Easy Quick Logo Tutorial

February 8th, 2010 In Designing, Tutorials, Web Designs by xsabrina.chic

Hello there ♥♥♥ How’s your lovely month? Doesn’t have a date for this coming heart’s day? Well, you can give your time for this post and love your designing passion :)

This is for those who want to learn on how to make a quick and easy logo design for their projects, freelancing and self logo for blogging. And also, this might help your freelancing activity especially to those who are new to freelancing.

I wanted to share the way I design a logo, yup, this is my specific way of designing a logo :smile: And I hope this is a big help for you to make your own creations.

Now, we are going to create a logo for Digdesignz. I want it to be simple, readable, good looking when black and white version and the most important is easy to remember by the audiences. I categorized this as a Website logo not a Food logo, Clothing logo or etc.

Quick Logo Tutorial
DigDesignz

Requirements:
* Adobe Photoshop (Any version can do. I am using CS3)
* Own Idea.

Step 1
(click the image to enlarge)
Step 1
Use the Horizontal Type Tool to make a text on your screen. Now, start typing the 1st word in logo. 		Step 2
(click the image to enlarge)
Step 2
Again, by using the Horizontal Type Tool, type the 2nd word of your logo but in other color. Make sure your chosen colors are compatible. 		Step 3

Step 3
This is optional. If you want to include your domain extension name, you can do it like this :) Perhaps it’s cool if you transformed it in counter clockwise. Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 Degrees CCW.
Step 4

Step 4
Now, we are going to remove the dot from letter ‘i’ without rasterizing the text. Select the layer of the text you want to remove a dot, and click the Add Layer Mask from the layers palette. And then, use the Eraser Tool (press E on keyboard) to remove the dot from your selected layer. 		Step 5

Step 5
Do the same thing on step 4 for the 2nd layer of your logo. 		Step 6
(click the image to enlarge)
Step 6
Using the Custom Shape Tool (press U on keyboard) with a shape of ‘Star’, locate it above of letter ‘i’. It’s your own choice of colors :arrow:

And that’s it :razz: Simple right? This is how I design a quick logo. Do you want to see my PSD file? Then you can download it here ;-)

Tips:
* Use 2-3 color combination.
* Think of a good font that may fit on it’s theme and name.
* Styled it like giving a drop shadow or just a slight gradient effect.
* Try to experiment on what is the best object to include on your text logo. Like what we did, star might be cute for my logo.
* Bevel emboss is not recommended. But if you designed a 3D style of logo, why not?

Note: This is just an example of logo making. This kind of steps can be use if you want to design a quick logo design from your projects.

Congratulations! You can now make your own logo design for your projects at school or even online :) I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and tips from me. Good luck!
