You do SUCH a good job of not assuming that people already know certain things. You explain it just in case. As a beginner, this is so comforting. Thank you!

Great video, a few workflow tips.
1. ctrl-shift-a to select none.
2. Instead of making two rects/circles, you can use select-shrink to clear the inside of a selection. It also allows you to control the size of the border with pixel precision.

This is the best GIMP tutorial I have seen on youtube so far. Also explains a lot about how layers work in GIMP. Thank you.

Thank you for putting all this free content out here. I have NEVER done ANY design work and I've watched and worked along with two of your videos and created both images. I am so excited to keep learning and creating!

I really appreciated the fact that while this tutorial and the logo we are making is super simple and easy, it tremendously focuses on how the layer mechanics work. Im amazed by how helpful this is, you earned a serious subscriber sir!🔥🔥🔥

This was really informative. It took me 3 hours to make my first logo after watching this. Now I make one in 10 minutes.

I used to listen Glen Miller's in my grandad radio car, lots of memories come to me. Very nice job with your videos.

This is probably one of the videos with most value I have found. Thank you so much it helped me a tone.

It's better practice to not deselect after creating the circle and then shrinking the selection. That way you are sure the center is not skewed ;) Thanks for sharing your insight on this! Much appreciated!

I’ve learned so much from your tutorials. I feel like I have a decent grasp on Gimp, Inkscape on the other hand, not so much haha. Thank you for uploading these videos!

[tadeuferreira]

I can't thank you enough for this! I've managed to follow each step, and add my personnal touch so I can make the logo for my channel!

Click, Ctrl + Shift.OMG! Thanks dude. This makes many things so much easier😍👌🏽

Fantastic presentation. You've presented this as if you were teaching a new hire exactly how to follow this procedure. No fluff, all info. Liked and subscribed.

I'm new to this software, and Nick is a beast. Your videos are awesome. Fast enough to keep my ADD self watching the videos, but not to fast where I have no idea what you did.

Wowow!!! Fantastic tutorial. I've been using the Gimp for about ten years now just using the built in logos, and now you have taught me how to actually design something! Just want to say a big thank you :)
