You might think all the rest of the heavy lifting would be up to me at this point, but Logoist took the original idea of the three stacked words with the T encased in a box, and then showed me a ton of variations on this theme.įor example, they showed me one with the Ts encased in a purple box with a reflection on the bottom. It wasn’t that it was perfect, it was that it gave me the vision that I could modify it to be something awesome. They showed the three words one above the other with the three Ts encased in a black box. When I saw the stacked options, that’s when my eyes lit up. Stacked Suggestions for Taming the Terminal They’ve got sections for them – frames around the words, futuristic, stacked, classic, font effects – so many different styles to help inspire your own creativity. The next page showed me over 200 different logo options for Taming the Terminal. The next page says you can enter a tagline which would be cool, but I moved on.

Logoist comes with a vast array of templates to get you started, and then they guide you through options to modify what you see so that your design, in the end, is your very own. This is where Logoist 4 from Synium shines /logoist. When it comes to logo design and other kinds of artwork for the podcast, I don’t necessarily know what I want, and I need inspiration. You have to create from whole cloth as the saying goes. I think one of the problems is that traditional tools for creating art first open with a blank slate and a bunch of tools. I’ve tried to use them for real projects, but they’re very daunting applications to me. The art and designs other people create with these tools are simply astonishing. To back up a little bit, I have 2 very powerful vector graphics tools at my disposal: the free Vectornator Pro from vectornator.io/… and the even more advanced $50 Affinity Designer from Serif /…. I’ve done some work with it over the years, but when they released Logoist 4 this year I was definitely hooked.
