what is that people welcome back to Satori graphics the home of graphic
design content right here on YouTube I'm going to show you guys several
techniques on how to make this Logo design using a deep illustrator so
follow along and recreate this cool Lego design today
so let's get designing and create the slick illustrator logo design in today's
tutorial a quick satori tip you may want to make sure that you have the keyboard
increments quite low for nudging objects precisely and also you want to activate
the smart guide settings for further accuracy in your logo design today also
we're going to be making heavy use of the Pathfinder function illustrator so
you can go ahead and open the Pathfinder window like so press L for the ellipse
tool and then hold down shift and click and drag to generate a circle press
command or ctrl C to copy it and then press command or ctrl F to paste it in
place exactly at the top now you can resize the new circle slightly smaller
than the original one use the eyedropper tool here to sample the color of the
canvas so you can see how thick the new shape is going to be once happy select
both circles and use the minus front option in the Pathfinder window to cut
away the smaller circle into the lower one press command or control R to open
up your rulers and then drag a guide from the left hand side select your
guide and the logo shape and then use the vertical align option in the align
window
press P for the pencil and draw a line perfectly from the left side of the
circle like so all of the way up to the guide select off of the pen tool path
and then I'm going to change the stroke color so it's more visible against the
black shape zoom in with command or ctrl + on your keyboard and then make
absolutely sure the line flows with the contour of the circle you can press a
for the direct selection tool so you can move the anchor points around so once
you've done that guys use the alt option key to duplicate the line
take your time again to line up the second line and use a direct selection
tool when need be however make sure that it stays parallel to the original line
we only need to design one side of our logo today because later we're going to
cut the shape in half and duplicate it over as this logo design is going to be
symmetrical
use the pencil to connect the lines into a fig shape and inflict the stroke over
to a feel we oppress command or control why to enter into outline mode so we can
be ultra precise and are able to see more clearly what we're doing so we won
the two shapes are joined perfectly at the edges I forgot to connect the shape
here with the pen tool
use a direct selection tool to move the anchor point ever so slightly to make
sure it's exactly touching the line edge I'm so fired in here that these
movements are actually really really small and tiny once your shapes are
perfectly in place for your straighter logo design leave outline mode with
command or control Y and then unite the two shapes together in the Pathfinder
window grab the pencil and click the top Anchor Point and then hold down shift
and drag a line perfectly along the center of your logo design connect the
path and in select the location and the new path use the minus front option in
the Pathfinder window and then duplicate and reflect the shape to make a
symmetrical design for your logo today
then take the pen tool once more and perfectly draw a line along the
left-hand side here and use the Pathfinder tool to cut away the shape
again cut the shape exactly in half with the pen tool and the Pathfinder
duplicate it and reflect it and then join the two shapes together which will
be the basis for our later design in today's Illustrator tutorial
you know but you must make absolute sure these two shapes are perfectly aligned
by zooming in completely to the shape
now press M for the rectangle tool and create a horizontal rectangle this is
going to create the a symbol within our logo design today a aqua that follows
the water theme in this logo design carefully resize and place it until
you're happy with how it looks and then select all shapes and unite them
together in the path on the window for our logo design mark I will now show you
a quick trick on how to round off the top of the a so enter back into outline
mode and then press L for the ellipse tool create a circle and carefully place
at the top so the edges of the circle perfectly touch the edges of the a-frame
on your Lego design this might take some time to get
absolutely perfect you can also align everything with the align window
once it's positioned in place locate the shape builder tool and then select every
shape on your design and use the shape builder tool by holding down the
alt/option key to remove the top section and then release the autopsy key and
unite everything together you might want to zoom in and remove excess shapes or
parts of the design like Sara so coming back out of outline mode we're now going
to use the pen tool and add a curvy shape at the bottom of our logo which is
going to add to the overall Aqua and water theme of today's loca design
tutorial if you've been enjoying today's video and let me know with a comment and
the like below
you can also use the direct selection tool to adjust the new shave also I find
taking the smooth tool here is a very easy and awesome way to perfect the
style there's a logo design so select everything that makes up your logo
illustrator and then unite in a pathfinder window I've got one final
touch to add guys to take the pen tool and make a shape here at the bottom
which will act like a highlight of the water droplet on your logo
select the two shapes a minus front option a path under window and that is
today's logo design Illustrator tutorial you can now add a logo type
and a color to your logo design so there is today's video on how to make this
neat aqua logo design in adobe illustrator let me know what you guys
