Professional Logo Design - Adobe Illustrator cs6 (ScreenArt) Video Lecture | How to Design a Logo in Adobe Illustrator: For Beginners and Beyond

hey guys welcome back to on the way
exciting tutorial of cretin process and
increase we're making this on the new
logo design and as we can see there's a
zigzag formation of a very thin film
strip in which the top surfaces have got
that color and inner surfaces has got
certain great in color and here we can
see there are a few details so to create
this logo will first create the zigzag
formation using the pen tool then we use
the extrude and bevel to create this
surfaces and we'll add up the green
color then we'll add up these details
and then finally we'll add up the text
so that's beginner tutorial to create
this logo we'll use the pen tool and
create this exact formation so click
here and we'll create a curve like this
than one around here and this one a
little bit longer than one around here
and this one is going to be the longest
one make a little curve here at the end
then one around here and this one around
here and finished it go like this now
once you have done that we'll select
this and make sure the fill color is
light color maybe little red like we
have selected that and make sure the
stroke thickness is varied the 10 that's
we have given 0.2 and after that
selecting that go go to effect 3d
extrude and bevel and here we'll do a
little adjustment with the extrude and
bevel option just preview it and you can
see the extra effect now we'll do a
little adjustment with the angles like
this we'll rotate this to an angle like
this kind we'll make sure it's straight
so we're just or heated make sure it's
like this will increase this angle so
we'll be doing little adjustment with
the angles and like this and will
increase the perspective to around maybe
60 and will reduce the extrude that and
we'll do the little adjustment with the
angles like this so you can see we are
doing a little bit of adjustment with
the angles and all everything so that we
can get that design so I
this let's increase the extrude that so
that we can see this ending curves here
like that and let's find out and after
that just click the ok' button so once
you have achieved basic idea of the logo
then we'll select this go to object
expand appearance and this will convert
this into semi object now next thing is
go to object envelope distort and make
with mesh and with this will help us in
modify this object so we have given rows
two by two columns and preview it so you
can we got these matchup points click OK
and after that with the direct selection
tool select these three points and just
move it on the left hand side with the
arrow keys like that and after that
we'll make sure that the curves are in
floats like this we'll make sure the
flow is maintained in this way and in
the end one will just make sure there's
a bending like this like this this kind
again this and we'll do more adjustment
so that we got that for you so we'll do
a little adjustment like that this one
will do can move here if you need like
that this one will just do like this so
it's all how you do the adjustment with
the mesh and everything options like
that this one we'll just look at it and
see how it looks this one we can just
make sure curves so follow I'm making
the maintaining the flow of the curve is
important so that we can achieve a nice
sign this one will do like this
from here also will do little angle
designed a little bit this one will tell
this a little bit more like that so we
can get that curve
nice go from here also nice curve and
after that you can click the ok button
if you ok with that
so with the selection tools like the
object go to object expand and this will
convert this into object form and after
that right click your mouse button
ungroup it almost three times and after
that you can see everything is separated
so this phase is separate this one is
separate so we'll just select this and
we'll go to windows and pathfinder and
bring out the palette now select this
and just combine it so like this combine
it so like this make sure everything is
selected combine it select this face
combine it select this face combine it
select this face combine it select this
one combine it so selecting everything
so that each pieces are one objects now
you can see this is one object so we can
easily fill up your color very easily
now once you have done that we select
all the top surfaces and with the eye
picker just select this color so this
one is black now next thing is we select
this with the I picker and with the alt
and shift press just select this color
and same we do the stuff for all the
faces so wills with the article select
this with the alternate approach just
like the color select this one with the
article select the color select this one
with the article select the color so
everything we have given all the colors
now we'll do the tool adjustment or
we'll be working on this few details so
to create that details we'll go to pen
tool and create a curve from here
maintaining the flow and tell the end
like that so make it fill it fill color
make the stroke color white and so we'll
do the adjustment to the curb so we'll
use the convert Anchor Point tool and
break this point so that we can do the
adjustment here like below making the
flow then after that with the direct
selection to will individually select
the points and adjust if curves so I
would select this just move this little
bit here at the corner this one here
this one we can just extend it like that
this one will just make it more curved
like that and after that we'll make sure
I will go I select this go and in the
stroke will increase the thickness to
around maybe - this one here - - and
here also - so we given that let's check
it out the size okay that's very small
or maybe like we can increase the size -
that's port well here we'll go here and
select it for four and that's fine now
we'll duplicate this or maybe just shift
this a little bit here like that
now we'll duplicate this one more and
place it there with the all press just
click and drag and you can duplicate it
now place this in a proper place so
select there it place it there this
corner should be adhered so select it
and place it here and make sure to
maintain the flow according to the
surface so we'll just make sure it's in
the flow this one will just extend a
little bit so that we can maintain you
flow here now after that select this one
more time
duplicated not that one The Cove
duplicate it with the all pressed just
click and drag and with the direct
selection tool
just select the point and just place it
at here at one point and one at the end
and after that we'll make sure to
maintain the flow so these handles are
very useful to maintaining the flow like
that and after we'll do one more just
like this duplicate it one more with the
slash direct selection tool select the
points place it here one selected place
it here and after that's like the middle
one and place it in the middle now we'll
do the adjustment with the flow so just
shorten the handles like that and place
it here my scope may be in the cove and
finally that's me
so once you have placed everything will
do little adjustment will select this
will increase the stroke thickness so
this one around five so increase
everything to five like that in the same
way so like the other one this one
selected increase it to maybe six let's
check out the size if you increase this
it into six okay we can just give it 5/5
is good so once you have done that will
select all the codes select it with a
ship press select everything go to
object but and outline stroke and this
will convert this into object form and
after that ungroup it once and will
delete all the extra surfaces which is
at the corners so we select this delete
it's like this piece deleted select this
piece deleted selectors deleted
selectors to the eater from the top how
so selectors delete it's like this to
the lien and after that we'll do if you
stop here what we'll do is we'll select
this this and subtract so you can see
are the pieces which you have made has
been subtracted from our main surface so
it's empty in same with selectors this
and the leader subtracted selectors this
subtract selectors this
subtract once you have done all that you
can see a few of these surfaces have
gone below
we need that on the top so we'll select
just that surface and to bring this
object on the top press the control and
the closed bracket and that will bring
that object to the front in same way
select this way to control the and code
bracket just bring the object to the
front so this is 2 or 4 the arrangement
just do the same for here also now once
you have done all the arrangement we
will just make sure to increase the size
and after that we'll do the adjustment
to the creating colors so like this with
the g4 greeting - just select the fill
color and from here till here so that
the darker portion is on the top and
lighter is on the lower in the same way
like this so just make sure do it
properly in the same way with the
selection to select this and with the
gradient to just just be creating color
like that again in selectors we're
creating color just do the grading color
so like this G great in color so here
darker here lighter at the pillow so
once you have added all the cream color
properly next thing is to add the text
so let's create the text with a teeth
type of the font that's screen s CR EE
and screen art er er and the phone which
were using is next alight so we select
this and type out and E X in X ax l hesd
light and you can see the font we got a
very thin point and after that we'll get
select this point and give it boot an
extra hole and next thing is we'll just
increase the size around as much and
we'll adjust the spacing between each
alphabet so we'll go to character and
here is the option if you increase
the number value here you can increase
the distance between each alphabet so it
increases it around 700 and place it
there even even increase the size little
bit more and place it there so this is
our logo we have placed the font in
proper way we have applied a gradient
color and we have used few techniques to
create this unique design so this is how
we can create these kinds of logo hope
