How to Create a Logo in Illustrator | Adobe Creative Cloud

Download Illustrator to get started: www.adobe.com/products/illust...
Learn how to turn basic shapes into logos, icons, and illustrations using the Shape Builder tool.
Start from scratch, or download practice files for a head start: adobe.ly/2oERk2t. Steps below.
1. Choose the Rectangle tool, then click and drag to draw.
2. Choose the Direct Selection tool, and draw a marquee to select specific corners. Drag the corner rounding widgets to their maximums to create the owl’s body shape.
3. Switch to the Selection tool, then Option/Alt+drag to duplicate the shape.
4. With the copy selected, open the Transform panel (Window - Transform) and select Scale Corners, then Shift+drag a corner handle to scale, and drag to reposition it.
5. Choose the Ellipse tool and Shift+drag to draw circles for the eye.
6. Use the Selection tool and Shift+click to select the circles and smaller teardrop shape, then Option/Alt+drag to duplicate them all at once.
7. With objects still selected, go to Object - Transform - Reflect (Vertical) to create the other half of the owl’s face. Scale up the innermost circle of the right eye.
8. Shift+click to select the eye shapes as shown, then choose the Shape Builder tool. Hold Option/Alt, then drag through shapes to subtract and create a crescent.
9. Use the Ellipse tool to draw one more circle over the owl’s body. Choose the Shape Builder tool. Hold Control/Command and click to drag across the area where the body and circle intersect, then Option/Alt+drag over the excess circle to subtract it.
10. Choose the Selection tool and Shift+click to select all the shapes you’d like to be black, then swap the stroke and fill using the arrow icon near the swatches in the Tools panel. (Optional: set the Stroke color to none.)
11. Click the owl’s wing to select it, then go to the Swatches panel to add a pop of color.

That was so pleasing to watch I barely paid attention. I'm delighted to watch that again.

[@Tackleboys]

Hi! I'm a concern user here how can you set smooth lines after you draw on Android devices

[@Ninja-iq2xt]

Please, make more such kind of tutorials.

[@dianaelizabeth_]

soooo good!

[@pukkademps]

Man this is giving my courage to try my hand at making my own logo again

[@LooneyBinAdventures]

Illuminati! Genius! Even the one eye shut to symbolize the all seeing eye.

[@ahmedmohmed4346]

when i try to do this on adobe 2020 CC the rectangles/shapes overlay on the top of each other and you cannot see the intersections?

[@dreadiaries1]

Good 😍👌🏻 got it with my sticker mule pack of stickers

[@Rosomyat]

Great and cool 😊

[@akashdutt1499]

I did it !!! yayyy!

[@renzotorres3321]

Que hermoso proyecto. gracias

[@bumblebee9394]

who can tell who the author of this music track and where can download or buy this track ?

[@ericthomas834]

What font did you use for the business card?

[@2AvengedNick2]

Wow, I wish I could be that good at using Adobe software

[@johnbricks5633]

Hello, This is a wonderful tutorial. How can one make such a video tutorial, what software application was used for video creation and editing. Regards.

[@multijunction6306]

amazing

[@jstudio146]

Nice

[@expertgamingworld]

Cool

[@RonFowler-ou812]

What software are you using to create the videos (especially the tool circle pop-ups).

[@sutoreikyatto]

Guess Hint: it's an Adobe product. Adobe premiere Pro most likely

[@mohsenkh2693]

How to make video like this?

[@j.i4703]

What software was used to record this and the magnifications?

[@iKingRPG]

J. I they could have used premiere to edit it.

[@astronnut]

Does anyone know who the music is from?

[@heydra]

Please could someone explain to me the logic Adobe is taking regarding Zooming on their apps, AI/PH reverses the direction of zoom when you specify on your system which direction your system should zoom.

[@vaypet]

I have CS6 and I couldn't get the rounded curves as perfectly as here. There was no option to just select and drag the two corners to such a nice even rounded curve at the same time. I did have the ption to convert to curve but it didnt achieve the same effect. I also use a PC so alt option isnt working for me. Ideas/suggestions?

[@balijerseystore5238]

Same as me

[@mindlesscargo]

There’s a written tutorial in description if you are asking for help

[@Emy8791]

At 0:40 what is the alternative keystroke for Alt on a regular keyboard?

[@graphicdesigner4520]

same question

[@bishr5630]

Hey buddy! The alternative key for 'alt' would the command key bind. Hopefully this helps ;)

[@ahmedhassan5162]

overall very nice, but please don't skip the tiny steps

[@sydanieee]

how do i deselect the shape of the owl to select the owl eye ? I of course clicked deselect from the drop down but every time i click inside the owl eye, it selects the owl body

[@sydanieee]

nvm i locked the layer it was on :)

[@patrickwilson7377]

how do you duplicate the image when you drag at 0:17

[@MohamedAchraf]

Maintain "Alt" or "Option" And drag

[@kronussurvival1568]

Mohamed Achraf AHA! I FOUND YOU! haha love your vids man.

[@MohamedAchraf]

Thank you!! Thanks man ;)

[@mrredblob]

Hold down ALT or OPTION. Or you can copy and paste it the old fashioned way! :)

[@allthehoopla4360]

You can also click 'Command C' then 'Command F' and it place the new copy right on top of the original and then you can drag from there.

[@exdesignr]

Anyone know the music? SO FREAKING INSPIRATIONAL!

[@JjGabrielPianist]

ikr!

[@Coffeeinamug]

i think someone in adobe made it

[@Bpjames]

Sounds similar to a Thomas Newman soundtrack. Look him up if you are unfamiliar, you won't be disappointed!

[@lorenzopoto5110]

@@Bpjames love his stuff. His son was in my high school class!

[@ay8528]

EXDesignr what’s the song called

[@mplsridah]

Why is there no option for copying and editing something you already have on desktop? For example, I have a logo I really liked and I saved it on my phone, I wanna get logo inspiration from it, so is there an option to mimic it or at least edit it to fit my desired logo? This might confuse you, but this is the only way I could explain it

[@shorx9199]

Put it on illustrator and then image trace it?

[@mplsridah]

SHORX I did that and still no luck. I've gave up on that. I used a free app to make the same logo, and deleted the whole Adobe software from my computer

[@luketaylor2002]

Music by Thomas Newman?

[@og_dipesh7435]

I think you guys know all Adobe apps tips because you made them

[@t.e.burgos3263]

Is there any tutorial that is not as fast moving? It si quite confusing... Thanks!

[@ihendrawijaya]

there is pause button

[@8n8ent]

Did it have to be an owl? Did the eyes have to look like that?? 🤔

[@kilobytes99]

very easy.

[@DarrenDavis2]

And my logo designer has taken 2 months to get our logo transformed from paper to digital...clearly they should be taking 1-minute in Illustrator. Thanks, Adobe.

[@james-stevenmulraney614]

how does that direct selection stuff work at 11 secs making rectangle semi circle at the top?

[@maxinevz1853]

I agree. My illustrator does not let me do that

[@yasserhadjersi8902]

same !! :(

[@james-stevenmulraney614]

CS6 :-(

[@bisalmallick407]

Interesting

[@LifeatIndraKarya-kf7hq]

00:17 you missed the 'press alt' step, and at 00:28 i can't even select the eyes part because i selected the body instead..

[@vasudevandraze]

coool

[@shreyaskulkarni8476]

background music name?

[@MonkeysDream]

You can find other tutorials like this, on my channel! Thanks for the support :)

[@arslanmir4639]

background music name? pls tell :

[@kubabedyga6356]

Arslan Mir It’s a professional company, they won’t tell you 😥

[@Baldoxxx4000]

Just like that huh

[@navypinkdesign]

These 1-min videos only display what Illustrator can do. They are not tutorials (no where is it labeled as a tutorial; that would be a misnomer). Tutorials are in-depth walkthroughs. These are highlights meant to entice you to learn more about and/or buy the software.

[@TheCupfulBoy]

The tutorial you are looking for is tutorial for dummies....Even for a beginner like me understands it and fascinate by it

[@saya1_]

easy peasy...! yeah right -_-

[@mplsridah]

lol it's not, right?

[@kitakelley1709]

But how do you keep all the parts together? Once you're done how do you make it one object instead of a bunch of layers?

[@lillyranjan3579]

Click on it and it gives bunch of options... just click group. And it basically stays together.

[@gotoangel2812]

who pays for adobe apps?

[@mreinecker]

This just leaves me angry... I have no idea how any of this happened. It just seemed like magic was happening

[@ihendrawijaya]

this kind of tutorial need to atleast know very basic how it works in adobe illustrator

[@Russia.without.violence]

Oooh

[@BaKonCute-NEONZX]

0:51 1% understand

[@doctor_crow]

Just draw one yourself like I did

[@mrredblob]

Thanks, Adobe! I did this tutorial on my own photo and here's what I got: adobe.ly/2yFXeci.

[@eponymous_graphics]

this is week ... LAST WEAK ! thumbs down. Logo bites, as well. EDIT thumbs down # 83 END
