The March 2012 Tutorial Discussion

[angelize]

I really enjoyed the video tutorial Gary. I love the intro bit with the flying logos and the bug spray! I did notice though that the audio and video seemed slightly out of sync on that part. After watching the video I decided to give my SunWings Logotype (see I paid attention! )a bit of a re design. I have kept the basic logotype which began as a font called Candy Script I cant remember where I got it from possibly DaFont or Font Squirrel. Any way I made some edits to both s's and re designed the cap W as a butterfly. Today I played around with the mold tool and placed the molded logotype over a stylized daisy.

I hope it's ok that I'm posting this, rather than actually "doing the tutorial".

I did notice though that the audio and video seemed slightly out of sync on that part.

That happened because I was almost literally filming thoughts as I wrote them, and actually much of me on camera is overdubbed. Couldn't be helped in the few days I had to produce what became a 12 minute video—hopefully the message came through, nevertheless.

Your logo looks good, I'm wondering if you could post a "before" and "after" watching the tute?

Mike, I'll add some text explaining how to use the color palette to that page, thanks for clarifying!

My Best,
Gary

Great tutorial, Gary

The real stand-out is that your videos are very understandable, but also that they are immensely enjoyable to watch.

It made me think of being a kid and watching Saturday morning cartoons... I never wanted them to come to an end. Same with your videos!

Thanks you, James. It takes time, but it's fun and an education writing and then producing the monthly tutorials.

I said it once, and I'll say it again: Gary Priester as Der XoneMeister is a very tough act to follow.

My Best,

Gary

Here for comparison is my logo before and after watching the video

Another excellent tutorial Gary, thanks!
Huge amount of work in this broadcast.

I like your take on Dean's Yes Logo.

Have a good Week-end!

Thanks, Mark.

I think it's interesting that logos not only belong to corporations, products, and services now, but also to individuals...the moment you incorporate!

I confess that this month's tutorial was more of a survey, and then a peek over my shoulder, but it's my hope that the video will serve as a framework should any Xaraist land a gig designing a logo.

And I'm right here for critiques and moral support, you know!

My Best,

Gary
