7 years later, the video information is still valid. Thank you.

I just wanted to say that I learn quite a few new things every time I watch a video from you about Inkscape. You seem to talk clearly enough that the auto-generated subtitles are mostly sane enough to follow. (I'm deaf)

This video revealed the steps I needed to create my first logo that was necessary to begin my business marketing, thankyou.

This is the single greatest inkskape tutorial I've seen so far. I'll be picking up your classes soon. Thank you for this one.

Thanks for helping me learn Inkscape Nick, I've held off on purchasing Adobe because I can't afford it at this time in life. Inkscape has been my saving grace, and your videos have become my favorite way to learn this program.

Hey Nick, thanks so much for this tutorial. It allowed me to quickly learn what I needed to know in less than a week to finalize a logo for a friends podcast. Never would have been able to do so without your clear instructions.

really nice tutorials, but i did find it quite difficult to follow along with the current version of inkscape, trying to find how to enable snapping where for you it was on from the get go, object menu being a drop down and not a seperate row, buncha small differences which added up, eventually got through it, but would love to see an updated tutorial!

Just watched this on the Inkscape web and came here to subscribe and like the video :). Thanks for the tutorial and make it really easy to follow by a noob like me. I was searching for a CorelDraw alternatives. Will watch all your videos about Inkscape!

I love your tutorials. Found myself a new hobby

[sphillips]

Thanks Nick. This really helped me get a grip on Inkscape. Still studying Adobe Illustrator CS3 off and on for years but this tutorial was beast with a logo design. I had the latest version which was different than the tutorial one, but just had to learn the location of the actions to take with latest version to match yours. Great tutorial

[johnnygott]

[seemsas]

... and as always: Thank you for teaching!

Hi Nick,
Where's the link to the color scheme and custom icons you mentioned at 0:37 ?
Thanks

[BlueCardinal]

How am I only discovering you now. 100% I am buying your course pack. Like holy shit, you should charge 70 or more for it!

For anyone at the last step on 21:25 getting a wonky coin instead of a nice cut:
Select the circle, goto Object > Flip Vertically (V) to flip the circle, then deselect, select the red diamond, select the circle, then goto Path > Cut path (P)

hope this helps : )

Thanks Nick. I'm a newbie but I'm trying! I appreciate your time!

[skyyward]

Thank you for this tutorial, I learned so much from your step by step explanations and just by following along.

[brendacollins]

Thanks so much for your videos! I've been stumbling around Inkscape for years and you answered about 10 unanswered how-to's just in one video. I have just started using it to make custom labels and was thrilled to find out about the clone command! I will have to look into your library and see if you have any videos on labels and/or cloning. If you have a link to one - I'd love to watch one. It's your little tips that really help the most!

[catallaxy]

Thank you Nick! Your tutorials are clear and honest, and of course, excellent! I'm going to share this with my companions.
