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

hey guys welcome to the exciting
tutorial of creating process and in
today's video we will design this logo
and if you look at this logo the logo is
consisting of multiple number of checks
and each X is divided into four pieces
and each four pieces are shaded with
different shades of color so if you look
at this logo the logo is very simple but
if we talk about this visualization it's
very meaningful that's very strong depth
of sense and there are some kind of
illusionist effect which is making it
very dynamic so to prepare this logo
with first undergo the preparation of
all these small pieces and then after
that we'll understand how we can apply
the shades of color over the elves over
those pieces so to prepare this logo
will first use the rectangle tool and
draw out the square by clicking shift
and alt pressed just with a mouse click
drag it out and you see that you can
prepare a nice square and after that
remove the fill color and fill the
stroke color with some color now the
next thing is duplicate this by doing
ctrl C controller and just rotate it to
an angle with a shift pressed you can
rotate it to 45 degree angle now we'll
join all the corners which we can see
here with the line segment so select the
line segment to and from one pitch point
to other just join it in the same way
just go on joining all the points you
can see there from here till here from
here till here so you can view the only
staff which we need here is to fill up
all the corners but you can see just and
make it intersect from here to here this
corner to this corner and
there's corner to this corner and you
can see that there are a few more things
which are left like this corner to this
con so just find it out and fill those
honors the spawner till this corner and
this spawn to do this so we have almost
intersected all the corners here now the
next thing is to select all the line
segments or The Strokes go to Pathfinder
and divide it you can find a pathfinder
over windows and here Pathfinder or we
have a shortcut here for 500 Pathfinder
and here just click the divide option
and I click on the object and just
ungroup it so you can see that all the
pieces are divided and separate now now
you can select each and every piece and
apply different shades of color so we'll
do that later first the next thing is
it's very important that you understand
which are the color you are going you
are using if you are making a logo which
is our design which is related to
professionalism you need to apply some
grayscale or dark color and if we
creating some creative stuff then it is
very important that you use some kind of
colors like orange yellow red which
suited the design so just find out the
color choose the color which you want to
fill before preparing the design and
like this
I have prepared these colors for colors
for this design like this color and you
can see that if we go to the fill object
and double-click on the color these are
the color codes which you can see here
so I have prepared all the four pieces
of color you're using the scene color by
applying these color codes so throughout
the design there is going to be a
constant color flow there is not going
to be any different color coming in
between and in making the design look
bad so the next thing is to fill this
design with the color which we have
chosen so and we have to ensure that the
colors we are going to apply is going to
be in a certain pattern way because if
we don't do that it's not going to look
like
so it's very important you are follow
some tricks here so we'll do that first
I'll select these with all press just
duplicate it out and place it there and
the reason why I'm placing it there
because I want to fill this color do
this for use in the same way I'll do one
more duplication here and place it there
and just rotate this blue this angle
like this so the reason is because I
have to fill because if I am filling
these color here it's going to rotate
here so like this so in same way I'm
placing here and just rotate it
downwards now because I am to fill these
color to here in the same pattern and
going here just rotate it there and this
way so let's fill this so so first thing
select this object with the eye picker
to fill T select the color so we have
shortcut for selection tool V and I for
a picker so with dB
select the object with our picker
selected color we select the object and
I picker fill the color the same way
we'll do this color fill this color too
you can see that this object is like
this and it has been tilted a little bit
angles so we can use this color to fill
this color also
so select with V article body color
so we go just along the pattern here you
can already know that which color you
and you fill here because it's going
like a pattern it's rotating
it's like rotation if you rotate in any
object like this putting a center here
and if you rotate it there you can see
that if we go through it it's this top
two color is going to be on the outside
and the inner two will be going to be
inside so we have to just follow that
pattern selectors with the eye picker
relative it color
so after filling all the corner pieces
the next thing is to fill the inner
pieces so we'll do one more step here
because our objects are not filled
because because of that we are not
unable to select that so we'll select
all the pieces here like this and fill
it at some certain different color which
we can be visible very easily like this
you can see here we then left with this
so just fill this up so like these
pieces fill this up now it will be very
easy for selection now select all the
pieces which are pointed bigger ones and
fill it with a dark color so after we
have filled with the black color the
next thing is to understand this you can
see that this black white this this you
will see that this pattern is following
this portion so if you are going to
color this portion we have to see this
in the same way we have to color this we
have to see this way to color laser
procedures and vapor color is
represented so it's light in direction
so we'll fill this with this color so
selected with it I picker fill it with
the color so like this fill it with the
color
selected for the car and the same way
select this but if the colors like this
put a little color
there's
this
same way this one this this this and
this to become very easy if you know
that stop so like this like that black
one and so that fits everyone now we are
left only with these small four pieces
here this two two pieces here so we need
to understand in which pattern we have
to apply the color so to understand I
will see the beside color so if we see
here black white green and down so it's
going like this this is anti-clockwise
and if we see here white black white and
this so this is going like this and this
is going to be like this so it's a
clockwise and this anti-clockwise so we
have to understand that so this is black
white there's this so in the same way
black why this and this so select this
portion further the tequila select this
portion and fill the color and you can
see that all these pieces inner pieces
like this one this one this one all are
forming the same pattern so we can dive
we apply the selectors Africa so like
this Africa select this our liquor and
select this eye
and I think this color is missing so we
can apply that select this article and
select this time so we filled all the
colors now the reason what we have made
these pieces has made our work much much
easier instead of going here and there
it has made our idea much much clearer
where we want to fill the color in AD
which places so we can now delete these
portions we don't no longer needed this
now you can place it there properly now
you can scale it up now the next thing
is to apply the text so we'll select the
text tool and write it out C and E CK
check and I think we need our capital
here C check and I think this text is
perfect we are using Microsoft huger and
we'll just need to scale this down to
fit to our logo and fill it with the
same color here with the Africa so we
have completed the text we have
completed a design so overall our logo
is complete hope you on your tutorial
