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

hey guys welcome to another exciting
tutorial of creation process and in this
video we'll be creating this logo so to
create this logo we will first use an
ellipse tools select the ellipse tool
make a circle now we need to adjust your
dimensions so we will use the ruler tool
the shortcut for ruler to this control R
will which will hide and unhide the
ruler option so just with the mouse
click drag out the lines and just adjust
their corners all the four sides the
reason we are why we are using the rules
to maintain their dimension and to be
accurate while placing or while doing
any further stuff so just maintain the
dimensions see that they are coinciding
here while the fourth side once you got
that we will just begin with our
tutorial we will need a rectangle and we
all just draw a rectangle here and give
it some color and just select both the
object go to Pathfinder here we go
we go up our find about just combine it
once you combine that we will just
duplicate this by clicking ctrl C and to
peace you can roll F which will paste
the object in the front and scale it
down once you scale it down let's do one
thing I just select both the object
remove their colors and give the outline
some colors so you can see the outlines
now with the selection to select the
corners here and just drag it out we by
using the arrow keys now select both the
object with the selection tool and
subtract it in the Pathfinder
you got this object
now we will further do go to the further
stuff where we will be doing some
details here and I have already created
some color palettes which I would be
needing while doing this color stuff so
here I have selected few colors color
shades which I'll be using while
coloring this logo so it's very
sometimes you need to decide which color
you have to choose before for your logo
so you have to color create a color
palette and then create a logo and apply
that color in it so here let's apply it
so we will just create this logo before
that so we di take an ellipse tool and
make a circle here one now I need what
we need is we will divide this the
object into two parts so I take this
circle I'm put this and corner here just
maintaining that it's parallel to it
over the point over the line and just
scale it up by clicking shift which will
try scale this gradually once you get
that again please place this corner
around here
and scale it up a little bit more just
make sure that it's gone intersecting
here now once you get that we will
select both the object and go to panel
divided so it will divide every part
separately which we will ungroup it all
and so they delete the part which we
don't need so I don't need this we don't
need this smaller portion above here so
I'll just delete this so we got this and
this here we go to object we will just
select both the object and combine it so
you got one object to object so further
go to the next step I'll rake take a
circle and give some cuts here so I'll
just because make this bigger one and we
keep it
much more bigger and I'm just a divining
this half so I'll just keep this like
this okay and I'll get to get one more
time
educated and just keep it see that this
these two are points out but
intersecting here and a little bit if
you need it just make it more bigger or
more less smaller and play with it
zoom in and walk with it I'm just
playing with the strokes right now
because right now I want to concentrate
on the curves which is forming so now I
said like all the object and divide it
now ungroup it all selecting by
selecting it and group it on delete the
stuff which you don't need like this you
need this you don't need this one delete
this part the latest part all the extra
parts which is useless you deleted and
we got now we got almost this part this
part almost every part is separated so
next we will go on further more
detailing stuff so just we will make one
more circle here and
we will keep it here okay once you got
that I'll duplicate this 100 on my time
by clicking alt and dragging it out I'll
duplicate it one more time clicking it
and dragging it out so in this way I
think I have a complete admiring stuff
so I select all of them and do the same
thing divided and delete ungroup it all
and delete the parts which I don't need
in my designs so delete at all
delete at all the lead at all so this is
the main part which we will be working
on so you can delete the guards guides
by selecting it and deleting it using
the keyboard and here we go with the
colors and here we have two more stuff
which we need to be deleted we don't nip
this and this only the C part first I'll
go with the shade here I will fill it
with light color of yellow and then this
one a little bit of darker yellow this
one orange and I'll fill this one with
dark green and this one with light green
and the way I'll fill this with light
green this one with this one so like it
properly because there are lots of
divisions here so you have to select it
carefully and color fill the color
exactly same this one dark green I'll
fill this three part with purple that's
three part with purple so here we go
with the purple this one with dark blue
which I'm having right now only one do
so I'll edit it later and this one for
the same blue here I will fill it with
blue just see the color combination and
just fill it out this one with yellow
and this one with dark green
and let's fill this with dark green and
this one with nothing to orange maybe
lighter orange so just see which color
matches Andy you can use this you can
fill this but maybe orange or maybe
green was I think good because almost
everywhere there is orange so let's play
with the gradient here or maybe color
depth so I'll apply some gradient here
just using the purple color so fill this
with purple and apply some gradient so
here we go to black
during the purple here choose one purple
color and this one two purple color so
Popple it's really dark so choose this
one go to the palette and play with the
purples color lighter to darker so once
you get that we will just select this
one with the gradient tool drag it out
so here we caught me we will just
brighten up a little bit more just like
this and you got a lighter tone of Papa
color and dark purple color at this more
seam opposite side
just so it will give some depth the same
way they choose this one apply the
gradient and play with the gradient
choose this one and apply the same if
there's a little bit of plain color
because it's like dark we need some
depth here so this is creating some
change in difference and creating a
depth field in the same way I'll apply
some gradient here too
or maybe if you don't want it you can
you it's your wish I feel I should do it
for the tutorial so here we need green
so let's take some green color here
that's this one and the another one also
green and we will just take one of the
green color and darken that color so
here we got it I'll just duck in just a
little bit more and we got a gradient so
choose it apply it choose that apply it
so here we go out it will select this
one and apply the same with the picker
tool here you can select the creating
color and just apply it this will create
some 3d for you
now we will change this into some
gradient color so I have choosen this
one we will open the gradient color here
give it some give this also some and
play with a gradient
here do you got blue one selected and
apply the gradient we will do some for
orange also so we select this one
apply some orange color so it's like
you're using gradient to make it more
depth make it more catchy and okay so
let's duck in this orange color and this
one brighten this up it's very I think
very bright those orange so let's do
that so with the grading chosen
algorithm tool we will some play with
this gradient stuff to get that
we will select the screen and choose the
gradient color oh maybe this and
and create the gradient you have left
this one will select this
now with the green color just play with
it we select this on a fattie green
color and with the gradient to be
applied so here we got some little 3d
look object we have one star with the
Lita's we don't need this lines which
are forming here just delete these
unwanted edges which is formed if by
default while you are doing some ok here
we got one small piece we will change
this into blue and here we go we got it
so that's let's say it's it has become
very easier when you have already
decided which color to choose and when
to use it so we have used this palette
to form this beautiful colorful
icon which you can which is our logo so
that's that it applies now put some text
here like mph your camphor and let's
make this bold and other half regular
and scale this up keep it in the center
so you got this scam free logo we're
using this beautiful color palettes now
let's create some reflections we go we
have missed our one step which is
glossiness so let's finish the shop just
I think we haven't grouped this up so
let's grab this object one leaving this
camphor ctrl G to group it and copy it
and paste in different by clicking ctrl
F and combine it now now we'll take a
circle and meek will just strike this
part from here like clicking this or
let's just move this a little bit up now
select both the object and subtractor
and apply some white color white so
choose it from the color palette and
make it white and in the transparency
option make changes to soft light in the
same way we will duplicate one more time
ctrl F in space in the front and combine
this make a circle
place it somewhere here select the boat
object subtracted apply the same feature
here so yeah we got the glossy effect as
well as the color gradient which has
formed this logo very valuable and
catchy one so we have almost finished it
so let's create the refraction so ctrl G
go to reflect tool double click on it
you got this reflect palette click
horizontal preview it and copy it now
with the shift in control just drag it
down the arrow shift an arrow down key
drag just slide it down make a rectangle
and draw it over it this will act as a
mask object over it so select both the
object go to transparency make mask now
you can see you can select this one and
apply the gradient here like a grayscale
let's apply some grayscale and with the
gradients to selected let's make it
horizontal now in the gradient we will
make this little more opaque by reducing
this okay and once you got that we will
just adjust the gradient we using the
gradient tool see that it's a refraction
is perfect
and if you're feeling it's okay then
fine and there is one more thing we can
add here to create a surface below the
logo we'll take a small rectangle draw
it over it make it black go to effect
blur Gaussian blur and blur it out
click click the preview option and see
how much blur you have given increase
the blurriness and click OK now select
the object go to transparency and in
this you apply multiply and please this
keep it below the logo and reduce this
opacity to a little bit around 50 and
you got the depth and scale it this down
a little bit more it's very large so
scale it down and
you got a nice contact effect here so
so this is how you can create a very
simple and very effective and very
beautiful logo using various very simple
simple elements of the software and here
we got the output hope you enjoyed the
