for this logo design in Illustrator you can take a letter to use as a template for the line
effect I'm using an L but you can choose whatever letter you wish it helps you
lock the layer so doesn't accidentally move around the artboard throughout the
logo tutorial you will need the rulers open so that you can bring guides down
onto your design so hit command or ctrl R to open them I will use one guide as a
top border and then they want to add five guides that evenly spaced across
the letter use the rule is at the top to make sure that they evenly apply
now click and drag across all of the vertical guides and then hold down the
alt/option key until you see this icon up here and click and drag to duplicate
the guides
I'm going to show you a neat little trick with new guides still selected go
to object transform and rotate pipe in 90 degrees and you can see the new
guides can easily be put in place on the horizontal sections of your letter our
guides now set for the logo design in today's illustrator tutorial select a
stroke you may be able to see over the letter template and then grab the pen
tool they go into a path using the guides much like an old Nokia game
called snake on the old school phone such as the 3210 I love that game
anyway if you're not so good with the pen tool we can edit the curves and the
paths the direct selection tool afterwards
as you can see here I'm making a curve at 180 degree turn and remember can
clean it up after with the direct selection tool at that fast for this
part I want to remind those you asked about the full logo design process video
from start to finish I'm waiting for my new camera to arrive
and once it does I'm going to finish that video where I rebrand my very home
to throw a graphics logo design
once you complete take the selection tool and delete all of your guides and
then drag your pencil path off of the letter
I'm going to select black and the stroke color and then put a stroke wait up a
bit
this is where we can now take the direct selection tool and go back in and edit
the curves and paths of our design you want to try to make it symmetrical and
perfectly round for professional Lego design once happy open at the straight
window as you want to round the ends off the line and then select these settings
here you will now see the line is rounded at the very end I put the strip
weight up even more and when you're ready slide the scissors tool and then
on the line click the two areas to cut into a section of your line you can then
use a selection tool to delete that specific part
you notice that the ends are still rounded on to the new putout parts and
this is what we want do this on any areas of your design that you want to
add this effect on once you've cut out the sections of your logo design you
need to learn the stroke of your logo making a shape rather than the stroke
to be able to see the great in effect fully on the logo I'm just going to add
a black square behind and then lock it
you need to select all of the lines of your Logo design one selected add a
gradient fill here edit the color of your gradient you can go to the gradient
window here to make sure the gradient is evenly spread across the entire logo
design illustrator take the gradient tool here and enter a line across your
design and that's the end of this logo design Illustrated tutorial all you need
to do now is add some text and you're done what do you think of this logo
