media could it really does help out my channel but anyway let's jump right into
this tutorial on how to design a logo using the perspective grid in adobe
illustrator in a new document in Adobe Illustrator we need to first create a
perspective grid for the logo design tutorial you can show the grid here but
you need to locate the perspective grid tool to actually edit it it may take a
little bit again used to but for this look at as I'm you want to have a kind
of angle view looking down on the logo using the perspective grid
you can extend the length of the grid here but you also want to increase the
amount of squares like so
when you have you perspective grid ready press P to locate the pen tool and then
check the stroke option only in the color palette make a path around like so
in a kind of reversed L shape and then click the path at the very end
you can press me to select off of the pen tool path then again with the pen
tool draw another shape to the other side of the perspective grid you want to
connect the corner like so so it gives a good impression of a 3d shape and a good
perspective the circle icon lets you know when you can close the path
properly now flip the strokes of the shapes over to fills but make sure to
have two different colors but it doesn't matter what the colors actually are at
this stage in the logo design tutorial
then hold down the alt option key and click and drag to duplicate the two
shapes with them post still selected reflect the shapes like so and then
position them perfectly next to the original shapes as you can see the logo
starting to take shape finally use the pen tool to finish up the last shape
along the top and another third color to the shape I use to grid squares for the
apex of the right hub
you
you can then hide the perspective grid as you didn't actually need to use it
anymore in this logo design tutorial
now we need to adjust the colors as a shadow and highlights is depicted
properly you can use the eyedropper tool to help with this and the shark eyes eye
on your keyboard so once you have your shading highlight sections correct it's
a good idea to add the final colors I'm gonna use shaded blue for my design and
you can hold down shift to select multiple objects at once
you know need to hold down shift to select three shapes and then using the
alt option key duplicate them over to the right and perfectly align them in
place
then also duplicate the top section and if you have them perfectly in place the
logo design symbol is now finished on this tutorial on using the perspective
grid now to add some finishing touches
take the pen tool and create a shape like so you can use a direct selection
tool to edit the position of the anchor points flick the stroke over to a fill
and then send the shape to the back
you can then have agreed into the shape
you won the gradient to be 90 degrees and you want the lighter side to have a
0% opacity and the dark side should be a kind of dark gray judicata shape a word
and reflect it nicely on the other side of a logo design
so lastly you need to draw in a shape in the middle to finish up the shadow
section of your logo
and the absolute final stage here is to add some logo type to complement the
logo design in today's perspective grid tutorial I chose to use logo type of the
dark gray color as if it looks more professional than black the font I'm
using is actually a fun and made myself called Satori sans and it's a link in
