they know what a shear tool is, how to invert colors and the biggest of all that they have a printer! this course is not for me, did not solve my purpose but i intend to try and finish it and see if i have the energy to fill in the blanks and read between the lines.

When I first started watching this video, my thought was WHY is there so much talk. I'm an "action" person and love jumping into creating. I let a few videos go by without paying attention but something stopped me and I restarted the videos a second time. I listened carefully with an open mind. That's when I started finding advice that I knew I can implement in my process. Especially ones which I didn't before. I'm getting into Typography for the first time and I think this will help set a sort of discipline of how to go about the process. Thanks for the course Ray!

Explicou o processo desde o começo até ao final, não deixando margens para dúvidas. Acompanhou a evolução do trabalho, demonstrando porque usava determinadas ferramentas, deixando sempre a alternativa de se poder usar outras. A forma "clean" como trabalha, facilita a aprendizagem, tanto na artboard como nas layers. Ray mais do que um enorme designer, é um explicador por natureza, com um tom de voz pausado e uma perfeita noção de como ensinar todos os passos.

This really is a great course and is very well taught from an experienced designer. He teaches an excellent workflow for creating any type of typographic logo, which is something I haven't seen that taught much on the internet. He also gives some really good tips, insightful comments, and lots of high quality resources such as brushes and textures. Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in graphic design as this will add a new dimension to your logo design skillset.

I strongly recommend this course on Udemy for anyone interested in Typography and/or logo design (who has Adobe Illustrator). I've watched all the videos at least three times and find myself returning on a regular basis to refresh my memory on some of the neat tips and tricks that he offers. Don't pay the full price though, as there are sales every few weeks. Smartest $15 ever spent.

I have been designing for a few years and feel this would be appropriate for new designers. There are some great techniques for the type of logo created. I took the class to get some inspiration for custom text logos, but felt that having only one example was a little disappointing. i will recommend this class to a few friends because it was great instruction, but I did hope for more examples. Thank you for the great instructions you did provide. I look forward to any additional classes you create.

I really enjoyed your course. It was really great that you mentioned Pinterest. I've been using it for inspiration for awhile, but I was glad to see your Type and Lettering board. And, the fact that you like Herb Lubalin's work. I've always admired his work as well, and I had a teacher in grad school who worked with him in his studio! So, that brought back fond memories. I can't wait to try some of your techniques. :>)
