enter my giveaway as current and this Friday this logo design is something I
saw online and I thought it would be fun to show you guys how it's made so for
this minimal logo design first we need to make our fill with a CMYK value of
zero zero zero and 30 this would give us a kind of a gray tone
which we can go ahead and make a background with using the rectangle tool
once you've made the background look the layer like so
also maquon shave off to the side we're going to need that later
for the logo design itself we want a very dark gray but not totally black as
I filled the minimal logo design looks more professional with a kind of dark
grey color you want to choose a very thick and bold
San serif font me personally I've gone for Arial black which you will probably
should have on your devices
for the first letter we want to create the outlines so we're able to edit and
manipulate the shape for our logo design in today's illustrator tutorial now we
can take the direct selection tool here I start to select the points and nudge
them with the areas on your keyboard there is no exact size to this part of
the tutorial smooth them around trying to make the letter have a 3d effect to
it
using the same shade of gray take the rectangle tool and create a rectangle
lock so we want to emulate the letter H by only filling shadow so like before
use direct selection tool to manipulate the anchor points of the shape to make
this style for a mini more local design today you can hold down the alt option
key and click and drag to duplicate the shape easily so keep using direct
selection tool and imagine where the shadow on a 3d letter H would be
so here is how my design looks at the moment try to replicate the shadow as
best as you can
now we need to slide the square at the side
and we'll click the fill in the bottom-left corner and then highlight
the color code it's in command or control C to copy
take the pen tool and the maker shape is going to represent a shadow coming from
the letter e
once you've made it opt for a gradient like Sarah leave one side black or a
dark gray and then the other side paste in the code we copied just now hit
single man or ctrl V you may need to change the mate RGB you can change the
direction of the gradient here to master shadow and finally you can add some text
and you're done this which has three graphics Illustrated tutorial if you
