NEW RESOURCE ADDED!

The Practical Guide to Logo Design

You can find this as a downloadable pdf file in
the first lesson of the Design Theory section of
the course.

This resource contains over 100+ pages of

helpful content that goes into further detail
about logo design theory, logo types, logo cate-
gories, logo classifications, the history of logo
design styles, design process, concept develop-
ment, client interactions, sketching, branding
and more. This originally started as a logo de-
sign book and decided to include it in this course
as I felt like it could really help bring some of the
content of the videos to life. PLEASE DO NOT
MISS OUT ON THIS RESOURCE!
This list below is for extra external resources found outside of the course down-
loadable files.
