Course Structure

There is a huge educational gap in the design industry. We had to learn everything the hard way, but it shouldn’t be like that for you. We’ve designed a curriculum that teaches the required skills to work as a brand designer without spending a fortune on college courses. Each lesson will teach you a specific design theory, provide interactive assignments for practice, and then challenge you with realistic client projects to improve your visual problem-solving skills.

For Beginners

Scavenging through resources to find tidbits of information is wasted time that you’re not using to design. LogoCore’s curriculum was crafted to take an absolute beginner to an intermediate level for them to start accepting freelancing brand identity projects comfortably. Self-taught designers need to spend more time improving their art direction rather than lose precious time to software and workflow issues.

Join thousands of students in our best-selling course to learn logo design, presentation techniques, brand style guides, and logo animation to kickstart a career in brand design.

LogoCore has taught me how to plan and execute logo designs properly. I learned many behind-the-scenes techniques that I would have never considered beforehand.

I would really like to applaud the team at LogoCore for their visual identity design course. Their curriculum on logo design, grids, and motion design really helped me sharpen my skills as a designer. The video lessons are easy to understand, and the super friendly instructor is always on standby for whatever queries one might have. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend this to anybody looking to learn logo design.

LogoCore is one of the best online design courses. This course has taught me how to create professional logos, develop presentations for the client, and design a style guide for the final logo. They have video tutorials with homework but don't worry, you will not be alone. The instructors will always help you and give you advice on how to improve. I definitely recommend this course, I've learned a lot!

In my opinion the courses at LogoCore are the best courses out there. I expected some basic Illustrator class when I first signed up but I was pleasantly surprised how detailed and informative the whole class was. Thank you so much for offering such amazing content.

LogoCore is an amazing course for beginners. It is well worth your money and Kiril, one of the instructors, is available to help you out through the live chat. He is a fantastic teacher that is easy to follow and makes his videos interesting to watch. I would highly recommend this course!

LogoCore have helped with technical questions and indulged in conversations about different strategy methods and nerd logo discussions. Having the instructor as a resource I can rely on when I get stuck or just being able to ask design & strategy related questions really sets Logocore apart from other courses. I highly recommend Logocore to those who need a good framework to start with.

As someone who was frightened at the skill set that logo design posed, I was hesitant to dive into it. LogoCore made that process hassle-free and fun. Tons of skills can be learned from this class as well as stuff you never would have thought mattered but are crucial. I recommend LogoCore to anybody pursuing logo design.

How is logo design taught in this course?

 

We’ve spent over four years continuously refining the course to understand the most effective way to teach logo design. We’ve been working with students to understand common struggles and adjust the lessons based on their feedback. The entire curricum is designing to teach creatives the essential skills to freelance as brand identity designers.

 

Our priority is to equip students with the applicable theory and then introduce them to realisitic client projects. Each video lesson pushes a student to learn through a cycle of theory, homework practice, real-world design problem solving, and then repeating the process to strengthen their personal art direction.

What does the personal Mentorship include?

 

We treat Mentorship students as if they were designers working in our studio. Their progress is closely monitored, have on-demand access to the instructors to ask questions, and each of their designs are carefully reviewed to provide insightful feedback.

 

Mentorship students can request video feedback on any design. There are no limits to the amount of feedback sessions that they can request.

 

Feedback is limited to six months after submitting the first homework or design for critique. The course’s videos, content, homework, and downloadable files will still be available after the Mentorship period is over.

 

Will I receive a certificate after the course?

 

Students in select programs can request a certificate once they complete our curriculum and requested homework assignments. We award certificates when a student can design a functional visual identity for a minimum of three assigned creative briefs. Students that receive a certificate are promoted by LogoCore to our hiring partners.
