This useful resource from a few years back will help you get started

Reader tinycc6 recently posted an interesting challenge-slash-inquiry on the Core77 discussion boards, writing,

"Is there any way to learn about logo design in one week?

This question reminded us of a helpful video we came across from a few years back via LinkedIn's Learning Solutions YouTube channel.

The video is detailed and informative, yet quick enough to get you started with sketching and experimenting by this afternoon.

Now get to work!

Have any more resources or references that can help people learn more about logo design? Contribute your thoughts in the original discussion board or in the comment thread below!
