follow along as I show you how to create this contemporary logo design in
illustrator for today's graphic design tutorial
how's it going everyone welcome back to to satori graphics home of graphic design
content today a contemporary logo design tutorial in Illustrator which I admit
it's a little bit more advanced than an average logo design tutorial if you do
end up enjoying this tutorial however let me know by leaving a comment and a like
on your way out it really helps my channel for this contemporary logo
design in Illustrator the first thing we need to do is open a new document and then
select the stroke in the color palette select the ellipse tool and hold down
shift to click and create a perfect circle if you hold down alt on your
keyboard until you see this icon appear you can then duplicate the circle
releasing out once you have them in the line window you can make sure that layer
level and horizontal plane take note of this thin shape in the middle the two
circles this is what we want and it should be as thin as minus here next
open up the Pathfinder window and use this option here to create a thin shape
we just looked at you can adjust the stroke weight here to whatever you feel
is best next we need to grab the rotate tool or hit command R on your keyboard
you will notice this file on target appear drag it down to the bottom center
of the shape and click once and then hold down the alt/option key to make
this icon appear and click again in the new window open 72 degrees so
that the shape will be copied and rotated four more times and then hit
copy it is very important that the two shapes touch perfectly like they are
here if they don't your shape is either too fat or too thin in which case go
back and adjust the size of your shape and start the rotate tool section of the
logo tutorial again once you have them copied like I do here hit command D or ctrl V
on a PC to repeat three more times leaving you now with five shapes in
total you then should have a shape that looks similar to mine here select all
five shapes and then go up to object and rotate it by 36 degrees
he command or control eyes open of your rulers and drag guides from the top Lana
left like so using the pen tool make a path like I'm
doing here making sure everything is symmetrical you can adjust you that
they're in collection to afterwards
once happy use the eyedropper tool to copy the color and the stroke of the
lines previously now we only need two guides that will run down the exact
center of our design select the new shape and then of the rotate tool place
the target icon in the exact center like before I'll come out to bring up the
rotate tool window and to 72 degrees I think preview to see if it will line
up as it should once happy click copy and then hit command D again to repeat
the operation as the first shape of the contemporary logo design out of the way
just a stroke weight to a thickness that you want to get later design
driver guide from the side that's going to run down the center of the design and
then click to select the shapes you can hold down shift to click back over the
guide key selecting it this next part requires some trial and error we need to
retake this shape four more times so with the rotate tool place the target
icon somewhere along the guide like I am here
hold-down out as we did before and then with 72° types in opiate the petals
edges need to be touching to make the contemporary later design if they don't
he commands each step back a step and then try again I'm going to move the
target icon up a tiny bit to see if that's going to be the right place and
there you can see now they touch we can go ahead and press command D as we have
done previously and copy the shape around our contemporary logo design
illustrator is nearly complete the hard parts are over now select all of the
shapes and I learn the stroke like so
open up the path under window and unite all of the shapes as one we now need to
make a circle that is only a stroke another fill which has a very thick
stroke
the measurements are going to be relevant to the size of your illustrator
board and making sure it's nearly stick at your design place the circle over the
top of your design and align it ideally save
we then need to select the circle only and I'll learn the stroke
once you've done that select both shapes I'm gonna tap on the window choose this
third option here now make two circles with equal waves one along the inside
border and one along the outside border
when you design the something like this one here select everything and outline
the stroke one more time then you need to you know the shapes together as one
in the Pathfinder window you can now add a gradient to our design you can choose
whatever colors you wish or if you don't want to use a gradient you can just add
a color fill
working some tanks below and maybe go back and adjust the weights of your
border circles like I have done here so here is our final contemporary loader
