Im looking to find a graphic designer that could create a logo for my channel.
If you could put me in touch with someone that could or you can yourself thatd be great!!
Thanks in advance!!
 
@F4celess helped me a great deal with creating mine. Granted it was just a sketch, it was really helpful.

I heard of fiverr.com although I can't comment on them as I never used them.
 
Mixed reviews about fiverr. Although $5 isn't much to see some ideas before committing much more.
 
Fiverr is fantastic if you do your research properly on the individual you hire. If you don't then you're gambling on the quality.

I made my own and I'd suggest doing the same as, just like with making videos, you will learn new skills in doing so.
 
I am trying to make my own or thinking of asking a friend who knows me really well, reason being is for me a logo is something that has to be relevant (motorcycle related) and something that has a bit of you as a person (or on-line persona) in it, and unless the person you're hiring is a fan then they can't quite get that personal touch.. BUT YES $5 for a rough preview isn't bad.
 
The whole deal with Fiverr is that they offer you a cheap "demo" of their services with premade assets in the hope that you would buy into their actual services, at the rates they demand. Also, the $5 deal is for a bare minimum, no time spent doodle.
Point is, Its a bad market culture which makes clients think these things are cheap and easy to do, when in fact it takes years of practice and dedication to learn graphic design skills.

I'm able to do a complete logo for you, PM me if you are interested. My rates are negotiable. Previous work can be seen here. Its old, as I haven't been able to publish recent work as much due to deals.
 
I'd grab yourself some kind of design software and have a think about what you might like in your design and just throw ideas about. If you get stuck on something there are always tutorials on YouTube to help and a big knowledge base on here too.

My logo started out as a sprocket with 2 spanners in a cross with an outline of my helmet in the center. It was to busy so I started stripping it down until I got to what it is now. Its not amazing but I'm happy with it.

A logo is a symbol of your own style as such, so I think making one of your own even if it is simple to start with, then you can build on it as you develop your skills is definitely the way to go.

I drew mine out with a pencil and paper and then used photoshop to finish it. The main thing is to think of an idea that you like then look at other things that are similar, then come up with your own take on it. In my case it was nose art and unit insignia from WWII Night Fighter/Bomber Squadrons. I looked at pix of the real thing, then drew my own version with the bat holding a cartoon bomb, which was red, like my Ducati. Bata bing! I have a logo! I can't even draw that well, so I'm sure anyone can do it. Probably even better if you know how to use more computer based stuff rather than a pencil and paper.
 
i made mine originally on paper with sharpie makers then i made it on paint then i went to order stickers they said the detail wasn't good enough so they made it better for a fee
 
If you draw/doodle or use any format that the sticker cutting/printing machine cannot read then the shop will have to re-do (basically redraw the lines) and save into a format that the machine can read. Normal formats are .ai (Adobe Illustrator) and other formats which I can't recall right now. If the shop charges to redraw the image, make sure you get a copy of that new file, you paid for it.

Just to be clear, .jpg .gif .png are not formats the machine can read. If you just want a logo and not for making sticker, you can use any image format.

having used fiverr myself for a few things, overall I've been happy. Just look at the users work, look at their description of service to see if you get what you want. A lot of people offer one or two revisions for free, some people dont offer any at all. have to watch out for that as if you aren't happy with the first design, and want it revised they may or may not do it for free.

overall though like i said it's been good in my experience. It's $5 in most cases, and in most cases I've ended up tipping the user for excellent work.
 
I used a free logo creator software. messed around for a couple hours and came up with the concept that i fell in love with and which im currently using. I plan on improving the logo to look better and more crisp. It was def very rewarding to create something myself when i felt i couldnt

I don't really trust those. They're just a bunch of generic images just lumped together. A good logo needs to be designed from the ground up by a skilled person :)
