Professional Logo Design - Adobe Illustrator cs6 (Neuron) 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 today's
video will be designing this logo if you
observe this logo carefully you can see
that the overall design is forming a
part of spiral spring for rectangle has
been used and has been revolved over a
cylinder to form this shape and after
that each pieces has been given some
thickness to create a sense of depth so
let's create this design first to create
a design I will create a strip of
rectangle by collect selecting the
rectangle tool and creating a strip of
rectangle let's give this some same
sample color like black and duplicate
this four times by clicking alt and
mouse click track after you have created
four strips of rectangle just a may
ensure that their tails spacing between
each of them are equal so just adjust it
now select the object go to symbol and
drag this object inside this in this way
you can create this object into symbol
form name this like dragging the strip
str8 a strip and click OK and after that
you can delete this part leather now now
the next step is to create a cylinder to
create a cylinder we'll use a rectangle
and make out a strip of strip of it now
this is our so then using this will
create a cylinder by using the 3d option
so select this object make it a little
bit more thinner like this select this
object go to effect 3d and revolve this
option will create this strip in to
convert this into 3d object like a
cylindrical so you can preview it like
it's slender now just give everything 0
gene average value into 0 and after that
we will I want to tell this into
90-degree angles so I'll go this to
this endpoint 90 degree and click okay
so we want this object we dislike this
and if we go inside like map art you got
this option ensure that we need we need
this surface like the surface which is
revolving and in that we will put our
symbol strip and if you want to see this
just make it invisible geometry it will
convert the object into geometrical form
and after that you can just rotate this
part and you can see the op design
forming here you can just adjust it if
you want and click OK and once you've
got that if you're ready with that click
OK so you go we got our basic on design
which we want for this logo to be
prepared after that just click this go
to object expand appearance planned
appearance and here ungroup it and group
it and after that select this and
release clipping mask now each object is
separate if you select this one and
release clipping mask and to delete the
clipping objects by selecting it like
this
selected okay now after that we'll all
select this object we want to form this
like n so we'll just drag this and place
it after this we will duplicate this one
more time and by clicking alt and drag
and place it in the correct position so
we got our overall shape like this now
we need a little bit of isolation let's
scale this up a little bit after that
the next step is to bring these two
pieces and arrange it to the front so
that these two pieces are above and this
is pillow and after that select this
pieces and let's give some lighter color
so it can be easily visible now select
this piece overall go to effect 3d and
extrude and bevel this will give some
thickness to the object so that's put
all the value to zero and preview it now
let's give some perspective around ten
some thickness extrude depth thickness
around 101 106 let's change this angle
to around - not - 4 + 4 and just play
with the extrude options
once you are happy with the extrude
depth click OK in the same way we'll
select this go to effect 3d extrude and
bevel here convert all the values to 0
and after that in the perspective that's
give some perspective root 10 or maybe
laven it's okay in the preview option
click the preview option and now
increase the depth to around 100 or
maybe this month that we will correct it
later just give this angle to minus 3 or
minus 4 minus 4 and in the extra just
adjust it depth
and after that click ok our knife step
back step is we'll select this go to
effect 3d extrude and bevel and here
we'll convert all the valleys to zero
let's give the same perspective on maybe
we need more perspective angles we'll
just keep it for a while extrude it to
and you can preview it now we will just
play with the perspective and extrude
option so we'll just keep on editing
just see which now after that we'll just
reduce the depth you can increase or
reduce it let's reduce the post factor
angle and let's see what happens so you
got the depth here here you can increase
or decrease by using the extrude depth
once you got that you can click okay so
we have created our basic design now the
next step is to give some gradient color
and for to do that I have already
created two to a strip of grading color
I have created this two pieces for
different use so we'll use this pieces
to fill up a curl and the earlier of
tutorials I already told that I usually
find all the colors which I need and
then just place it here so that it makes
our work easier
so let's ungroup it first go to and
select everything go to object and
expand appearance this will convert
everything into object form now ungroup
it
in the same way select this ungroup it
and in the same way select this and
ungroup it
so everything is now I think separate
each pieces are separate now we'll
select all these upper surfaces like
this one this this this this this this
and this and with I picker by I clicking
it select this color and with the
gradient tool just add just the color
now after we select the depth pieces
that's the thickness select everything
and select the with the IP collect the
same color now with the gradient to just
adjust it now we will do for the inner
version - with like this does on this
and this with the eye picker will now
we'll select this color and with the
creating to just apply it now after that
we are left with this that thickness
pieces so selected carefully pieces
which are creating thickness and now we
will select with the eye picker we
select the disk color and with the
gradient tool just at just the
reflection ensure that the glossiness is
down there and darkness above so when I
say we have created our we have given
the gradient color also and after that
you can see that over locus like glossy
and it's like 3d now if you see that
that the height is quite lower you can
select everything you can group it ctrl
G and scale it up a little bit more our
next step is to create the text so we'll
go to text here we'll write and II you
are one neuron will duplicate this one
and type II as T
TEP stepless 2 0 1 4 and I'll scale this
down and place it below there zoom in
and place it properly in the center now
I'll select this one and place it
properly if it's small just scale it up
place it and last thing is I'll convert
this object into text into object so
I'll go to object expand this will
convert this text into object and we can
easily fill the colors which we want so
we'll just this color with a gradient to
just apply it properly you can see it
now after that next step is we'll just
lighten this up we'll give some no gray
color light gray color and click OK now
the last we'll need some background
color so I'll select this piece and
duplicate this and place it there and
just scale this up so this is how we can
grid this logo hope you enjoyed the
