Logo Design Process and Walkthrough for Vivid Ways This post was originally published in 2009 The tips and techniques explained may be outdated. I recently finished up a project with Scott McIntyre of Vivid Ways and Jon Phillip of Spyre Studios. My part in the project was to work on a new logo design for the Vivid Ways website and brand. Vivid Ways is a new blog focusing on the topic of personal development and colourful living, it aims to inspire and encourage readers through ideas and tips on how to live an amazing life. I started work sketching out my ideas for the logo, my main focus for the graphic of the logo was to display the letters V and W in a creative way that could be seen as an abstract mark, but also recognisable as the letters under closer inspection. The logos graphic were then drawn up in Adobe Illustrator and experiments were conducted on the appropriate type styles. Colour wise, blue was an appropriate choice with it representing mind, body, confidence and intelligence in colour theory.

Create a Trendy Vintage Style Barber Logo in Illustrator Sometimes it’s fun to create a logo design for a fictional client. Just pick a design style and play around with a concept of your choice without the hassle of the client approval process. This also gives you the chance to experiment with styles and trends you’ve seen around but never had the opportunity to try yourself. In this tutorial we’re going to create a logo design for a classic barber shop using the popular vintage theme. Here’s the logo we’ll be constructing for “Virgil’s Classic Barber Shop”. We’ll begin by creating the small icon graphics. Select the two ellipses and hit the Subtract option from the Pathfinder palette to punch out the inner shape from the outer, leaving a solid ring. Continue tracing the rest of the scissor blade with the Pen tool. Remove the reference photograph then go to Object > Transform > Reflect. Draw a selection around the four individual objects then hit the Merge option from the Pathfinder palette to blend them all into one single shapes.

Not only will we be creating the actual design in Adobe Illustrator, but I’ll also be describing the whole logo design process in this tutorial, from the initial sketches right through to finishing off the final design. The logo we’re creating as part of this tutorial is a trendy “Cubist” style logo made up of lots of detailed elements to form an larger object. The design is based on a fictional brand or company named Raven, but the whole process is the same for a live client (just without the infinite cycle of changes and revisions!). It’s worth starting any logo design project with a sketch. Once you’re happy with your overall silhouette or profile open up Adobe Illustrator and draw your outline with the pen tool using simply clicks. The design we’re creating is based on the cubist style to spice up the design with some fancy effects.
