Logos shouldn’t be created in Photoshop ever. They should be created in Illustrator so they are scalable to any project print or web.
Great list you have here..I’m passing it all around.
Not necessary! You should combine Photoshop with Illustrator…
Incredible tutorial collection and very useful. Thanks for a top post!
those are some of the most awesome designs i hve ever seen..
Indeed! Are pretty awesome!
My pleasure @O Pop
A good group of usefull lessons but…
Rule number 1.
Create the logo in illustrator first with flat colors so it will work when you need to screen print or embroider it!
Then you can play with photoshop effects.
Thanks for sharing Nick!
