Hello Twitter users! Follow @logolitic on twitter to stay update to the latest news from blog and other design news/resources/inspirations etc.
Weekly I`m going to post 10 people recommended for you to follow. People that have to do with design, that post design news/resources/inspiration etc. So follow me on Twitter and if you post interesting things about design I`ll recommend you to other users to follow you.
I recommend just the people who follows me not the ones that I follow because a lot of them you already follow and you already know because are very popular. In this way, we promote and made known people that posts very interesting things about design and they are not very popular.

The first part of “How to design a successful logo” was the information part that every designer should ask for because these informations are very important and also as much informations as you get you will become more inspired and the logo will represent very well the company.

What details we need from the client about his company

When you have a logo project you have to get as more as possible details about the client company. You have to ask him to give you all details about his company, like:

Are you looking for photoshop tutorials and you don`t find anything interesting or are you wasting too much time ?

If you get started designing logos I`ll learn you how to make a “ready to sell” logo. What I mean with “ready to sell” ? Well I`ll put this question myself to give you the answer without asking. Let`s say that you want to participate to a contest design for a random company, like a construction company, but you don`t know in what kind of program you can design, and how can be used. I recommend you to use Adobe Illustrator because in this program all you design it`s vector and very high quality (vector logo = scaleable, you can resize / print it keeping the high quality).
I personally first time I used Adobe Photoshop, but this program it`s used more for other things like modifing images: photo manipulations, effects etc, not for vectors. When I realized this I changed my direction to Illustrator, and It was a little bit hard because it`s very different, and the change is big! But I learnt Illustrator from zero without help from tutorials. I learnt just working, working and working at logos every day, participating in logo contests, seeing a lot of designs from the best designers arround the world, I inspired from them, I tried to make what I couldn`t before etc.  Be careful, I inspired not copied.

Sorry for not posting so much time, but I had some exams and I had to learn for them! But know that I finished with them I`m going to post you one nice article and hopeful you will learn something from this.
