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

hey guys welcome back to on the Reg
citing tutorial of creation process and
review we designed this logo last look
at this logo and this logo we have got
two shapes each of them are identical to
each other and they have an attached
like a chain like molecular structure
and you can also see that we have got a
nice shiny effect above it and the text
so to design this logo will follow only
four steps first we'll create the basic
structure of this logo second will
create that chain like structure third
we'll add the grading color fill up with
the colors and fourth and finally we
will add the refractions Andy text so
let's begin with a tutorial so to start
with our tutorial we'll select the
ellipse tool and left-click your mouse
button in width and height fill it up
with 50 by 50 and click the ok' button
you can see we have got a nice small
circle here so we will remove the fill
color and fill the stroke color now the
next thing is we will use a line segment
tool and left-click your mouse button
and here take a length of 50 points and
the angle 0 thank like ok click one more
time keep the line 50 and angle 120
click one more time click the keep the
line same and the angle to be 240 degree
now we'll place all these small small
line segments together
so keep the salaah here and here make
sure all these points coincide each
other the points like this once you have
done that group this up ctrl G and place
it in the center of the circle here
now click the circle with the all press
duplicate this and bring this out and
keep it here like and points of the
years the line segment should be the
center of the circle new circle in the
same way to placate one more time and
place it like this again bring it one
more time and place here like this if
once you have done this we'll do one
more step we will select the ellipse
tool again and left click your mouse
button and now this time we'll keep the
width and height around double that so
we earlier we have used 50 now it's 100
so we have to double the width and
height and click the ok' button and now
bring this and just keep it here in such
a way that the two side of the small two
circles touches the edge of this big
circle so just make sure that just zoom
it in and place it there properly like
this it should intersect little bit if
this is going to la large and just push
it out and make sure it happens here
also there should be intersection if
it's not you should just make it
intersect the mitten and just make sure
it's intersection but duplicate one more
time select this big circle and
duplicate one motor and now this time
we'll place this here the same way it
should intersect this edge of the circle
so make sure just omit in select okay
this side is okay and short this side is
also okay
little bit more and this is fine now
duplicate this one more time here bring
it here
place it properly in such a way that the
edges of the circle intersect each other
a little bit until zoom it in make sure
it should not be large as the
intersection portion the same way make
sure here also it got intersected it's
very huge then just pull it out okay
in this side little bit inner side we
should need to put it inside more and
that's final
now once we have done all this stuff
select everything and select the shape
builder to now make sure you can see
that
yeah it's intersected it's fine
everything is going fine now the next
step is to fill this to combine this one
to combine these pieces these these
these sorry it should be combining we
have like a mining only these outer
portions and this will be separate this
will be separate is this separate after
we have done that will delete this will
delete this this this and we can even
just drag it this out and delete
everything else so we got a nice shape
we've got a nice basic structure of this
design once we have done that we can see
in the corners we have some sharp edges
you can see that to remove that we'll go
to object part simplify and here just
preview it and this any cope precision
will keep around 96 and keep this zero
and so if you preview it you can see the
edges here it was pointed if we pivot
with this option it has smooth all the
corners and click the okay and if you
see here something is wrong you can just
go in there see what's the problem okay
this one just make sure it's aligned and
that's all we have done it now the next
thing to do is with fill it with some
basic color so that we can share before
that I'll just make sure it's like this
now fill this with some basic color I'll
pick this color and duplicate this one
more time control C control f and just
bring it in the front drag it down
little bit and that's all and the lower
one I'll just change its color to little
bit darker so that we can differentiate
that once you've done that we'll
duplicate this once control C control a
half and just change the angles like
this and just make sure it's here we'll
place it properly with the arrow keys
like this and let's change its color to
something else like orange and the lower
one with darker orange
we can change this color like this this
one we have already chosen that so we'll
collect this color and make sure and
just play with the reflection this one
we need to move this little bit right
side and down word like this okay and we
can just scale this up a little bit so
that we can do the perfections here make
sure okay you can see that we have
called the basic shape basic curves and
all we can just play with the
reflections here we can just make it
thinner and a little bit right side left
side okay
the same way we'll do for the orange one
just push it up a bit
yeah right so we can see there is a
reflection there is in the refraction
that's we need now the next step is
we'll select everything and with the
shape builder tool again we'll do some
adjustment here we'll select fill this
with same fill this with same color just
drag and select that potion to combine
just click and drag and everything will
be combined
we need this to become mine you can see
we need this portion to be on the top so
just select and combined it this one we
need to be combined and this one also it
should be on the top so we'll select and
just to mine it this one should be on
the top this should become mine I think
yeah this one is fine this one is
separate I think this should be separate
this should be separate and this one
also should be separate and here we need
something to do to do will just remind
it small small pieces and that's all now
the next thing is to select and fill the
same color here and this one fill it
with dark this one this one and this
small pieces here fill the same dark
color so you can see we got a nice
reflection here nice perspective view
like a chain due to this effect we can
use we have you the ability to create
this so once we have done that we will
do some gradient color Corrections here
so to select this and this and with a
gradient to just play with that we need
a dark potion here and lighter on the
top so we'll do that
just play with that okay fine once you
can add that now the next thing is this
one we need all these pieces selected at
once and we'll play with the gradient so
this and this okay so with the gradient
selected just drag and we can you can
even change the color with the IP
current and with a gradient to just D
colors okay that's fine
the doctor should be here and here
should be some darker potion also here
so on the top it should be dark and here
light so you can see that here's a
lighter and this doc doc doc fine now
the next thing for this here we're gonna
use the same or we can keep this like
this that's fine there's one thing here
like this reflection we need small piece
of it section here so we'll just do the
ship we don't separate this piece out
and now select this with a gradient to
select it just adjust it and you can see
it yeah so once you have done that we'll
add this glossy effect to create that
we'll just select this and this and
brigade this ctrl c ctrl F now on the
top we'll draw one more big circle here
and
we'll keep this a little bit aside and
just bring in one and place it properly
here like this maybe this and select
this and go to the Pathfinder and
subtract it in the same way we're
bringing this and we said therefore the
pathway so like go top down go to Batman
and subtract it and now select this
piece and this piece and with the I
picker will select this color that's and
this color is white and we have reduced
the opacity to 31st and so it's looking
like that so once we have created that
the last thing we are left with this
text so we'll write the text yeah I are
air and we'll use the font medium font
so we'll just find that out that will be
somewhere here oh you may just copy this
ctrl C and paste it there selecting this
text control V so we got that we have
used the funk medium text and we place
it there we'll fill it with the same
color here dark one so you can see that
we have completed everything we have
created the basic structure then we have
created that chain like structure using
the shape builder tool and finally where
the degree in color and the glossy
effect and index so this is how we can
create these fans of logo hope you enjoy
