Cool tutorials. I especially liked the tutorial for the 3D logo. Been trying to design a logo for myself and it was a disaster! I decided to use the professional services of an online logo design site instead (http://www.logodesignplanet.co.uk) and finally got the logo I wanted at an affordable price and fast too. Lesson learned. I’m not going to design a logo without any professional help though it’s fun. And liberating. Haha.
