Has a good step by step for how to make wordmark logos, but doesn't really go into the creative side of making the design choices for the logos.

I learned many things as a Graphic Designer. While you think you know how the word mark process is done, our instructor Gary shows us effortlessly how to get through every aspect, of the design process without making the process hard. I recommend this course to all who either want to learn how to make nice word marks or tighten up the skills they have already in this area of Graphic Design.

Very helpful to watch the development, too often we don't get to understand the "playing around" phase of the process where new ideas present themselves and old ones get discarded.
