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 talk to this video write down in the

you really do find it useful I’m gonna go back tomorrow with yet more graphic
design content for you guys to stay tuned here are satori graphics until
next time does on your future today peace
