asked me to make her a logo for her contest, the 
singing contest with 
leading the Steemit Achievers Radio. I am also the one who made this logo for their radio contest. 
Now, I'm gonna show my process on making this simple logo. First, you should pick any editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, inDesign, Corel Draw, or etc as long you can make shapes. For this I used Illustrator because I like the colors and it's not pixelated when you zoom in the image. She also requested for a light colors so that the microphone will stand out. I made this while in class so it's really rushed and I finished this first draft around 4 to 5 hours.
So, lets start with the process.
I. Tracing
- Same method that I'm using for my artworks, the Pen Tool. The Pen Tool creates vector paths that can be converted into selections that in turn can be used to extract or mask groups of pixels.
- It's completely fine if you don't copy the whole image. Again, just go with the flow first and just be sure that your lines is smooth.
- Don't get confused with the colors of my lines. I changed it time to time because sometimes I get cross-eyed.
II. Coloring
- Recently, I really found this amusing when it comes to the coloring stage. I go to this website http://paletton.com to pick what color that I want to use. It also helps your base color what to use on your lighter and darker part. Try to this out and share it here what are your experiences using this website.
- On the paletton.com, you can double click the color to get the Color Hex Number and use it on your set of colors.
- Remember, the proper shade of your color and just follow the color guide on paletton. Sometimes, I use one base color and 2 to 3 shading colors.
III. Finalizing Colors
- Since it's a logo design the process will be really short but do not worry. The simpler the logo the more artistic and creativity that will be shown.
- And for the request of Ate
Final Product
- A tip for logo designs, try to use shapes with your draft logos with a symmetrical concept. I think with less shapes, less colors, and lesser details can have more impact and attention with the viewers.
I want to thank ate Pau and for trusting me for the logo. To be honest this is my second time making a logo and I really have fun. Also, thank you guys for reading my blog. Please do share your suggestions on the comment section. Spread the love 🙂
