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

hey guys welcome to another exciting
tutorial of logo designing and in this
video we'll be creating this 3d logo so
let's begin with the tutorial I will
first use the ellipse tool to create a
circle so I'll choose ellipse tool and
create a circle here I will apply a
greeting color here so in the width if
you select the gradient tool you got
this the gradient palette where I have
chosen to color pink and dark pink you
can choose any color you were and i
justá-- gradient like this and once you
are clear about your color toning our
first part is done so we go to the next
step where we'll be creating the second
part of the design that's now to do that
we will just duplicate this alt and ctrl
mouse click you drag it out and you got
the under copy of that stuff so now we
will design the second part so to do
that we'll copy it ctrl C and ctrl F to
paste it in the front scale it down a
bit and now select both the object go to
pot finder and subtract it so once you
got that we will go to effect 3 an
extrude and bevel where we will create
some dynamic form we will create here we
will create some depth here so we pivot
and we will play with some values so
we'll just put some values here 0 0 and
we'll just play with the y-axis so Joe
okay and before they just increase the
perspective value to almost extreme and
depth maybe you can keep it this way or
you can even editor or you can even
change it out key 55 and I'll just
change the angle to minus-15 let's check
whether it's fun or not we will increase
it to 20 and let's check whether it's
okay a little bit less 1 9
I'll do it until you find accurate
minus-18
and I think it's ok now click ok once
you got the shape now the second thing
is we will convert this stuff into
objects so we'll go to object expand
appearance this will convert this whole
stuff into separate objects and to do to
get this every object will right-click
it ungroup it right click ungroup right
click ungroup until you get everything
separate so once you get that you notice
that there are ok I think this one is
ungroup we need to ungroup this and
there's one layer here I'll just delete
this out and now we got two separate
layers so separate stuff here now I'll
just put some gradient here so instead
of gray I'll add some blue gradient so
let's change it to like blue and this
one to dark blue and let's lighten this
up a little bit I'll just increase the
brightness of one of the part and
keeping it red here we select the
gradient tool and just place it nicely
in the same way just select the internal
inside object before that go to part
finder and make it one object by like
combining it and we'll apply the same
thing we'll just choose the gradient of
this part go to gradient and keep this
linear we'll bring this in the center
and some dark portion here so now the
gradient tool play the lighting of the
surface just make sure it's perfect
you can even
change the color tones if you want okay
and display the gradient okay so once
you get that we will need some I think
some edge here so I'll just select this
or you can select this and fill it with
some stroke color maybe black or maybe
any color you want to bite okay and
we'll select this object convert it to
do and expand it so that each the stroke
also for that just I'll just change this
color to some kind bland flat color and
we will convert this object into and
expand it so you got the stroke path
separately and group it so you got the
stroke part separate and the body part
separate so let's check whether it's
separate or not here you are the stroke
are separate this one okay now after
that I'll just apply the gradient I'll
just pick this gradient color and go to
gradient stuff just edit few stuff and
keep it ready
and adjust the color tone so you gotta
now we will select the edge one and
we'll apply the Christine stuff gradient
but we will lighten this up I'll just
keep this white pure white and this one
light blue so just brighten it up and
you we will use linear here with the
gradient tool we will apply it nicely so
once you get that that's our main part
where we will be combining these two
designs together so we'll just I'll just
bring this here and keep it beside it so
and you can even scale it up by contrast
clicking the shift and with the mouse
you can scale it very equally and now I
will be needing some I want this surface
to be above and there should be some
space from where this 3d stuff should be
visible so I'll just duplicate this ctrl
c ctrl F and scale it down by
maintaining this shape and make sure
that it's coinciding with this part oh
maybe this inner one and once I have
done that I'll just select both the
Rings go to Pathfinder and subtracted
now I'll bring this up arrange bring to
front so you got this
so after this I'll add some reflectional
which will that make our design more
catchy
so I'll control C control f and I'll
draw one circle here draw a group a
quick circle we'll just duplicate this
I'll just a duplicate this alt and drag
out now I'll go to divide and every part
will be divided and group at once and
you can get everything separately and
you got this exact circle which you need
here so I'll just put it over here okay
now I will do is let me
put it perfectly Nora do is i duplicate
this one control see I think it's
already duplicated yeah
so you just scale it down a bit that's
much okay now select both the object and
just abstract it so this one you got it
above it now you can adjust the gradient
like this and select the lower one and
let's play with some creating column
let's make it a little bit darker now
like dark and this one more darker and
keep it linear and just drag it down so
you got some contrasting edge here
you can edit it until you find it
accurate okay
so just play the grid and you got it
now we will duplicate this one more time
control C control F and we will make a
shiny edge here so I'll just make one
circle above it like big one and just
slide it up okay now select the two
circles go to Pathfinder and substracted
and apply this gradient just select it
and keep it linear
and give the centreboard dark and the
edges darker so you get a reflection
here just play with the gradient now so
once you got the reflection that's fine
we'll walk with under stuff we will
create a shine over here so I'll just
duplicated ctrl c ctrl F in front change
its color to maybe gradient choose a
gradient and choose some transparency
colors change this color to white and
this one also to white and with a
creating tool just drag it down and now
we'll go to transparency and we'll just
adjust this stuff we will I'll keep this
overlay and with the overlay I'll just
play with some green color so did glue
it's a create some glow over it so in
this way we have created some shine
effect some glossiness and all we have
used 3d part as well as the graphic that
is 2d part and combining together we
have created this outstanding a logo you
can see that and just clear let's give
some name to it so I'll just keep this
orbit o r VI D orbit and let's find some
suitable text at through this we'll be
shooting this logo
so here I think this text is going to
suit with this logo orbit I just change
this color to gray little bit of
greenness and just which is the size
please sit over there carefully and this
is the way you can create your unique
and dynamic looking logo hope you enjoy
the tutorial and don't forget to check
out the next tutorial coming up thank
you very much
