Today I am going to show you how I made a logo for myself. Alhamdulillah.
Reading about this kind of work might be boring. In that case, you can watch it on YouTube. You can find to the video at the end of this article, inshaAllah.
I decided to create a logo for myself. As I love coding, I thought I would try to give it a code feeling.
After opening Adobe Illustrator with its default canvas, I converted it to a one-by-one canvas.
Double-clicked the hand tool to zoom in the canvas to fit it to the window.
Select the type tool and click on the canvas.
Type less than, forward slash, and a greater than symbol. “</>”.
Drag on corners to increase the size of the symbols.
I first checked one of my favorite font “Roboto” with medium style.
Then I wanted to see if the font “Helvetica” looks good or not. So, I selected Helvetica with Oblique style and I like the Roboto with medium style.
Undo to bring brack the “Roboto” with medium weight style.
Right-click the symbol text and select “create outlines” option.
Right-click the symbols again and ungroup them.
Select all and click “Horizontal align center” from options bar.
Move around the symbols to get a unique feeling. Since I dont know what to do with the slash, I deleted it.
Draw a circle to use as a part of the logo.
Send it behind the symbols by pressing command and curly-bracket.
Fill the circle with a light-gray color and change symbols from full black to color code #272727.
Save it.
That is how I made my logo.
