what is up people welcome back to Satori
graphics home of graphic design content
right here on YouTube I have to
emphasize that this sports logo design is
not mine exactly I draw inspiration from
an existing logo design I'm simply here
today teaching you new techniques to
create a sports logo design in Adobe
Illustrator and also to inspire so watch
the tutorial take notes and then go
ahead and make your own designs using
these techniques also at the very end of
the video I'm going to try and add a
nifty tip for your graphic design
workflow so watch out for those are my
videos from now on the first thing we
need to do for the sports logo design
illustrator is to grab our trusty pen
tool this is the driving force for any
vector design
I have past videos on tips and tricks
with the pen tool which I'm going to
link in the description at the end of
this video so check those out but we do
need a blog shape for our design in
today's a local design tutorial
the shape isn't super complex to make
and you can adjust everything the direct
selection tool at the end as I play this
30 second section of me using the pen
tool I would like to remind you all to
hit the bell icon next to the subscribe
button on my channel because I know not
all of my subscribers are getting my
uploads in their timeline but anyway
back to the sports logo design tutorial
you can see I'm finishing up the path
but take your time with the pen tool to
generate a cool-looking shape for the
base of your logo design
once you've finished take the direct
selection tool and click and drag the
anchors and the Bezier curves adjusting
a sports logo design as you see fit I
really like the shape of this design as
I feel the dramatic swoosh effect can
own speed and motion which is perfect
for sports logo design once you've gone
ahead and made all of the adjustments
with direct selection tour you will now
need to open up the appearance window
this is going to allow us to add
multiple strokes to our logo design at
once and give us a large scale of
adjustment on their strokes add a field
color like I'm doing here and then add a
stroke color too making sure that the
stroke is below the fill layer for the
stroke I'm going to use a very very dark
almost black color of blue increase the
stroke away until you're happy with the
sports logo design so far when I was
designing my sports logo I forgot to do
this but for both shades of blue it's
gonna help you guys if you do at this
stage make both squares of this color so
open up the color palette and copy the
color code with command C or control C
on a PC
so mix more squares offer the outboards
somewhere with these two colors so we
can sample them later
so go ahead and add a new stroke in the
appearance window and then drag it below
as before
you can play around with the stroke ways
but once you're happy paste a lighter
blue color code on to the largest stroke
with command or control V
so you now have an outer blue stroke
around the sports logo design make sure
you now have just the white stroke
selected in the color palette and by
using the pen tool we're going to draw a
highlight on the top section of our logo
design in today's illustrator tutorial
again I've sped up this section because
it would take four times as long to view
but you just want to make a shape
following the contour of the sports logo
design like I'm doing here take your
time to draw out your highlight and
remember and you can use a direct
selection tool afterwards to adjust any
part of the path
once you be connected the past flick the
stroke over to a white Phil
as you can see I've done the same thing
here on the lower half of the Sports
logo design but to add a shadow instead
of highlights I'm gonna make a block of
the dark blue color but I hope you guys
have already done there and you ever
forgotten like I did using the dark blue
sample color we're gonna draw in a black
shape from the mouth on a Sports logo
design
after the mouse finished drawing some
shapes to resemble the eyes on our angry
sports mascot so get creative with the
pen tool and drew out your shapes using
ctrl or command Z if you make a mistake
you can draw an ascension in the middle
of the eyes are we gonna cut out using
the Pathfinder tool next
we have a few more details to add so a
sports logo design in today's
illustrator tutorial and I do have that
daily tip at the very end of the video
I was posed like a mascot needs a horn
so go ahead and draw that in with the
pen to reposition of the selection to
adjust the shape with the direct
selection tool
so once you're happy add a kind of
yellow orange fill and then increase the
stroke wait
as you can see I've spent quite a bit of
time filling around with this part the
design changing the shape and the color
and so forth
to add even further detail use a dark
blue color that matches a stroke and
then use a pencil to draw some lines
like so
so here's my sports ledyba sign so far
I've added some gnarly teeth with a pen
tool and I finished the horn if you
select all of the shapes and make up the
horn and press command or control G it
should group them together sample the
blue shading color and then Joanna shape
is gonna resemble the shadow underneath
the horn
you can then move the horn to the front
of all the layers on your Sports logo
design there's one more thing to do in
today's sports logo design Adobe
Illustrator tutorial if you resize your
logo the stroke may evil on the design
because it isn't match proportionally so
in an illustrator settings make sure you
have the scale Stroke option selected
now you can resize the design and the
straggle remain proportional to the size
of the logo itself
and they have it one nifty sports lugar
design in today's tutorial graphics
adobe illustrator tutorial before we
finish I have that design tip for you to
help your graphic design workflow
something I want to add at the end of
every single video on my channel to
really help you save time and organize
your work for a better you can create
customer swatch libraries for specific
documents or design styles so open up
the swatch libraries and then create new
add a relevant name and then drop in
your colors
now you can access all the design colors
with these if you found today so
