love this one Nick. The only thing I did differently was I took a copy of the logo in black, added a blur and dropped it to 60% opacity to place it below the main logo as a drop shadow.

Nick, why is the "Cut" option not working for me? The first two cuts worked perfectly. However, when I tried to cut the circle, it wouldn't work. After some experimentation, I realized the path of the diamond wasn't intersecting the circle (by the tiniest amount) and so wouldn't do the cut. I manually moved the vectors to overlap, but I want to know - why did I have to do this? Why did it work in your video? I know Inkscape has changed, but is there a setting or something that can fix this?

@NHGeneral Жыл бұрын

yes, I have the same problem too. But after work around a little bit a finally get the shape like in this lesson, I think it lies on the "object to path" command, in my case DON'T.

@elibauer32 Жыл бұрын

@@NHGeneral Well, you need to change the object to a path in order to use the "Cut" option as far as I'm aware.

Hi Nick. Great tutorial, as usual :). Just had one problem with recreating the logo. When i apply the stroke to path function to the logo, the mountains lose their peak. So they have like an M shape at the top of the mountain instead of an A shape. Any idea where i might have messed up? Thank you and keep up the good work!

At 5:54, the cut path doesn't work with inkscape 1.2.1, but works with inkscape 0.92.5. Guess it is a bug of 1.2.1.

@LogosByNick 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks roxoxo. 1.) There's not too much of a difference between Inkscape and Illustrator. Once you've mastered one of them, you can pick up the other in a matter of days. I recently started using Illustrator for some client projects and I haven't run into much problems. It just functions slightly differently. Regarding rights to this photo - I got it from a copyright-free website (Pixabay.) Usually you have to pay for stock photos.

Great tutorial as always Nick, as described in some comments below though o am also getting stuck around 6:26 where you delete the two bottom curves of the circle. I have tried several times but they will not delete. Any thoughts you could share would be great!

Can't wait to try this! Also a personal request, can you teach us how to do an Inkscape vector of those images where it's a person's face, but basically posterized, and then each shade is changed into a different color. For example, the red and blue Obama campaign posters from 2008. And I'd love for you to do more Inkscape tutorial that deal with manipulating images and portraits into vectors in general, thanks! :)

hello Nick, Thank you for this beautiful video. I tried the steps on my computer but I got stuck on 6:26 where you delete those two curves. I tried many times but it ends up in deleting the entire circle or semi. If you could me on this then I will be much happier than ever :)

Hi nick, thanks for the tutorials, they're great. I just have a question. When I get to 11:10, and I convert the stroke to path, the points of my mountains disappear and a V forms at the top of them 😕 do you (or anybody else) have any idea why? Thanks again

@LogosByNick 7 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure. Sounds like it might be a glitch - these things happen sometimes when converting strokes to paths. I've had errors similar to that myself. I would try doing it at a different size or stroke thickness, maybe even pasting everything into a new document and trying it there.

@tom69821 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you, i shall do just that when i get home, it's frustrating when you follow every step perfectly and something goes wonky right at the end! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

This has probably been answered many times but why work with pixels as a unit type?

@LogosByNick 7 жыл бұрын

Good question. It's just what I'm most familiar with. Most of what I create gets used digitally and for the web, and pixels is usually the main unit of measurement for everything.

They really should add a 'Duplicate' option in the Transform tool, then making the sunrays pattern will be a lot easier

Hello. I followed your tutorial and created this mountain logo. But when i put this logo on instagram profile pic then the background is black and logo is hardly visible. this problem diesnt happen in facebook. Any idea how to solve this problem. One more thing when i download the pic as png the logo is having white background but as soon as i put this on insta profile the background turns to black. Strange

@elibauer32 2 жыл бұрын

I assume it's because the background is just transparent, and different sites have different ways of filling in transparency. I would fill in the background with a white rectangle.
