Affinity tutorials are a new category that I’ve recently added to Logos By Nick, and there will be many more to come in the future! Make sure to opt in to browser notifications if you’d like to be notified when new tutorials are posted. That should do it for today’s Affinity Designer logo tutorial. You can use PSD mockup templates to apply your finished design to real world applications.Ĭheck out my tutorial for creating logo mockups if you’d like to do the same. Once exported, your new logo can be used however you’d like! You can even create photorealistic logo mockups with it. If you’d like to export your finished logo design in a variety of usable formats, be sure to check out my tutorial on batch export graphics from Affinity Designer. Make sure to save a copy of your work once you are finished. Once the elements of the design are in place, the final steps in our Affinity Designer logo tutorial are to use the offsets to create negative space throughout the design, then color it in however you’d like! Make sure that the deer (and its offset) are positioned beneath the banner, then use the Star tool to add a simple star to the bottom third of the polygon emblem. Once finished, you can now copy and paste the design into the document you were previously working on.Īs you can see in the image above, we’ll be creating yet another stroke that will function as an offset. Extracting an editable path from a SVG document with Affinity Designer can be tricky. If you’re going to be using the deer graphic linked above then you’ll have to open it in a separate panel so that you can separate the curves from the embedded document, otherwise you won’t be able to edit it as a vector object. This will help tie the entire logo design together and bring it to near completion. Now it’s time to add the subject into the design. The idea is to leave enough space up top so that the subject can be the primary focus of attention, and the bottom portion of the design can represent a secondary element, like subtext, a tagline for your logo, or in this case, a simple star. Make sure to position the banner so that it sits on the bottom third of the emblem. Now we can take the banner with the logo name and position it over the body emblem.

We’ll also be applying another stroke to create an offset, then another offset that will act as a border. To do this, we’ll be creating a polygon and transforming it so that angles of the points are reduced. Now that the text is completed we’ll move on to the body of the design, which will also represent the backdrop that sits behind the banner and the subject (deer.) We’ll be using strokes to create the offset that will be used to represent the negative space between the body of the banner and the tails. Next we’ll be duplicating the black rectangle and transforming it to form the tail ends of the banner.

This rectangle will represent the main part of the banner.

(Not trying to plug my sites… please feel free to delete the urls from the comment if you want.The first thing we’ll be doing is creating some white text over a black rectangle. Those little control points are tricky to grab. The hardest part was not wanting to make 50 different ones! Although, it’s probably good PS practice, especially using the controls to stretch and curve out the strokes of various letters. Might just use it on my Twitter header also. That way, it’s ‘branding’ across more than one platform. If you’re interested in seeing it: I removed the word photography and changed my name to a cobalt blue color to use on my blog. I’d attach the logo, because I’m so pleased. One of the easiest and complete courses I’ve come across.

I am also a blogger (starting a new blog), and made three: one black, one white, and one without the word ‘photography’ to use on my blog, so both sites carried the similar logo. And, in one evening, I have myself a signature. Some of them think you have more Photoshop experience (I don’t, I work in Lightroom mostly, though have started learning PS).Īnyway, after watching the quick video you did about signatures, I went searching for a font I liked. I’ve watched some YouTube vids, but I’ve not found on as simple and complete as yours. Thanks for this! I’ve been wanting to do a watermark/signature/logo for some time.
