  Logo Design Habits or Tips (Read Example)

  Posted by Myles Eggert on December 11, 2020 at 4:38 pm

  Hey guys!

  I just finished designing a logo for my business. I’m torn on three versions but I wanted to know if the /way/ I designed it was the correct way to design it, or if there are better or efficient ways to go about it in the future.

  So, this is a diamond logo but for designs sake, I designed it as a square and I’m sure this is pretty common practice.
  I designed this out on a notebook with a square grid and so I know that the logo lines are supposed to be the same width as the empty space as well.

  I used the pen tool to create the lines and made the “shape” transparent fill but the outline a certain pixel width. Now for the hard part, figuring out the distance between everything so it matches up to the grid pattern I designed it around perfectly.

  I searched up a method, it suggested the measure tool. I got to work and measured the width of the “shape” and saw that the “D:” field was 12.7. So, I went about using guides to rule out every 12.7 “D” (which i’m assuming stands for distance). Once I had enough guides, the rest of the logo wasn’t too hard to fill in, but the overall process felt tedious and I wondered the entire time if this was a long, round-about way of doing this when something else exists to make life easier.

  Anyone able to give me tips as to how /you/ would have designed out this logo (the method itself, not the concept).
