Logo Design Contest - Reviewed by Graphic Designer

We have been reviewing design and illustration contests for a while on our channel. This time I’m really proud to showcase a logo design project, where the winner is one of our students. He joined our Pro Membership program to improve his design skills and within 2 months he managed to win the very first design contest he entered. Let’s see how he pulled it off!

[foufoufifi]

I want to known where you get this icons because they insiste to not use icônes from internet or other application what should do ☹️

[expectationlost]

How do you have access to the submissions?

[allagligora]

Thank you, such useful tips!!! I will for sure use them now!

[redtheredhairedlady]

Why aren't you publishing any more videos ? ❤

[GVarunKumar]

Nice video, very helpful. I have one question, in the design C1, instead of the blue circle around K9 if the designer had used dogs Head and K9 on top of it, would that have worked?...

[FordExplorer-rmew]

Bro I suck at this design stuff, but have to source static assets for project.

Do you know what kind of design programs there are to use for 32 bit Windows?

[ItzAzeem]

I'm gonna learn alot from this...
Thanks Mr. Martin ❤️

[mdpiash]

How to submit flyer design? please let me know...

[twesterman]

Very good advice I can take into my own work.

[valentinj]

The outlines around the text in C3 kinda looks like a bone, maybe that's why it was added ?

[shailmoktan]

after watching this video. my voice came "woooow".
reaLLY this is a great tip for logo designers

[moamensayed]

Great
I wish more videos like that, please.

[KumanovskaTarana]

Nice Contest Review, tho I would say for Ur apprentice submission it would be more appealing if his design was squared with rounded box coz the company has serious job thus emphasizing that the work is precise rather than free ... also I like the friendly dog face that rings positive message for future clients, and maybe that round box in this case should be connecting the image just from the ends but coz symmetry also emptied at the upper right corner of that box ... color hm simplicity rulz but using behind shadow example in orange color along the left contours could also stand up even in smallest prints later of this winning logo ... some even Happier People will say why that Dog dont have magnifier in his mouth :) Cheers ...

[KharismaAnkh]

But sometimes the contest holder choose whatever he like the most.... Which is subjective

[HaniHassan]

Good critique indeed, btw are you ok with the winner's design typo?

[Navigator]

Loved the video. The little round circle??? It’s a baggy. ;-)

[bokormester]

Te véletlenül nem beszélsz magyarul?:D Kicsit olyan a kiejtésed.

[laurencegr]

It looks like a pet shop logo. If it's a bomb-sniffing dog then the design should be more masculine.

Here are the best design tips of my life:
1: Nobody actually cares about your company logo. Not your clients, not people you sell to, not even your family. With one exception.
The only people who will nitpick about your logo are other designers who want to legitimize their importance, drive up their prices, and sell you there services.



2: Stop trying to tell your life story in your logo. See reason #1 and repeat.
