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

hey guys welcome to the exciting
tutorial of creating processes and
today's row will design this unique
letter D and if we look at this closely
this small portion is made from using
the ellipse tool and after that one of
the anchor point has been modified to
form an angle of 90 degree angle here
and then educated one more times to make
the bigger one and we have added two
line segments of equal lengths and we
have deleted this subtracted from the
main body and later we have added a
gradient color so let's begin with the
tutorial to start with the tutorial
we'll select the ellipse tool remove the
fill color and fill the stroke color
make this stroke thickness to 12 points
and now that pick your mouse button and
let's give some now points here the
values you can put your ways I'm putting
35 points and click OK so this is the
size which I want here now the next
thing is we need to make one of the
anchor point and one of the point one of
the sides to be 90 degree angles so to
do that we'll use the ruler to control
our to bring out the ruler now just
click and drag it out and they sit there
in the same way again selected from the
top click and drag around place it there
so we got the dimensions now we will
select the object this and
in the pen tool add anchor point we'll
add one anchor point here and we will
modify this point so just select with
the die selection tool and place it
there and after that using the convert
Anchor Point tool we'll just click over
there and it will automatically make to
90 degree angle now you can remove the
Delete key rulers and control our to
unhide rules as you create again and
after that figure out the basic shape
here now the next thing is to duplicate
this control C control app to paste it
in the front and a transform we go and
we'll just scale this width and height
to around 85 and this and you can see
it's grown now we will maintain the
thickness so let's keep it to out now so
the next thing is we'll make two line
segments one over here and under here so
we'll use the line segment and from here
with shift selected just drag it up and
that's all now in the same way we'll
draw one more shift select it and drag
it up and this much so got it now
select everything go to object expand
and this will convert all these Stroh's
into object form you can see that now we
need to delete this portion delete that
we will draw out a rectangle tool using
the rectangle tool we'll just draw a
rectangle here there's much bigger round
much
and we're just abstract it there so
select is this and in the Pathfinder its
abstract and now select both the
rectangles arranged bring the front we
have got the basic shapes now the next
thing is up to apply the creating color
perfectly so to do that I have prepared
two gradient color here you can see one
is for our two line segments and other
is for these two species where we need
some dark color here to show the depth
so this is the one
so with selected with the our picker
select the color now with the gradient
we'll just add just few things that
before they select both of this and
again fill the color in color and let's
do some adjustment like this like this
okay
and after that we'll do for this also
and it using the gradient tool
just give it depth
and same with like the other one using a
gradient to give it a depth
and let's let's check it out and here
you can see some lines are there so you
have to play with the grading color so
that's select both of them and that's a
very clean color properly
see
okay now it's most so we got our logo we
have applied degrading color and we have
given some depth here also the last
thing is we will be adding the text so
to other text we'll use the text tube
type out di re CT we are using the SF
Old Republic boat here for this logo and
we'll change the color to gray so just
click and just give it some true gray
and after that we'll select one of the
texts like this letter D and fill it
with some different colors like the dark
blue or do
and they stood in a prospective place so
this is how we have created this logo
