Good luck with your own logo. I find myself to be my toughest client, I don’t know if you are the same, but when there is all that pressure to design to me own expectations, I tend to hit walls all the time.

Karthick,

Thanks. I’m glad you found it inspiring.

The brainstorming process is only one portion of designing a logo. I see it as step two. Beyond that, special training does come in. You need a strong understanding of typography–knowing why one serif works better over another in a given situation and how to properly work with kerning and leading, etc. Knowing how color affects people’s perception. Not to mention, the technical base of how to create clean vector art. The ability to draw. Understanding the impact of concepts. The list goes on.

Looked at your sketches and thought about the brainstorming process you had there to make a logo, I have looked at David’s blog on sketches of his 554 degree logos.

My conclusion is its a long path to make a logo may be short for the experienced. But it’s all about visualizing and thinking and making a rough sketch on paper, not special training goes there.

So I need your guidance I am PHP Developer and have the confidence to make logo’s I understand the process the Brainstorming and then Sketching my Question is what training do I need to start making logos.

As I mentioned my skills above if you like to trade by teaching me how to make logos and I can do websites for you in PHP/MySQL - Ajax or making XHTML layout from a screenshot then I am here.

Thank you for the compliments.

Hmmm, I’m not quite sure about the font on #42. It’s definitely not the most readable font and I’m not sure how it would deal with S, C, and O.

I also like the font in #42, wonder if it would work with my name?
