This week we have  gathered some of the better tutorials for designing logos. While they’re certainly not complete, these just sort of stood out from the rest. I almost NEVER advocate using Photoshop for designing logos, but it does work. For the best design work of this sort, use Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign! These tutorials will help you develop your own design processes for designing logos.

On all the pages except Chuck’s, always look out for broken links. I cannot believe how many people on the web allow their content links to go dead! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Anyway, if you hit a dead link please tell me about it!
