Love Shane so much - he has SO much knowledge to share with designers all over the world. He has seen and done it all.

thank you Marco for watching! we appreciate it!

no - i don't feel this is click bait at all - its a straightforward title and the article explains exactly what the title states - I will do another post on the importance of hiring a professional designer and the process behind creating a real logo by a pro - I don't believe for one minute this post degrades the profession or craft of a designer - my hope is non-designer types try the steps in this post and then see how hard it really is to design something which opens the conversation up to them hiring a professional logo designer.

oh - to be clear - this is NOT how I personally design a logo - this is a hack - a siple way to show someone who has no design experience how to make a logo quickly - I personally have a very very different process

Thanks for sharing Max! Hi DN, despite your impression of the title, this is a true step by step guide, not satire or a cynical take on the brutal work of logo design - this truly is a way to make a logo fast in a pinch. Hope you enjoy!

woohoo!!! amazing Duncan! stoked the Tee still holds up!

I do! lets see - open right now is Photoshop, Sketch, Illustrator, Figma (been playing), Google Slides, Keynote and The Noun Project. how about you?

Thanks Aaron! I really love the Gif, Looping Video revolution happening right now - Allison House is crushing that world hard right now.

When I was at YouTube and Google it was either hanging out in a meeting trying to sell a design, or talk about what we were going to design or pairing with an engineer to tweak the coded design to match the original thought.

I wrote down a bunch a basic product design method here which highlights a bunch of different tasks a designer does

Hemosaur - and I would want to be flying dinosaur :)

I would have loved the change to do UX and UI in school - I think its just as important to have a strong foundation in communication and graphic design - I do think too many UX folks lack visual design skills now and thats a really bummer - I LOVE international experience - nothing like trying to design and interface in German or Russian! Thanks for the questions!
