The Backstory

Hi, I’m Nick, a Philadelphia-based graphic designer, content creator, and creator of “Logos By Nick”.

I started out as a freelance graphic designer in 2011 working primarily through crowdsourcing sites like Elance and Upwork. Logo design was my best-selling service and it was the type of design I enjoyed most, so it made sense to brand myself as a logo designer.

What I love most about logo design is the challenge of capturing the entire essence of a brand and summarizing it in a simple depiction. It’s a puzzle that can only be solved with creativity and aptitude, and it can be so rewarding when you hit the mark.

During my time on Elance and Upwork I served over 1,000 clients.

Launched In 2015

In 2015 I launched LogosByNick.com as an independent platform where I could offer my freelance design services and build a business infrastructure of my own.

I promoted the site by creating educational content — primarily YouTube videos and written guides for apps like Inkscape, GIMP, Illustrator, Affinity Designer and more.

As the years went by, the content I created to promote my freelancing services gained so much traction that it opened up new opportunities for me to share my expertise via courses and workshops.

The “Logos By Nick” community has since grown into one of the largest educational platforms for graphic design, serving millions of visitors per year across all channels.
