I thought I’d make a post about my logo and banner that is
visible on my channel and across all my social media as well as on this Blog.
Now I realise that this isn’t the greatest logo ever created
nor does it come close. It is sort of a standard logo you see almost everywhere
on YouTube as well other social media sites. I didn’t have any mind blowing
ideas when I created this. I just wanted something that I could create that
would be sort off simple yet unique and that I could create with a fair amount
of ease given my Photoshop Skills or lack thereof.
How I managed to do this was by some random tutorial I found of YouTube that I’ve long since lost. I did create it in Photoshop with almost no previous background or experience in using it. I picked the colors because I like the color blue and I especially liked this neon blue contrast against the black background. I used a similar effect on my banner as well, maybe it was a phase, I don’t really know.
The initials Km obviously stand for Kingmafusa, my Alias or internet persona I created back when I was ohh I don’t know 14, maybe? It is a name (or Gamertag) that I use to identify myself on many of the games that I play online as it IS pretty unique. I’ve seldom found people having already picked this name so that’s always good I suppose.

This banner was yet again inspired by another YouTube
tutorial I found interesting and was also created using Adobe Photoshop. Both
of these wonderful pieces of art took me a total of maybe 4-5 hours. If you are
reading this and thinking “pffffsssttt I can create something MUCH better in
half that amount of time”, well good for you. I am truly happy that you are so
very skilled >.<
I didn't feel like mastering Photoshop or design before
creating the logo and banner as that would probably ‘suck’ all the fun out of
it. Neither could I afford a professional to design an awesome looking artistic
piece of work so these will just have to do for now.
So yes while there are probably hundreds if not thousands of
better looking logos / banners all across the internet, I have come to like and
identify myself with these for the time being.
There may come a time in the future when I either get bored
of my wonderful creation or just plain tired of having to look at these designs
and wish for something new. When such a time comes I may choose to ask someone
more capable for help in creating something awesome.
Regardless of how or why I created these things at the end
of the day I am fairly proud of them, because it is something I did on my own, from conception to completion, and personally I don’t think they look half bad.
