+++This course is continually maintained. New logo design was added in November 2016+++

"This is one of the best courses on Udemy"

"I found this course invaluable in my quest to master logo design and am now going on to the advanced training from Dawid, because I have the utmost confidence in his ability to teach on the subject and am looking forward to learning more from him and developing my skills further."

Have you ever wanted to learn Illustrator and become a logo designer?

Have you ever stuck with your logo design project and couldn't finish it, because you didn't know how to achieve certain effect?

Or maybe you've started to learn Illustrator but stopped, 'cause you didn't see any results of your efforts?

Don't worry. It's not your fault. Many tutorials and courses out there don't really show you how to learn Adobe Illustrator effectively, that is in a practical and simple way, like a logo design.

I am like you: I've watched lots of tutorials and videos on Adobe Illustrator, but they were all missing something: they always left me with an “Ok, so what do I do now?" kind of feeling.

That is why I've decided to put this course together for all of you who are struggling with Adobe Illustrator or simply want to start using it and want to do it practically – in a form of logo design.

Take a look at just a small bit of fascinating knowledge you'll get:

  • 3 in 1 unique bundle: learn illustrator, logo design theory and use the skills in practical examples and case studies. Make your family and colleagues say to you “Wow, when did you learn all this?"
  • From zero to hero: In about 20 minutes design a logo, that Fortune 100 companies spend 6 figures on
  • Hidden Adobe Illustrator tricks and techniques, that will make you a designer in one afternoon
  • Get practical Adobe Illustrator knowledge, that will get you your dream job as a designer, paying as much as $5000 a month

What you get is a unique occasion to finally learn Adobe Illustrator the right and practical way. Say good-bye to pointless clicking and wondering why some things work and others don't. Focus on what you love the most: designing and getting paid for it!

But if you are not interested in any of that, you don't want to learn Adobe Illustrator nor logo design fundamentals, you can just stop reading.

So You've never used Adobe Illustrator before? Great! It means you won't learn anything unnecessary, that other courses try to stuff in your head!

Struggling with Adobe Illustrator and wasting hours to just get things done? No worries. Discover hidden tricks and tips, that will unlock your creative potential!

Enroll in the course and enter the amazing world of design in Adobe Illustrator and start getting paid for doing what you love!

But it's almost never only about the content, right?

Have you ever felt so eager to learn, so interested in the topic, that you couldn't wait to start?

You were gnashing your teeth with excitement, but instead of a sensation of your jaw dropping in awe, your head was falling on your shoulder… because you were so bored you fell asleep.

Boring instructors are worse than boring topics! That's a proven fact!

So trust me, when I say this:

  • This course is all about direct, unique and fun approach. You'll learn not only all the “How's", but most of all, all the “Why's", hopefully giggling from time to time.
  • Your confidence will grow immediately: with every new skill learnt, you'll actually feel you are becoming a pro designer
  • Your skillset will be future-proof. The secret truth about Adobe Illustrator is, that there are techniques that work always. Learn the logic behind them and you will become a total master of Adobe Illustrator, not a “master" of just a single version of it.

Let me make you feel special. Let me guide you through all the Adobe Illustrator fundamentals and build your confidence as a logo designer. All that matters to me is your success!

And, of course, your order is covered by out…

30-day 100% No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee!

Now you may think “Yeah, it all sounds great, but there is a bunch of courses on Adobe Illustrator out there". You got a point there, so let me use the words of one of the greatest thinkers of all time, Confucius:

"Tell me, and I will forget.Show me, and I may remember.Involve me, and I will understand."

And as true, and even as obvious, as it may sound, many courses out there fail in one, most important thing: they don't involve their students in the creation process.

That's why I want to involve you into putting all the skills and knowledge into practice. I want to take you by the hand and show you, what to do with all the unparalleled skills you'll get:

  • Learn the know-how of professional designers. See logo design process from start to finish.
  • Learn how to create top-dollar logos using tools explained in the course. Straight and simple. No monkey-business.
  • See immediate results! Learn how your new skillset can let you produce a professional logo in about 20 minutes.

I vouch for this course. I wish I came across this kind of knowledge, when I was starting out as a designer.

But if, within the 30-day guarantee period, you are not convinced this course is going to make you a great Adobe Illustrator designer…

… simply ask Udemy for a refund, but I really doubt that you will have a reason for it.

You risk nothing.

It's up to you now.

Click that Enroll button and take your first step to creating sensational logo designs, that will supercharge your skills, your career, your wealth, and your life.

To your success,Dawid TumińskiAdobe Certified Expert in Adobe Illustrator CS6

P.S. One more thing…

This is what one of my students, Basim Salim, had to say about this course

I love Dawid's teaching style. He does such a great job of teaching the theory and basics of Illustrator and Logos. Then, he shows practical ways of using it to make your very own logos. After the course I was able to make my own logos that I can now sell and make for my own businesses!

Dawid, I really enjoyed this class. It was thorough, engaging and simply fantastic. You class helped me understand why I wasn't making much progress with a few other Ai courses I've taken in Udemy. That classes just fell short of enable the student to be highly capable after instruction. This class has finally allowed me to fully appreciate Ai and have provided that elusive foundation for using Ai in my art workflow. 5 Stars, highly recommended. I'll certainly be taking some of your other other courses as well.

The course had a lot of information. I was impressed that the instructor continued to add videos even though the course said it was completed. The video quality was great. The instructor also provides documents and the practice files. I would definitely recommend this course and I would consider taking other courses by this instructor.

The content is very informative and you learn a thing or two. The instructor is very good at presenting the content so it is very interesting. You get the basics of logo design with some tricks so that when you have an idea for the logo you have all the knowledge needed to create an awesome logo.

I was a complete beginner in Illustrator and now feel like I have a good skillset in the program to continue on. The logo design projects were nice and the teaching style was entertaining and to the point. I felt that I learned most doing the tutorials so looking forward to more of those. All in all really great course. And well worth the money!
