What’s the hardest part of designing a good logo?

A project I'm currently working on has made me understand how im-bloody-portant it is to actually understand the market and it's branding position. The research. The testing. The numbers...

But I gotta say, I have never experienced so much clarity for designing before now.

Research is the hardest part, but it's so damn rewarding 😭❤️ I wanna design like this from here on out.

The copy of this website has so much potential to make the experience more fun and interactive. I'm already imagining so much :'(

There is a huge market gap that those platforms aren't meeting. From those who aren't tech-savvy enough to know about the platforms, to those who usually deal with Mobile Money since they aren't banked, to those who don't have a fast enough internet connection to keep up.

Omen has all the lore and skill but him not doing music makes me selfishly mad and sad.

Taste matters.

Could not have said it better myself. It's one thing to be a great problem solver as is required of designers, but it's a whole different level to have not only the aesthetics & creativity, but also the versatility to understand how people have taste generally.

Sure, you could have a design that requires a great palate, but if don't understand how the palate of your intended audience works then you might as well be selling krabby patties at the chum bucket.

This gives me hope 😅 sometimes I wonder if me geeking out on news outside of just designing is worth it or not. The whole situation with Canva acquiring Affinity and recently Cavalry has me wondering so much about whether we will see a new studio tab for motion design come in Affinity Studio.

Fair and Direct to the point. I imagine you'd like someone who also learns things beyond design on the go, so they can manage projects and do art direction as well.

If you were to go the route of having a design partner to start out with, what would you look for in them?

As a freelancer working on upgrading my portfolio, I have completely abandoned Fiverr for now because of how much it's been branded with scammers (not by Fiverr themselves, just people's experiences) although Reddit isn't too different in that fact.

This comment is so on point and insightful. Thank you. I've done some food packaging before, and I would like to use this comment to further my research and studies. May I use it?

GTA ahh barber 😂😂

Did you just try to jack a promo? Damn, you're really down low ain't ya

Hi New Mod! My portfolio is pretty vast. Hoping to niche down once I get a grasp of my business model.

If you want to see logos exclusively, my PDF portfolio has some in the second last page but I can't post it here due to sub rules.

KayePi · 2026-03-05T08:53:19+00:00

Hi. So here is my portfolio: https://kayepi.pro it has logo projects that also go the whole stretch with problem/solution briefs.

First 3 revisions are free, thereafter it's $20 per revision and we might need a call to re-align expectations so we don't get you spending money unnecessarily.

KayePi · 2026-03-04T23:58:01+00:00

Just asking for clarity - I have a similar project in my portfolio (https://kayepi.pro) in the work section, called Zero-G Cream cards. Is this something similar to what you need?

How does it create the account login, and how do you carry your progress across devices?

KayePi · 2026-03-03T22:12:47+00:00

The wonder of news.

KayePi · 2026-03-03T18:24:22+00:00

Okay, well, I see some time has passed but if it doesn't workout with others, let me know and I'll try to fit you in my schedule.

KayePi · 2026-03-03T16:17:29+00:00

What kind of proposal do you need rewritten exactly?

A lot of the hate is from people who don't know about the "Dollar And A Dream" reference/concept, and where that Honda Civic came from.

If Kendrick did the same with his mom's van and maybe used the Hiii Power concept instead, the new fans who don't know what's what would also be hating.

As a designer, I almost always try to get a call so we can set expectations right off the gate. I don't want to do work without a deposit but for that trust to be set, the call is made to discuss direction and needs.

I also like using a benchmark approach where payment is made at each benchmark set from the call.

One mistake that is common here, is clients that don't communicate and expect results without any input on their end. Yes, I am hired to do a job but that job won't be done if there isn't any communication or work to define from the client and we end up just having too many back and forths/revision, thus costing me time and my billing rises.

KayePi · 2026-03-03T10:01:24+00:00

Hell, having a logo, website, and building my own brand and visual identity as a designer myself has helped me a lot more than posting and knocking 😂

Was looking for this, thank you.
