00:00.570 --> 00:03.480
-: Hey, let's make a brand logo.

00:03.480 --> 00:06.090
One of the easiest ways to do this

00:06.090 --> 00:09.810
is probably to use DALL·E in ChatGPT Plus.

00:09.810 --> 00:11.820
And so just gonna paste in here.

00:11.820 --> 00:13.590
This is a prompt that I tend to use

00:13.590 --> 00:16.170
'logo for {company_name}, which sells {product_type}',

00:16.170 --> 00:18.870
and then I have a few extra pieces here.

00:18.870 --> 00:19.920
I think it's helpful

00:19.920 --> 00:22.920
to make the logo abstract and flat and minimalistic.

00:22.920 --> 00:24.450
Put the word 'vector' in there.

00:24.450 --> 00:27.420
That's useful: it creates the type of logos that I like.

00:27.420 --> 00:29.430
Although you can change this style section

00:29.430 --> 00:31.890
really to anything you need, or anything you like ...

00:31.890 --> 00:34.800
If you want more natural, or skeuomorphism-type stuff

00:34.800 --> 00:35.633
then you can do that.

00:35.633 --> 00:37.650
I also think it's helpful to have a white background

00:37.650 --> 00:40.290
because it changes the types of colors you get;

00:40.290 --> 00:43.224
a white background is the most common use of a logo

00:43.224 --> 00:45.030
and then it makes it easier

00:45.030 --> 00:47.520
to remove the background afterwards.

00:47.520 --> 00:51.990
So I'm going to create this for the company 'Ultra',

00:51.990 --> 00:56.433
which sells men's shaving products.

01:00.690 --> 01:03.600
Paste that in and then ...

01:03.600 --> 01:05.670
I'm just gonna say 'create a logo'

01:05.670 --> 01:07.770
because with DALL·E through ChatGPT

01:07.770 --> 01:08.850
it's more conversational

01:08.850 --> 01:11.583
than you would use a prompt for another tool.

01:12.930 --> 01:14.490
It's creating the image.

01:14.490 --> 01:15.330
While it's creating the image

01:15.330 --> 01:18.660
I usually just type, "show me the prompt you used"

01:18.660 --> 01:20.640
because I think it's quite useful to see

01:20.640 --> 01:22.110
how it interpreted this.

01:22.110 --> 01:23.760
One of the things you might not realize

01:23.760 --> 01:27.426
is that when you use DALL·E 3 through ChatGPT

01:27.426 --> 01:29.970
it will rewrite your prompt for you

01:29.970 --> 01:31.680
and create a better prompt.

01:31.680 --> 01:32.513
So here we go.

01:32.513 --> 01:33.930
That's a pretty cool logo, right?

01:33.930 --> 01:38.010
It's got a razor and then it flips around here

01:38.010 --> 01:39.270
and it's got some stars.

01:39.270 --> 01:42.060
I think that's actually a pretty good job at that.

01:42.060 --> 01:45.127
If I wanna say, "show me the prompt you used" ...

01:46.290 --> 01:47.820
Yeah, here we go,

01:47.820 --> 01:50.580
it's just rewritten it to be a little bit better.

01:50.580 --> 01:51.690
I'm gonna copy this

01:51.690 --> 01:53.340
and we're just gonna see what we get

01:53.340 --> 01:56.070
when we put that into Midjourney as well.

01:56.070 --> 01:58.770
So I just pressed `/imagine`

01:58.770 --> 02:01.500
and then I'm just gonna paste in the prompt here

02:01.500 --> 02:04.290
and just obviously remember to get rid of the crap

02:04.290 --> 02:06.240
that it adds on top!

02:06.240 --> 02:07.680
So paste that in.

02:07.680 --> 02:08.760
And while that's generating,

02:08.760 --> 02:10.710
I'm just gonna show you how to remove the background.

02:10.710 --> 02:13.800
So if you download that

02:13.800 --> 02:18.493
and then you go to 'remove.bg', which is a free website

02:18.493 --> 02:22.230
where you can remove the background from things,

02:22.230 --> 02:23.103
here we go.

02:25.500 --> 02:26.850
And this also uses AI,

02:26.850 --> 02:28.050
but it's a different model

02:28.050 --> 02:31.770
and there, it's erased the background.

02:31.770 --> 02:33.207
So, I'm gonna hit 'Download'

02:35.190 --> 02:37.410
and now we have that background,

02:37.410 --> 02:39.960
we can place it on anything we want.

02:39.960 --> 02:41.730
So that is super useful.

02:41.730 --> 02:43.680
Now I'll just check out Midjourney.

02:43.680 --> 02:45.450
You can see that they have a bit more of

02:45.450 --> 02:47.790
a futuristic, fantasy aesthetic

02:47.790 --> 02:51.480
and it ignored the white background.

02:51.480 --> 02:52.890
It made the logo itself white,

02:52.890 --> 02:54.180
which is a little bit different.

02:54.180 --> 02:56.730
So you can see the difference between the models

02:56.730 --> 02:59.790
and it really just depends on what type of style you want.

02:59.790 --> 03:03.870
The other thing that we get a lot better results from

03:03.870 --> 03:06.030
with DALL·E is the text.

03:06.030 --> 03:07.740
So we actually got the text right here.

03:07.740 --> 03:08.880
It doesn't always,

03:08.880 --> 03:10.380
but one thing you might need to do

03:10.380 --> 03:12.180
is if it got the text wrong,

03:12.180 --> 03:14.820
or if you're using one of the ones from Midjourney,

03:14.820 --> 03:15.840
as you can see here,

03:15.840 --> 03:18.390
it got the text wrong completely.

03:18.390 --> 03:21.060
You'd have to go in, in, say, Figma

03:21.060 --> 03:24.000
or some sort of design tool like Canva,

03:24.000 --> 03:25.860
and then remove that text

03:25.860 --> 03:27.630
and then put your own text in there as well,

03:27.630 --> 03:29.310
and choose a font.

03:29.310 --> 03:32.040
That is the typical workflow if you're creating a logo.

03:32.040 --> 03:33.180
And if you don't like that,

03:33.180 --> 03:35.760
you can also ask it for multiple options

03:35.760 --> 03:38.703
or ask it to make specific changes as well.
