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

hey guys welcome to another very
exciting tutorial of creation process
and today's video will be designing this
logo if we see this you can see that
this piece looking like shipment has
been revolved around the imaginary
cylinder in such a way that there two
ends are not covering up the whole
cylinder it has been placed over the
cylinder which covers up only the half
portion of the center so let's
understand this with the example so to
create their this logo will you first
draw a strip of rectangle so let's
create a strip of rectangle fill this
with some color now let's convert this
object into symbol to do that we'll go
to windows and open up this symbol
palette or you can get the small option
here and also just click and drag it in
there name it ribbon and click OK with
that you have prepared your symbol now
you can delete this after this the next
step is we need to make our cylinders to
do that we'll just create a rectangle of
some thickness now go to effect 3d
revolve with this option you can create
a three dimensional object a cylindrical
three dimensional object so you can
preview that the cylinder has been form
you can just keep all the values zero
and go to map out over there you got
your top bottom and decide which revolve
which is the surface over where we want
to revolve our ribbon so here you got
your option to select it select the
ribbon option it is there now we have to
rotate it just radiant and you can see
it there if it's not visible just make
and sure that it's invisible geometry
where the surface cylindrical surface
will be invisible so just scale it down
and
place this in the center in such a way
that it is covering up only the half
portion of the slender that means it
should cover only him it should not
cover up the whole cylindrical surface
it should cover only half
so let's scale this on little bit more
and place it in the center so that there
are two ends these two ends are in a
single line so place it carefully just
and place it in the center
once you get your design and once your
rotation is okay then click OK and like
okay so you got your object here now the
next step is to convert this the whole
system into object so go to object
expand appearance object expand do this
for almost 2 2 3 4 times so that
everything inside it can be converted
should be converted into object form and
after that just selected and ungroup
under these clipping masks delete the
clipping masks selected and just do it
one more time expand it so that whatever
inside it should be converted into
object form ungroup it
and now now skew can scale this up and
your piece of ribbon has is ready the
next step is we have to extend this and
should make sure that they're forming a
straight lines through that we'll just
drag out the ruler and place it there
now the next step is with the direct
selection tool it's like the vertices
and click and drag it and place it over
the through the grid right lines
now after that do the same thing for the
lower portions also if it's not over it
just selected and place it over the grid
so that they form a straight they are on
the straight line click it and just
place it over there and make sure that
they are on the they are on the straight
line please sit there
then after that the next to control the
handles don't use the direction to
because sometimes it is connected with
the other handles so with the convert
Anchor Point tools you can independently
select the handles and with the shift
you can snap it open Akula so use the
convert Anchor Point tool to do that
it's like tea with the die so you can
select the object see the handles yeah
we did a session and we they convert
Anchor Point tools you can see the
handles now snap it over there do the
same thing for this handle it selected
snap it now after that you can just
delete this ruler and
i standard a little bit more ifs looking
short to create the other piece you can
just group this ctrl G go to in fact
we'll double click on it the option will
appear keep it vertically and review it
and copy it the duplicate off your
previous shape with the creeper created
now place it in the correct place now
hung group everything and bring this
piece or in to front this will bring
this piece over the over different now
the very important tips which I'm going
to give here is this to apply a gradient
to this please you have to click the I
picker tool and with the shift and alt
click you can apply independently any
gradient color over the over any piece
this is a very important tool if you
just select and with the I picker tool
you just selected it is not going to
function properly so you have to just
select the object fill it with some
normal color and with the I piccaboo
selected shift and alt you can see the T
over the tool and just select it and
with the gradient tool you can
independently edit it now the same way
select this with the I picker tool I
shift and alt clicked select the color
select the other piece I picker to shift
and alt click and with the mouse click
you got the color now with a gradient
tool you can just add gistic radian
colors select the creating two edges
degrading colors so play with this now
this one selected with a gradient tool
just apply it properly make sure that
here the dark portion for the shadows
and do it until it's okay
now for this also selected with a
gradient to just move it down select
this piece with a gradient tool adjust
the colors make sure here is the dark
portion
in this way you have created the under
piece you can just expand it and place
it there you can you always give the
finishing touch by editing the gradient
colors because sometimes you you if it's
not looking good you have to do it until
the finishing and now the next step is
to create the shadow we'll just take a
ellipse tool fill it with black color
and just drag it out now in the effect
go stylized blur Gaussian blur and blur
it out you can preview it and okay now
you can reduce it to almost 60 percent
duplicate this ctrl c ctrl F scale it
down a bit and place it there now Gro
pet ctrl G and arrange it to the back
sign into back they sit below now to
create this by alt and ctrl drag and
place it to the under corner in this
where we have created the shadow now the
next step is to try to text so so that
you text Celsius see ELC I US Celsius
capitalized it by by just selecting it
and in the character you can just click
this option and everything will be in
capital
or and if you want to give some spacing
in betweens go to character give some
spacing maybe hundred or you can even
give bigger spacing two hundred and you
can scale this up place it properly give
it some great color give it some great
color
okay and we have almost finished our
logo so this is how you can create this
