This one is hideous, right?
And then the other option...
I think it's about time
that I need a new logo. The current one,
look at it, it just doesn't cut it
anymore. And I thought let's do it
properly this time because I can't draw.
So let's hire real designers on Fiverr
and let's see what we can do with it.
Overall I paid a hundred eighty bucks
for four different designs. Just to get a
little bit variety of designs to pick
from. And I thought what kind of design
could we use in general so that it
represents Morningfame well. And of
course, can you guess?
Here is my only decoration piece that I
have. A DIY rocket, a present from my
sister, which is of course based on
something important. Morningfame users
can remember especially in the
beginning some features here are still
locked because Morningfame gathers the
data and it takes some time until the
reports get available. So when you have
this unlock screen here ready then you
can activate the feature and look at
that. Now comes the fun part. Let's go
over to Fiverr. All I did actually is to
search for “logo design” over here.
Something like that. It took me a while longer
to find out what kind of designs I
really like. Vintage logo designs, modern
logo designs, all that. I searched for
it and these are the gigs that are found
in the end. Here we have strongdayart.
Sixty bucks and I really liked this
design. I mean look at it. It's a really
beautifully hand-drawn design. That's
what I cannot do. That's the very reason
why I'm going to Fiverr, right? Next up we
had a designer who is not on Fiverr
anymore unfortunately but I was looking
for a little bit more modern design. So
you can look up polygonal design is...
Polygonal design, polygonal, poly,
polynomal, pully, ...
Polygonal design, yeah, can be a try, worth
a try because who knows what comes out
of it. A rocket in this design would look
really great, right?
Alright. Next up we have iqradesigners.
A little cheaper designer here. But he
does really nice modern logos and that's
also what I would be looking for. So I
hired him. And finally, really great look at
that here, usamasalim. Also a little
bit I would say a medium range price but
I really love this design. Alright, we
have four designers who can all design
the rocket for us and let's see what we
get out of it. The more pricey designer
strongdayart, well with him it was
really smooth, really great. I mean with
sixty bucks
not really pricey you know. But you can
really tell that you invest a little bit
more money here. He contacted me
shortly after I hired him with the
finished design. It was really looking good.
Look at that. He was by the way the only
person who followed my suggestion to
make two rockets. One here on the left
for large logos with more details here,
you see the lines here, and then one with
less details that I can use for small
avatars. Really great. And overall a great
design, right? He showed me that he also
followed my guidelines exactly. Really
great to see that they do it to a tee.
And then with the yellow circle so I
know a little bit more in context
because I will obviously add that later.
So how it looks then. Remember I hired
Rubaika_design to get a polygonal
design. She really did a great job at
that. Again, she's not on Fiverr anymore
unfortunately. This is the finished
design. Well, I expected a little bit more
fancy logo or something. So... Well, let's
see what I can I can do out of it. But by
the way, it's interesting to see here. She
gave me a few other designs like this
one.
This one is hideous, right? Anyway, no one
would ever really do that in this way.
But here you see this is really looking
fancy, right? It's interesting to see like
how you frame the design really makes a
big difference.
I would never print my logo like this
with golden color on it on a velvet
business card or something like that but
just this kind of design, same drawing
makes it so much nicer, right? But this is
not the context I will be using this
logo. So it's nice to see but the
original design here, this is what I need
to use. Next up we have iqradesigners.
And you know I sent this whole package
of instructions how to design the rocket,
right? But then: “Tell me”, “Name of logo”. I
just told him it's everything attached.
Just have a look at the instructions. But
let's see what kind of design I will be
getting with this communication.
I don't know. So we have this one here.
Well yeah, not so bad. And then the other
option. I couldn't use that as a logo,
right? It looks like a free library of
image art that you can get on the
internet.
Well, obviously I chose this one to go
forward with. But I realized, I mean a
logo should be perfect, right? And here
this line on the side is a little bit,
the drawing is a little bit sloppy. So I
asked him, since I get unlimited
revisions, I marked here this line and
asked him to redraw this line. This is
what I got back.
Let me switch again.
Here.
Do you see that? He didn't change
anything. I actually didn't realize that
until now filming the video. So I
proceeded with that and of course
realized that what I wanted to have is
not to have the flame here overlapping
with the hexagon. So I asked him, please
remove this, shorten this a little bit so
it fits into the hexagon. And here's what
I got.
See the difference?
He just cut it off like here.
If you look at the drawing
it's really a simple way to solve that.
I mean I pay not much money, right? But just
a few lines you could redraw them. But
then I thought like, I don't know. By the
way this is what I meant:
Usually these designs have unlimited
revisions, yeah? These unlimited revisions
are not followed by everyone really as
you would expect I would say. So be
careful about that. Certainly make sure
that you get like different initial
concepts so that you have something to
pick from. He said he will give me three.
He only gave me two. But anyway, at least
I got a half decent design out of it for
30 bucks. So I'm okay with that. Alright.
And finally we have usamasalim or
usamasalim. He did a really great job
in the process like you would expect. And
he's even one of the cheaper ones. So
it's not about the price. So here you see
our conversation. He came back to me with
three different designs like he offered
in the gig. So perfect. And obviously not
all the designs are to my taste. It's a
lot about taste, right? But this is the
first design. Here we have the second and
the third. Alright, this is the great
start. Now it's my job to pick the best
one I like, the best we could move
forward with. And my decision was not
this one but this one. This is also a
little bit too simple. So this one was
most to my liking. The
flame doesn't really looked so nice, so I
asked him to redraw this part. But the
rest is quite good. Alright, here is the
final design. Not too bad, right? This
flame is really nicely designed. The only
issue though, we don't have much space
for the flames so that would overlap the
hexagon in my design. But I already asked
him to redraw the whole flame and quite
frankly this whole design, although it is
good, it's not really to my taste. So I
thought why give him more work to do if
I wouldn't use this design in the end
anyway.
But well, here we go. Good job! Alright,
now drum roll. Here are the finished
designs.
Now all rocket designs are ready. Have a
look. Here they are all together. This was
by the way the original that I gave them
as a reference and therefore different
rockets which I can use as a logo now. As
you see I edited in my hexagon, a little bit
of a white border where it's appropriate,
and a shadow so all the logos are in the
same design. Doesn't look bad, right? But
which one can I use as a logo? I added
numbers here. Please let me know what you
think in the poll here! But then again I
thought this kind of black and white
design is a little bit too dull in a
sense. Maybe I can do more with these
logos. So what I did is add a little bit
color. So these are the original designs
and here we go. The color looks nicer now,
right? And by the way, we must not forget
that these logos are not only for the
big website but also as small avatars
anywhere on social media. So I added
those smaller avatars here
for your reference. With the color now,
does it change your opinion what kind of
logo is the best one? Let's do another
poll! Here are the numbers again. Here you go!
What do you think? I quite frankly have
to say, I can't decide.
I have my favorites. I wouldn't tell you
because that would skew the result of
the poll. I look forward to the results
in the poll. See in the cards. And of
course let me know in the comments if
you have any thoughts about what kind of
logo design should I use because, yeah,
let's...
I don't know. I don't know. I will heart
those comments where an interesting
thought, additional thought that I didn't
mention in this video here is added to
our discussion. So you can follow up on
that if you want to engage with the good
thoughts that are added in the comments.
And then of course everything will be
updated. Channel avatar, channel banner,
Morningfame early access banner and all
the material. The homepage of course. I
really look forward to give this whole
thing a new overhaul making it look a
little bit more modern in times where
this product is already established,
loved by many users. The design should
reflect that. Alright, thank you my
friends. See ya!
I promised you a hack how to find out
just write designer for your design
because suddenly there's so much choice
on Fiverr. It's really a drag to find out
the right designer for your job. But I
found out. Look at that. Here we have
strongdayart who really did a great job at
this design for example. So I can expect
something similar. But you never know
these designs, do they tell the full
story of the designers skill set? What I
found out in hindsight, and I recommend
you to do that in advance, is if you look
at the profile of that designer they are
oftentimes offering many different gigs.
Not just the one that you will be
ordering. And here in this case he has a
little bit more pricey gig which has
such incredible designs. Look at that.
Impressive, right? Really street art,
graffiti, kind of in that range, tattoo. I
mean that really tells us he can draw
well. And although this is a little bit
more pricey design and obviously such
detail I don't need in my logo. A logo
should be plain and simple, right? That
tells me he is really skilled at hand
drawing. I hired him for the cheaper gig
where I don't expect that much detail
but I know he is skilled at drawing and
that is the right person to choose from.
So always have a look at the profile
page of the designers to see with the
different gigs, to really see what kind
of skills set they have and if they are
the right person for your job.
