How to design a logo with golden Ratio | Adobe Illustrator Tutorial.
Many designers search for a good tutorial about golden ratio and how to use it in logo design, I was searching for it before and I found a hard time to find good resources but there is never the good explained video.
So, today, I tried my best to explain how to use the golden ratio in logo design and how to make a logo using golden circles.
I will make many other videos related to this topic and I will explain how to use the different golden ratio method, like the golden spiral.
In this tutorial I will show you:
How to make the golden rectangle.
How to extract the golden circles from it.
How to use the golden ratio to design a logo directly on illustrator.
How to use the golden ratio to grid a sketch and make a perfect logo design.

Honestly, one of the most clean tutorials i've seen. I'm no expert or anything, but your tutorial is in self, an inspiration to experiment and to just enjoy the process along the way. With this i found a lot of ways to use the tools provided. Thank you good sir :)

[@NutsaChubinidze]

Honestly first thing that made me want to subscribe is that there's no loud cringy dubstep background music. Also, the pace of the talk is so easy to listen to and I understood everything! I'm making my first logos and this is my favourite channel from now on. Bird chirping is so calming!

[@redinca1]

The nature sound in the background gave this a special touch

[@Mocorn]

This is no joke one of the most relaxing channels on KZbin. Also, great content! I'm so glad I found this channel.

[@michaelz8235]

This reminds me of the circle stencils I had as a child and teenager. I used them to design on paper of what we now call fonts and other stuff. This is very helpful with creating design.

[@NateBartlett]

Amazing tutorial. I've been looking for someone to explain this process for a long time. Most of the videos of this on youtube, are time lapsed videos with no explanation. Thank you.

[@MohamedAchraf]

+Nate Bartlett You Are welcome, happy to help.

[@gilsonviana4936]

Absolute amazing technique. Loved the birds in the background as well.

[@Muradwasanimated]

This is amazing, I’m definitely gonna have to try messing around with this

[@ALasmry707]

Mohamed, that's a great job you do and I really appreciate sharing it with us. I'm an IT student and I love designing. Now I started learning Illustrator instead of using Photoshop because of you so THANK YOU.

[@GierlangBhaktiPutra]

Now this is it! While other tutorials provide quick sketch using those golden ratio circles, you explained in details about the design process. It is really helpful!

[@MohamedAchraf]

Glad to help

[@kleravdjed]

that has taken me 5-6 hours to make this correctly as a beginner thank u for combining so many useful instruments and skills in this tutorial!

[@theriverforth]

Thank you for this simple-to-follow tutorial without too much information! ❤️

[@adamquinlan6140]

If you double-click the scale tool and set the value of uniform scale to 161.8% you can easily increase elements by the golden ratio.

and to decrease elements, the value of uniform scale is 61.8% ? right?

[@blueyay]

@ 16.18

[@changmahwenn7632]

yes, this is what i do

[@changmahwenn7632]

I simply divide by 1.618

[@simomonster]

thanks

[@YamanKain5]

Love this Tutorial Sir.... I'm also a designer.... i have seen so many logos designed using these circles but i didn't understand how to use these circles for designing a logo but your tutorial made me to understand. It just perfect Sir. Thank you for Sharing. :)

Congratulations and thank you for your tutorial, excellent content and a clean and very professional video. The rhythm of your video is excellent, it contains the elemental elements and it is in good taste. A question, which program did you use to make the video, in particular to show your sound wave type voice? Thank you.

[@aftabjaved3726]

I am speechless, as i only have experience of illustrator 6 months, sir you have made me mind blown, now i am thinking how many years will i need to achieve this level,, well done

[@hikarigrox]

Thank you. This is the simplest and yet the most effective explanation on golden Ratio design I've ever seenl. Borrowed this helpful idea to create a resizeable chart of circles for composition purposes.

[@arealperson712]

هذه ليست النسبة الذهبية، بل هذه طريقة رسم لولب باستخدام أرقام فيبوناتشي

[@jayreambonanza1991]

I was trying this technique and learned using values to mathematically imitate this 1st square - 560 px 2nd square - 350 px 3rd square - 210 px 4th square - 140px 5th square - 70px Use these values for the circles and align them

[@almerbatti8586]

Thanks m8 !

[@summert.ibrahim7701]

Yo you're smart

[@Cobalf]

you can do it with any number as long as goes with the Fibonacci sequence (x=xn-1+xn-2) so, 3rd square= 140 + 70

[@seanperry1321]

These values don't adhere to the ratio though. The golden ratio is ~1.618, and 560/350 is not equal to that ratio.

[@DanteS-119]

@@seanperry1321 Yeah nothing truly adheres perfectly to the GR in real life either, it's mostly hokey

Nice video and great work. Not to be pedantic but this is a Fibonacci sequence which is not a golden ratio rectangle. But none the less great job!

[@_n3pu]

Yes. Correct ratio around 1.618. Of course, do not underestimate a beautiful tutorial. Congratulations.

[@DenissJershov]

Exactly! In Fibonacci sequence ratio between two selected squares is close to 1,618 but not exactly it. Can be smaller, can be bigger. In GR it is constant. But from point of view of building a fast grid in AI, indeed, is simplest way.

[@CesarDainezi]

Don't you think it would be a much easier process to get a bunch of circles in golden ration relation just to follow this algorithm: 1. Make the first circle with 100px in radius or diameter (doesn't matter which). 2. Make a second circle with 162px in radius or diameter, the same you chose for the first. 3. Put the first circle inside the second with center aligned. 4. Resize both circles until the larger circle is 100px in radius or diameter. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you have the amount of circles you wanna use.
