Logo Design with Figma - Scalable Vector Graphics - Part 3

Explore the Instagram logo design process featured in abstract episode five, season two, tracing the evolution from old to new logo with round shapes and a focus on simplicity.

learn how a big company approaches logo redesign, balancing emotional investment with collaborative team design, and why a simple, scalable logo designed over months remains distinguishable at small sizes.

Analyze the original Mozilla Firefox logo, dissect its components, and sketch each part with pencil and boolean operations, then complete the fox and fire details.

Learn how scalable vector graphics power logo design in Figma by building a logo with circles, ellipses, and the pen tool, adjusting size, color, visibility, and locking the main frame.

Learn to use the pen tool to sketch a fox logo in figma, fine-tune points, bend lines, and finalize a two-tailed vector with fill and hidden stroke.

Refine a vector logo with the pen and move tools, adjust anchor points, and finalize by applying black fill and hiding the stroke.

Refine the face in a vector logo using the pen tool to bend and adjust anchor points, apply fill while managing strokes, and begin detailing the flames.

Master flame creation in Figma by using the pen tool to bend curves, adjust points, and refine a sharp tail, then remove stroke to finalize the main object.

Clean workspace, create a frame with F key, duplicate items with alt, arrange and rename frame to sketching, lock logo, then prepare for coloring to see how parts fit together.

Duplicate the fox silhouette and use the bottom vector as a mask to reveal upper layers, then apply gradient fills and color tweaks, grouping the result into a fox layer.

Design scalable vector graphics for a logo in a figma workflow, using gradients, layer locking, and copying gradient properties across fox parts to achieve a close, editable result.

Apply vector editing in Figma to build the logo tail and flame with vertical gradient fills, then copy, paste, align layers, and refine colors for a cohesive vector design.

Apply a middle-background fill and two inner shadows (top and bottom) to each circle. Adjust shadows, blur, and circle alignment to match the overall logo gradient.

Create a new vector with the pen tool, and use a boolean subtract on a big circle. Apply a gradient fill, copy the object, and compare with the original png.

Select and drag a vector object in Figma, zoom in to inspect the pencil stroke, and compare the original’s pointy edges with the copy.

The lecture outlines essential logo design techniques in figma, including stacking layers, gradients, masking, and boolean operations, and notes time constraints that limited finer color tuning.
