Welcome to logo design with head designer Lauren Taylor. He will be walking you through the foundations and fundementals of a great logo design. We'll show you how to build a logo from scratch using illistrator.
Introducing the name of the company and the concept that the client was looking for. Company profile is important to understanding what the client will want from his logo. Sometimes the designer is in full control of the the brand and other times the client explains his ideas and the designer brings them to life.
Creating 20 initial sketches to start your design process will really take your logo design to the next level. This secret has helped Lauren become a great logo designer. Take the brand idea and implementing 20 sketches will really help you accomplish your logo goals as well. This will help you extract the idea out of your clients head.
Choosing fonts can be a very interesting process, Lauren will walk you through in-depth and give you tips on how to find great fonts. You can see exactly what your logo fonts will look like before you go to far into the design. When you pick a font tool you can scan for lot's of different options.
Researching and finding fonts further. Here we will show you the way to find a great font. To download the TTF and you can bring this file into Adobe illustrator and away you go. This will be a quick but very important lesson.
Lauren will show you how to make a vector icon. It all starts with a black line. You will see examples of different brush and stroke sizes. You can find icons already online, but after this course you'll be able to create your own.
In this lecture we will munipulate the vector icon to make it fit into the logo. We will be mirroring the feather and distort it. This is when we begin to round it out and put it around the letters. Again, now we will begin to piece the logo together.
San Diego Elite Rides Logo construction. Now we are beginning to construct the logo and putting it together. We are going to put the SDER in the middle with the spelled out name under neath. Lauren will walk you through the process and how you begin to bring it all together while starting to construct the logo.
Adding color to make the black pop. Now we will use the color scales to add more vibrant beautiful colors to our logo. We will fill in the background and match the colors as well as adding a shadow and gradiant. Going through the process helps you discover the amount of time it actually takes to build a great logo.
Almost done, we will finish with the color, play around with the strooks and of course adding the name. Adding the name in our new font and alligning it to the logo will take some patience as hand crafting the emblum then adding the name font is a very dificult tasks. Fear not my super students, we will show you how it's done.
Horizontal vs. Vertical is another important element. This article is about the physical and mathematical concepts. For the concept in economics it's called rise over run.
After creating the logo, you will get it ready in both color and black and white form. This is important for a number of reasons. One being that not all print will be in full color, another is any newsprint will also probably be in black and white. It's a good thing to know.
Now that the logo is done, we are going to get it ready for print. This way we can share the San Diego Elite Rides logo with our client.
