Description
I was designing a logo for a business recently, and it went through alot (70 versions) of changes. It seemed a great shame just to put them in a folder to rot, so I thought of incorporating a tutorial with some of them. This tutorial is about symbols used in logo design.

Enjoy

p.s: Two of my designs were eventually used for two sections of the business.

The designs were created, in vectors, with Adobe Illustrator.
The tutorial was put together in Photoshop.

Hi OzJob, and thanks! It felt like it was going on forever.
I got paid for some of them through LOGOTOURNAMENT.com.
It was fun to experiment with Ai on something v illustrative.

How are you and your family doing? Your wee ninja will be big
now, I bet. Did you hear that Craig and Lucy Passmore have a
wee baby boy? Hairy little Hamish.

Sakura is one tomorrow and yes I have heard Craig and Lucy's news but haven't met the little man yet. All is well in Adelaide and I go back to work part time in May. Love hanging with the baby but really need to get back into it.
Hope all is well with you, bet you are looking forward to the warmer weather.

Cheers, mate. Imagine each of those designs with 30-odd vector layers at least.

I quake in terror....how long does it take to make one? And is it really worth it??

muzski In reply to krigl [2010-03-01 16:52:44 +0000 UTC]

For me it varies. If I have used a particular style before, it could take minutes. If not, I could spend several hours tweaking till it is just right. It is a learning process for me, so it is worth it. If it is chosen it is a bonus.

Alright! Learning is always good, things would get boring very fast otherwise...
