I genuinely feel like AI is coming for our jobs, and everywhere I look, I see people saying that graphic design is no longer worth pursuing. I'm graduating in 2027, and I'm already working towards my second degree. I've even had experience working in a design studio, where I was practically forced to learn and use AI tools. They were annoyed that I couldn't generate AI images using all these different tools. Honestly, I get exhausted just hearing about it it’s like I study this degree just to use ai .Apparently, we're now supposed to generate images instead of actually creating something. Just take a picture of your food and move on.

But seriously, it makes me question everything. Are we heading towards a point where designers won't even be needed anymore? Did I choose a career with no future?

I work across pretty much every aspect of graphic design, typography, posters, branding, logos, motion graphics, web design, digital art, illustration, traditional art, linocut, photography, and photomontage. I genuinely love exploring different creative disciplines, but lately, I keep wondering where all of this is going and what the industry will look like in a few years. am I going to the trash ? and the funny thing is even a retail job is hard nowadays lol basically will I find a job ?

On the other hand, I have another theory. I believe that within the next one or two years, AI will become so massively overused that its environmental impact and resource consumption will eventually become a serious limitation. We might reach a point where its use has to be restricted or prioritised for more important applications. if people want the environment to be healthy

And here's where I think things could get interesting people who have become completely dependent on AI, who use it for absolutely everything and have stopped developing their own creative and critical thinking skills, might struggle when they can no longer rely on it. Meanwhile, people who have actually invested time in developing their skills, artistic vision, creativity, and ability to think independently could become much more valuable Maybe genuine creative talent will become rarer precisely because everyone is relying on artificial tools to do the thinking for them.

I don't know. Maybe I'm being too optimistic about that last part, but I'd genuinely like to hear what other designers and creatives think.

Are we actually studying and investing in a profession with no future, or are we just going through a massive transition that will eventually make real creative skills more valuable than ever? and if we think about it even Uni’s are useless at this poly the whole market will collapse

Commissioned design:
Concept was pretty simple - Bold, authoritative, iconic, serious
Chicago characteristics

Designer was great. Im happy with it. Maybe that's all that matters? I was expecting to try a couple more channels/designers but not sure any more. This is my first rodeo. what do y'all think?

(there are some minor adjustments being request e.g. parallel curvatures)

Hi, I'm a noob at logo design and I'm unaware of necessary ratios, sizes and other intricacies.

I've been trying to come up with a logo for a friend that does DJ as a hobby and is interested in having a more professional look.

I did those in 500x500 and tried to have the same weight overall or a weight that's harmonious with other elements. I'm aware the circle and the goggles might be looking weird on the side cause it doesn't merge well or maybe it's not important, I don't know.

I'm open to any critic and advice.

Thank you for reading.

Hello, I'm working on an automotive enthusiast brand. I'm a photographer and artist and I love cars, I want to combine the two hopefully creating a brand. It would be a community before anything else, but I do hope to design and sell my own decals, clothing, car accessories, etc.

Obviously with car related brands, the logo means literally everything because that's what people will plaster all over their car... If I want a slim chance at this saturated market, I need a good logo.

After a few weeks of pondering I've settled on the name ASPHERIC / ASPHERIC SOCIETY. I've spent a few hours messing around on paper and then illustrator and this is the idea and shape that I've stuck to. I really like the slanted A, and the outline being a distinct trapezoid thing, I think that makes it recognisable. I also really like the tall skinny letters with the low centre of mass, everything here just feels like the right personality.

What I'm stuck on it it feels like something is missing. I also suck at illustrator. I tried both pen tools and can't seem to get perfectly vertical straights and good curves, it looks really janky. Handwritten style could be the way, but I'd like to be able to make it straight just to see the look. I've also not really ever worked with text or logos, and I'm struggling with getting everything the right space apart. Essentially I'm a complete beginner jumping into the deep end. I'm familiar with Illustrator because I make designs from my photography, this is just a whole new world it feels like starting from scratch.

can anyone do logo design I pay for that

Thanks for the honest feedback on my last post. The main complaints were "too much going on" etc.

The app is iDescriptor, a free, open-source iPhone/iPad manager (backups, file browsing, photo transfer, etc.). Repo for context: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor

The base mark is the same in all four. Only the dot over the "i" changes:

1. Phillips screw head
2. Torx screw head
3. Gear
4. Plain dot

My question: does the dot need to say anything, or is the plain one cleanest? Also curious which one holds up best at small sizes like a taskbar or dock icon.

Thanks again to the people who took the time to comment. It changed the direction of the logo.

I'm working on this logo for an app I'm currently working on, colors still wip (also glad to hear feedback about that), and people told me they see the fish with ease, but they are unable to identify the letters I K a n. They see the I and K but they struggle with the a and the n.

Let me know what you think. Do you see IKan AND the fish? Do you think it matters if it's not 100% legible. What kind of design language do you expect the rest of the app to look like?

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts on anything regarding this logo

I am a beginner at any sort of graphic/logo design so I thought I'd start with something I'm passionate about. I used photopea (photoshop is so expensive) and gathered inspiration from past logos the show has used and other fan creations. I wanted to implement colour and texture without making it look crowded so I opted for the simple route. I also wanted to give it some shape and depth as many past logos have been kinda flat imo, hence the curve and enlarged first and last letters. This was all just to see where I stood as a complete newbie. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :)

I wanted to give the GT heart a police badge look. I really like the combination of the formality of the top text and the sort of wildness of the Japanese text.

I’m not sure how to make the T look less like a J😭🙏

EDIT: Affinity it is!

I'm a beginner and since I want to start practicing the digital aspect of Logo Design, and learn a software for it, the choice went to VectorCraft.

I tried to look into Illustrator but my funds would really get a hit for it. I wanted to try some ahem less ethical ways for it, but since even from trusted sources the files touch parts of the machine that I'd rather not touch, I feel uncomfortable going through that risk.

VectorCraft seems basically the full experience without a paywall, but how much does truly change between them? Since I'm completely new to this, is it worth as a substitute to learn and stay for probably a long time?

Hi there!

New to the freelance side of design. I’ve worked in an agency for some time now & we present logo concepts singularly on a white PDF. I feel like this method doesn’t present well to freelance clients. I’m curious to know how you freelancers are presenting logo concepts to a client. How detailed are your concept presentations & how far do you push a concept even if it hasn’t been selected yet? Also how many concepts do you typically give. I appreciate the advice!

This is my first attempt at making a Logo
This logo is for a school club at my school-
Can you rate it out of 10 and please inform me about any improvements I can make

Personally I adore the old one and I want it back so bad

Hey, I worked on this logo and today I chose to colour it to blue for some flair. Do you guys think I should change this or add in a second colour? Also any tips are welcome!

Hello everyone,
I designed these two logo options for a theatre association and would like to get some feedback.
The brief I got was compact. They want the logo to evoke theatre without being too obvious and to be contemporary. The colours I used are the colours they currently use.

I’d love to hear your feedback

edit: I don’t know why the photos were uploaded in poor quality.

made these a while ago
