in today's professional Loo design
tutorial in Illustrator we're going to
be using circles to create this
contemporary logo design so follow along
with satori graphics and create
this logo design yourself using Adobe Illustrator
welcome back to satori graphics everybody
home of graphic design content I hope
you weekend went well and are you ready
for today's professional logo design
tutorial yesterday I sent out my weekly
to throw graphics newsletter and then if
you are subscribed received three free
geometrical vectors as well as snippets
of info on my content to come if you
want to subscribe to my newsletter
head over to satori graphics. net also
in the newsletter was a notification I'm
going from five videos per week on this
channel down to four so Monday to
Thursday this is because I find myself
with a very little time at the moment
and instead of rushing I want to keep my
content of a high standard I may be able
to squeeze in a fifth video now and then
there's going to be at least four videos
every single week on this channel for
this professional logo design tutorial
we need to create a new document in the
straighter and then open up both a
pathfinder window and the aligned window
as we're going to be using both of these
quite a lot for this logo design
so let the ellipse tool and make sure
you have the stroke selected and not the
color fill hold down shift on your
keyboard and create a perfect circle
like so and hold down the alt/option key
that you placate the circle and make it
a little bit smaller than the original
one now select both circles and use
these two functions in the align window
Center the smaller circle within the
larger one select both circles and a hit
command or control G to group them or
you can head up to the top and group
them here
duplicate the group of two circles two
more times so you now have six circles
in total like I have here select all of
the circles and then use the two
functions in the line window I'm going
to use here duplicate a circle and then
make sure it falls perfectly into place
on the inner circle with the right hand
side as I'm doing here I line them and
then do the same for the other side now
a circle guide to set up perfectly for
creating a professional logo design in
today's tutorial select all the circles
and then grab the shape builder tool
this tool is going to really help make
things easier for us making our logo
design in today's Illustrator tutorial by default
the shape builder tool has a plus sign
above it this is what we want to begin
with simply click and hold on the click
as you go along the path where we want
the logo to join to get our whole shape
if you make a mistake hit command or
control Z
this is the shape we want for our professional
logo design
now how done the alt/option key and
you'll notice that the minus symbols
above the cursor this will our stem
remove lines and shapes we do not want
for our logo design you must hold down
the alt/option key the entire time you
select and draw over the area's you do
not want to use make sure to pay close
attention to your entire design in
removing all of the shapes and lines
like here for example there are a few
anomalies we can use the direct
selection tool to select and remove them
once you've done that I flick the logo
design mark over to a fill as a pastry
stroke now the gradient fill here and
change the direction to 90 degrees you
can choose whatever color you want to
put the gradient your professional
but I'm going for shades of blue we want
the darker shade of color at the top of
the logo design and then on the bottom
and lighter version of that color I'm
going to make the bottom of my design
close enough to white but not exactly
weight
now we're going to add some shading to
our laser designing list right there
to make it look that more professional
to make the left side appeared if you
come at the top of the midsection we can
add a power of shadow with the pencil
make a shape similar to mine here add a
gradient fill to this section and then
change the direction of the shadow so
it's coming from the left edge then on
the right hand side lower the opacity
down to zero
on the right side of the logo design we
can do the same again the pencil shape
will not be as white here and thus you
need to make the Great India more smooth
by making the light in the shadow
contrast not to your best
I've added one more shading area the
bottom the logo design here using the
same method as before finally we just
need to add some logo type to our design
to finish the professional feel to it I
use a triangle shape in the place of the
a in satori so I simply wrote out
satori without the a and I change the
curling to 900 the font I went for for
this logo design was gill sans I find
that something sans-serif' robust and
thin doesn't look professional for logo
designs to make the triangle use the
polygon tool and I use three sides I
flick the triangular through a stroke
and resize it to fit a logo type
once happy you may want out on this
trick of your design and create that
lens of the type and there you have it a
professional logo design complete with
today's Illustrated tutorial brought to
