follow along as I show you how to create
this contemporary logo design in
illustrator for today's graphic design
tutorial
how's it going everyone welcome back to
to satori graphics home of graphic design
content today a contemporary logo design
tutorial in Illustrator which I admit
it's a little bit more advanced than an
average logo design tutorial if you do
end up enjoying this tutorial however
let me know by leaving a comment and a like
on your way out it really helps my
channel for this contemporary logo
design in Illustrator the first thing we
need to do is open a new document and then
select the stroke in the color palette
select the ellipse tool and hold down
shift to click and create a perfect
circle if you hold down alt on your
keyboard until you see this icon appear
you can then duplicate the circle
releasing out once you have them in the
line window you can make sure that layer
level and horizontal plane take note of
this thin shape in the middle the two
circles this is what we want and it
should be as thin as minus here next
open up the Pathfinder window and use
this option here to create a thin shape
we just looked at you can adjust the
stroke weight here to whatever you feel
is best next we need to grab the rotate
tool or hit command R on your keyboard
you will notice this file on target
appear drag it down to the bottom center
of the shape and click once and then
hold down the alt/option key to make
this icon appear and click again
in the new window open 72 degrees so
that the shape will be copied and
rotated four more times and then hit
copy it is very important that the two
shapes touch perfectly like they are
here if they don't your shape is either
too fat or too thin in which case go
back and adjust the size of your shape
and start the rotate tool section of the
logo tutorial again once you have them copied
like I do here hit command D or ctrl V
on a PC to repeat three more times
leaving you now with five shapes in
total you then should have a shape that
looks similar to mine here select all
five shapes and then go up to object and
rotate it by 36 degrees
he command or control eyes open of your
rulers and drag guides from the top Lana
left like so
using the pen tool make a path like I'm
doing here making sure everything is
symmetrical you can adjust you that
they're in collection to afterwards
once happy use the eyedropper tool to
copy the color and the stroke of the
lines previously now we only need two
guides that will run down the exact
center of our design select the new
shape and then of the rotate tool place
the target icon in the exact center like
before I'll come out to bring up the
rotate tool window and to 72 degrees
I think preview to see if it will line
up as it should once happy click copy
and then hit command D again to repeat
the operation as the first shape of the
contemporary logo design out of the way
just a stroke weight to a thickness that
you want to get later design
driver guide from the side that's going
to run down the center of the design and
then click to select the shapes you can
hold down shift to click back over the
guide key selecting it this next part
requires some trial and error we need to
retake this shape four more times so
with the rotate tool place the target
icon
somewhere along the guide like I am here
hold-down out as we did before and then
with 72° types in opiate the petals
edges need to be touching to make the
contemporary later design if they don't
he commands each step back a step and
then try again I'm going to move the
target icon up a tiny bit to see if
that's going to be the right place and
there you can see now they touch we can
go ahead and press command D as we have
done previously and copy the shape
around our contemporary logo design
illustrator is nearly complete the hard
parts are over now select all of the
shapes and I learn the stroke like so
open up the path under window and unite
all of the shapes as one we now need to
make a circle that is only a stroke
another fill which has a very thick
stroke
the measurements are going to be
relevant to the size of your illustrator
board and making sure it's nearly stick
at your design place the circle over the
top of your design and align it ideally
save
we then need to select the circle only
and I'll learn the stroke
once you've done that select both shapes
I'm gonna tap on the window choose this
third option here now make two circles
with equal waves one along the inside
border and one along the outside border
when you design the something like this
one here select everything and outline
the stroke one more time then you need
to you know the shapes together as one
in the Pathfinder window you can now add
a gradient to our design you can choose
whatever colors you wish or if you don't
want to use a gradient you can just add
a color fill
working some tanks below and maybe go
back and adjust the weights of your
border circles like I have done here so
