A short YouTube monologue by Jeremy Mura where he recounts designing his very first logo using Photoshop (before knowing Illustrator). He reflects on how the design looked bad, frames this as part of the learning process for designers, and encourages persistence and practice, inviting viewers to share their own first-logo stories.
Did you know my first ever logo was actually done in Photoshop? And this is what I did. It's pretty bad. I didn't even know Illustrator at the time. I just knew Photoshop because that's what I learned in high school. And so after high school, I just started using Photoshop and that was the first logo I created. I had a friend who wanted to do some PT business or clothing line or something, and I created this for them. I'm pretty sure I did it for free and it was a free job. I was like, oh, yeah, I'll try to do a logo, man. And I just did it in Photoshop. I was using all these layer styles. I was trying to make it look 3D and cool, but it just wasn't working. It just looks really, really bad. We all start somewhere, and being a logo designer, you know, you just got to get better, taking action and working with more clients, and then you'll get better. The first 50 logos you create are probably going to be pretty bad. So just a reminder, you know, keep working at your passion, at your craft, being a great designer, and doing the best work you can for clients. Let me know your story. What was your first logo that you did?
