RGB Everything Trend or Overrated. There aren’t many illustrator tutorials on the internet, but today I’m offering you one that will help you build a logo in the most web2.0 way possible. I’ll also tell you the rules you need to follow to keep on track. You know how much I appreciate the new trend in logo design, which is to produce a logo that is as boring and hard to recognize as possible? So, to keep you from missing the web2.0 train or being absolutely helpless when 2.0 bosses throw 2.0 contracts in your face, I aim to teach you how to make one before the invasion.
Like all family arts, web2.0 logo design has its own basic 2.0 rules that you can’t afford to ignore: But these aren’t the only rules. Here’s another one that might be more debatable: According to the true purist of web2.0 logos, who writes on forums and discount websites, you can only make a good web2.0 logo with Photoshop. Using any other software to make your logo is a sin. Some people who don’t like fun should explain. A professional says this because he loves getting Photoshop in a lucky bag and doesn’t know the difference between Word and Illustrator, two programs he’s never opened and doesn’t know how to use because there aren’t many Aqua tutorials on these kinds of products.
Step 1
A nice web2.0 logo can’t exist, though, if you don’t pay enough attention to its background. We don’t have to think about white backgrounds anymore. The logo won’t show up on white backdrops from last year. No matter what, everyone will see a logo on a white background. Everything works for the backdrop, but just to be safe, there are some formulas that always work. For example, the diagonal2.0 stripes, the anthracite2.0/black gradient, or the radial (tone-on-tone) gradient made using the logo’s base color. The whole logo is mirrored, and it seems quite authentic. You can mix it all together to make sure you get it right. You did it! Your logo is done!
and paint this shape in the beautiful, shiny colors of petrol blue, bright orange, and anise green. After we pick a shape, we will apply a lot of effects. This is the first step toward achievement. Your logo won’t work and won’t be very web2.0 if not. I call the aqua or jelly effect the Holy Grail 2.0 logos of web 2.0. The purpose of the operation is to make this effect happen. A web2.0 logo that doesn’t have the aqua effect is as useless as a t-shirt website that doesn’t have a fake contest. The illustrator’s pixelated effects shouldn’t bother you; the most important thing is that it’s aqua!
Step 2
These are some awful lies, but it’s okay for a professional to utilize Photoshop. In any event, it looks good at 300 dpi. That’s what I said. I want to make it clear that using Illustrator to build a logo is wrong (painful oO’), or at least I apologize, but I would still use this application to make my instructional. :SHAME: After that, it’s easy; we just have to follow the old people’s directions. Forget the brief completely. Our unique method lets us start thinking straight away, and there is a brief that can only inhibit our 2.0 creativity. 2.
It doesn’t matter what the client asks for, even if it’s something silly and unreasonable, like a raccoon on a video website (I’m just saying something like that ;-)), because nothing will come of it and we need to make things, not listen to his opinion. It’s time to go to work now that we’ve made our work plan and gotten rid of all our ideas. With some forms in between, we’re going to obtain a fashionable, all-purpose style. The circle is an excellent example, but you can also have more complicated forms, such a triangle with a rounded shape, or putting a letter into a simple shape, or even two shapes, like the pathfinder throw-up, the rectangle and square, or even two shapes.
Step 3
and paint this shape in the beautiful, shiny colors of petrol blue, bright orange, and anise green. After we pick a shape, we will apply a lot of effects. This is the first step toward achievement. Your logo won’t work and won’t be very web2.0 if not. I call the aqua or jelly effect the Holy Grail 2.0 logos of web 2.0. The purpose of the operation is to make this effect happen. A web2.0 logo that doesn’t have the aqua effect is as useless as a t-shirt website that doesn’t have a fake contest. The illustrator’s pixelated effects shouldn’t bother you; the most important thing is that it’s aqua!
To work on the feelings, just zoom in as much as you can, like 600%. This will make every ray of light, every dark shadow, and every suggestion of color change last longer, and we will make the most of it. Here is a short diagram that explains the process: We can now go through Dafont and choose a font that works for us as much of the work is done. Any of the top ten sans-serif fonts should work for a logo 2.0. Even if it says they can only be used for personal use, we can still make some tweaks and it’s fine. We shall now write the brand name in capital letters because they look better.
Step 4
After that, we need to come up with a smart strategy to split the brand name so that we may utilize two colors on each portion of the word. Of course, we then show the usual aqua effect. Make an educational break anyway, or your logo will look like it came from web1.0. Note: The effect of the focus/blur style on the text is also okay when it comes to the text. The content can help us understand how important the baseline is. A baseline is like a “.com” or a “beta” in that it may quickly make a logo look flat and is hard to miss. If the client doesn’t have anything to work with and your logo isn’t very good, just develop a baseline. This will help you and make everyone pleased. That’s it for the logo.
