Raw Logo Design in Illustrator CS4

Check it out as I design a logo from scratch for a real client.

March 15, 2009 by Gary Simon

This is a quick tutorial that shows me designing a logo for one of my clients.  The good thing about this tutorial was I didn’t pre-design the logo before hand, and I didn’t even read the details of the clients request before I started recording the tutorial.

I’m a little monotone in the tutorial because I had just finished drinking a Wine-O-Rita (good shit), but other than that everything goes well. ;)
