Logo Contest Winner + Tutorial

Watch as I design the contest winner’s logo in Illustrator CS4. Har!

January 20, 2009 by Gary Simon

So our good buddy muheed baloch won the logo design contest I held earlier.  We didn’t quite make it to 100 comments, more like 32; but you’ll have that.  In this video tutorial you get to watch and listen to me (you lucky bastard) design the logo that muheed requested.

If you didn’t win, don’t fret.  I’m planning on doing these contests on a regular basis.  Get in on them early while the pickins good!

Great video. How do you get your taskbar in Vista to look like that?

It’s not vista, it’s the new windows 7 beta.

Nice tutorial, i ‘unintentionally’ stumbled to your website; i was actually looking for porn “Ass Ban7*& #5″ some bomb ass girls - enough reverie! Am definitely going to suscribe to your RSS feed. Thats a tight rss icon, i’ve seen that ’sticker’ on cars…

Roland, thanks, and no you haven’t ;) I designed that rss icon from scratch when I designed this site. Might be one similar I don’t know about though heh.

Whooah… It is amazing what you’ve done. Really cool, you know a lot about Illustrator. I need to get CS4 but it’s too expensive haha. Where did you learn? Just internet?

Congratulations…

Anyway, I cannot believe people like avangelist exists. Best regards for you Gary.
