Overview of Logo Design With Adobe Illustrator

This training course in logo design using Adobe Illustrator covers every step of creating a professional logo. It begins with research to identify industry trends and understand the target audience. The course moves on to key components such as clarifying the brief with clients to define the audience, competitors, longevity and applications of the logo. Participants then develop sketch concepts on paper and refine them based on feedback. Using Adobe Illustrator, students then learn to construct logos with tools such as the Shape Builder and the Pen Tool. They export their designs in various formats suitable for both print and digital applications. The course concludes by saving colour variations and adding assets to Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries for seamless collaboration, followed by a Q&A session to address any remaining questions.

Course Outline for the Logo Design With Adobe Illustrator Training Course

Research

Identify current design trends within your industry to find any gaps or relevant styles
Define the target audience - this helps understand their age, interests, demographics, preferences, etc
Collate competitors' logos to assess how your design will be able to stand out (and avoid any unintended plagiarism)
Explore brands outside your industry for fresh ideas - how do they use typography, spacing, colour, minimalism, etc?

The Brief

Based on research and before proceeding, agree with your client or manager:
Who is the audience?
Who are the key competitors?
What is the required longevity of the logo?
What will be the required applications (from billboards to app icons or web favicons)?
What emotions or ideas should the logo evoke?
Does the logo have to fit any existing brand guidelines?
Will the logo need to evolve into a broader brand system, such as a logo family or sub- brand variations?
What is your budget or allowed time?

Sketch Concepts

Drawing skills make little difference!
Drawing 3-4 (or more) ideas on paper allows for focus on the concept rather than the rendition.
Share concepts with your client/manger or colleagues to get feedback on best option

Concept Development

Redraw preferred concept(s) if development is needed
Source image and/or typographic references as required

Logo Drawing Techniques

Using approved sketch option start drawing outline logo on layered Illustrator artboard
Use shape tools, shape builder, pen tool, image trace, etc to construct elements
Add colours, gradients and effects as required

Finished Artwork

Convert final logo into different colour formats (CMYK, RGB, black and white)
Export for print and digital applications (.AI, .PDF, .SVG, .JPG, .PNG etc)
Adding logo in different formats to CC Libraries for use in Photoshop and InDesign or sharing with colleagues
