Let’s set a nice background for our final design. Make sure to place the shape we have just created underneath our logo design ( Shift + Ctrl / Cmd + [ ). It will create 30 new shapes in between which will look like a smooth transition from one shape to another. Set the Spacing to Specified Steps and the value to 30. Select both shapes and under the Object select Blend > Make.
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR LOGO FULL
Make sure to place the gray shape with full Opacity on the top ( Shift + Ctrl / Cmd + ] ). Make sure to hold the Shift key on your keyboard for straight dragging. Holding the Alt / Opt key on your keyboard click on the gray shape and drag it downwards. Make sure to set the Fill color for the new shape to gray (#666666). It will unite all elements into one shape placed on the same spot as our logo, perfectly centered. Under the Pathfinder Panel hit the Unite button. We will be using the Blend Tool to achieve that.įirst we will select all the elements we have created so far and duplicate them (Ctrl / Cmd + C, Ctrl / Cmd / Cmd + F). In this step, we will create a nice soft shadow for our logo. Make sure to turn paths into editable shapes by selecting Object > Expand Appearance. You should end up with something like this. Repeat the previous step for the other four sides of the logo as well. Just make sure to set the Profile to Width Profile 1. We will set the Stroke Width to 1 pixel, but you can adjust it how you like. Remove the Fill color and set the Stroke color to #FA91FA. Basically, the idea is to end up with the straight path on the inside edge of the logo. With the Direct Selection Tool (A) select all the anchor points we don’t need and remove them by hitting the Delete key on the keyboard (To be sure not to mess up the rest of the illustration enter the Isolate Selected Path mode. We will duplicate (Ctrl / Cmd + C, Ctrl / Cmd + F) each of the five sides of the logo. To do that we are going to use a similar technique we have used few steps earlier when we created paths to divide yellow shape. Keep in mind that the angle of the drawn gradient is very important.
We will be using only linear color gradients. Our logo is now ready to get some nice color gradients. Also, you should remove all unwanted anchor points by using the Delete Anchor Point Tool (-). If there are any small particles created by the imperfect positioning of elements make sure to remove them.
Ungroup (Shift + Ctrl / Cmd + G) the shape we have just created. It will divide our yellow shape into 5 stripes that we will turn into nice colorful ribbons very soon. Select all elements we have created so far and under the Pathfinder Panel hit the Divide button. In the end, you should have something like this. We are going to repeat the previous step in order to create four more paths. This way you’ll be able to place the path at the right spot. You can also zoom that part of the illustration by selecting the Zoom Tool (Z) from the Tools Panel. Grab the Selection Tool (V) from the Tools Panel and move the path we have just created as shown in the picture below. You should end up with a single path with a curved edge, just as shown in the picture below. Remove the Fill color and set the Stroke color to any color you want. Select the Direct Selection Tool (A) from the Tools Panel, select and remove (by hitting the Delete key on your keyboard) anchor points as shown in the picture below. This way we will be able to modify the pink shape without messing up the rest of our design.
Under right click select Isolate Selected Compound Path. Since some people have difficulties with this tool we will try to avoid it by using a small trick.ĭuplicate (Ctrl / Cmd + C, Ctrl / Cmd + F) the yellow shape and change the Fill color of the copy. One of the possible ways to do that is to create certain paths by using the Pen Tool (P). To do that we need to divide the shape we have just created into 5 parts. In this step, we will try to create specific ribbons that will constitute our logo. It will cut out the middle part of the Polygon. Select both shapes and under the Pathfinder Panel hit the Minus Front button. Now we need to create a “hole” in our Polygon. Select them and under the Align Panel hit both, Horizontal and Vertical Align Center. Set the parameters as shown in the picture below and hit the OK button. Grab it from the Tools Panel and click on the Artboard to bring up the Polygon Options Box. Next thing we have to do is to create the “hole” in our modified pentagon.For that, we will use the Polygon Tool again. It will turn the object into an editable shape. Select the yellow shape and under Effect select Stylize > Round Corners. Set the Radius to 150 pixels and Sides to 5 and hit the OK button. Select it in the Tools Panel and click on the Artboard. Make sure to set the dimensions to 500 x 500 pixels and the Color Mode to RGB.
