That's a good question! There we go:

:computer: Software: I use InkScape to create SVG images. Usually the ones used in projects have the size of 900x400.
:art: Colors: Flat Colors are my favorite colors! :grin:
:octocat: Icons: I really like GitHub's Octicons, falling back to FontAwesome. I usually use them in my project logos.
:abc: Fonts: The fonts used in displaying the text are from Google Fonts.
:rocket: Finally, I publish them in IonicaBizau/resources repository.

Hi @IonicaBizau , can you give me a tutorial link or any resource which I can follow step by step to create logos?

@amitmerchant1990 Similar to my answer to #4, I recommend you to learn by doing. Install InkScape and try playing around. First time is confusing, but you will quickly find solutions. I really like InkScape. I was using since the days when it was very unstable. Now it's a smooth experience to work with it. :rocket:

Here is my color palette I use: https://github.com/IonicaBizau/dotfiles/blob/master/inkscape/FlatUI-palette.gpl :art:

Also, I'm not that good in designing logos. I just do it for fun (especially for my projects), mostly by combining icons created by others (e.g. Octicons, font-awesome etc).

Seems InkScape is pretty good, personally I use sketch to draw logos and prototype web apps, pretty easy 😅
