  • Cerealkillr, on 10/11/2007, -4/+23These random lists always receive my digg!
    • Asvetic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I enjoy a good tutorial now and then, it's a shame this list didn't have any.
    • resplence, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Logo tutorials - this is awesome. I didn't know there were step-by-step instructions to achieve creative insight, branding conceptualization and abstraction.

      Somewhere along the road design got confused with its tools. This is exactly the reason web 2.0 logos suck. Designing a logo is not only about creating something good-looking, or being clever with letters, shapes and colors. Good logos have a symbolic meaning that goes beyond aesthetics. That said, the only REAL and valuable article on that list about logo creation is http://www.ideasonideas.com/2007/01/small_companies/

      Oddly enough, it doesn't have any pictures.
    • rhoul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16@resplence:

      I hear you, man - but after 4 years of design school and another 3 years in the industry, I can honestly say you're only half right. As much as any designer worth his pixels hates to admit it, a big portion of our job really is "making things look pretty" - or to put it more professionally, to "elicit an emotional response". You're thinking with your male brain too much... High-brow "symbolic meanings" might make for compelling project rationales and case studies... but IRL, those things are only fascinating to other designers, especially when it's about their own work.

      The general public (for whom the design is almost always for) really doesn't register these things at that level. If it don't look cool, they don't care. But that said, "cool" is as much an emotional science as "symbolic" is an intellectual one.

      Conclusion: It takes both to design a great logo.
    • Charlotte_Web, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So many logos are over-designed. People think that they have to make it really exquisite to stand out, when the reality is that the more complex it is, the more difficult it is to remember.

      Have you ever noticed that the largest companies often have the simplest logo designs?
    • digg-dugg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5A lot of these aren't logos, they're icons. A professional logo should always be able to be reproduced in monotone or black and white.
    • rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Thanks for pushing the design and printing industry back another year.
      "I can do one of those logos. I saws it on the internets."

      If you have no experience or education in design or printing, please leave this up to a professional who knows how to create a logo that will produce well in most situations. DO not let this empowere you! I am talking to you, CEO of that startup that just got funding...
  • DietMountainDew, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1Site is very slow already.

    http://www.duggmirror.com
  • whereswayne, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9should read "the ONLY 50 logo design tutorials"
    • jonashwing, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1EXACTLY.
      Exhaustive would have been a better description
  • LowROI, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Good set of professional logo tuts.
  • alanic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+450? Now I'll have to skip sleep again.
  • Nargath, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Dammit, I read that as saying LEGO Design Tutorials. Now I'm disappointed :(
    • rjsmith2007, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2Get your mind out of the gutter.
  • chemam, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3i don't think any tutorial will actually teach you how to design a logo, it might teach you the tools but not the design principles.
    • kaph, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2@chemam (#6802732)
      Maybe you should start reading better tutorials.
  • TWill, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2I though it said "Top 50 LEGO Design Tutorials"...I was looking forward to see some cool Lego creations... :-)
  • elDoppelganger, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1wow. 50. really... if you can't learn how to make a logo after 10 tutorials, you need to find somehting else to do.
  • alecpriester, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Ha, "Logos for the Design Challenged by Gary Priester"

    no relation, but not a very common last name.
  • blueeyedmonster, on 10/11/2007, -1/+450? 10 would have been plenty considering the first 3 I clicked on said nearly the exact same thing.

    More != better.
  • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -2/+6I hope one of those tutorials covers how to hide a penis in the logo.
  • pveltrent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1some of those are cool, but what the hell is that "tribal art" crap towards the bottom. Great, now we can design logos, and resell them as slutty lower back tattoos! We are all going to be rich!
    • rhoul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Well, hold on now. Before we cast off this idea in bitter mockery, let us ask ourselves - do the girls come with?
  • newl, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4And the best tutorial of all would be:

  • Discobiscuits, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3No idea how my ***** glossy arrow icon got on that top 50, that guy must of put those tutorials together straight from his ass -_-

    The best tutorial on that page has to be http://www.ndesign-studio.com/resources/tutorials/illustrator-cs2-splash/ ... ndesign has my favorite illustrator tutorials.
  • smhill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Save some time, just go to : http://www.illustrationclass.com

    11 of them (mostly the good ones) are straight from Vonster's site.
  • martyncoup, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0What a good site this is, some super examples and tutorials.
  • agate, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0a really good web!!!
  • Insanitation, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Anyone else read it as Lego designs?
  • poolmanjim, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The designs posted up were okay but very few of them inspired me much. Yes, they could help generate ideas but isn't creating a logo somewhat about creativity?

    I'm certain there are going to be several websites pop up with VERY similar logos to those because creativity seems to be rather difficult to locate from time to time.

    Overall, the logos were okay, they could use some work though. It would have been better to have something like a "Photoshop/Illustrator Tutorial: Commonly Used Logo Techniques."
    • Discobiscuits, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Indeed, but you know, people have to start somewhere. This is still a decent compilation for someone just beginning with this. They can get techniques down and extend them into better vector logos (or at least a select few will.)
  • slapthemonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the tutorial. Good help.
  • iomatic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Just do it right and hire an experienced identity designer.

  • firewalker06, on 11/21/2007, -0/+0I don't think the top 50 is really the best one.
  • conceptmedia, on 01/30/2008, -0/+0Awesome Tutorial!

  • ypoimla, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Do not use this medication if you are allergic to Xanax or to other benzodiazepines, such as chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), or oxazepam (Serax). This medication can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Do not use Xanax if you are pregnant.
    http://buyvicodininmexico.org/?p=234
    Before taking Xanax, tell your doctor if you have any breathing problems, glaucoma, kidney or liver disease, or a history of depression, suicidal thoughts, or addiction to drugs or alcohol.
    Do not drink alcohol while taking Xanax. This medication can increase the effects of alcohol.
    http://cheapxanaxonline.org/?p=101
    Avoid using other medicines that make you sleepy. They can add to sleepiness caused by Xanax.
