Exploring Modern Logo Design

Hey guys, what’s going on? It’s me Will Patterson again with another video tutorial all about creating modern logo designs. Today, I’m doing it a bit differently because I want to create a modern logo that has my name in it, essentially a logo for myself. However, the principles and techniques I’ll be sharing can easily be applied to creating your own amazing modern logos.

Choosing the Right Typeface

As a hand lettering artist who loves vintage typography, I start my logo design process by exploring serif typefaces. However, I don’t want my logo to appear outdated, so I aim to add a modern element to the design.

Crafting a Modern Serif Logo

First, I create some guides and a base rectangle to begin crafting the logo. I decide to modify the ‘W’ in my name to give it a modern, abstract look. By adjusting the anchor points and removing serifs, I aim to create a bold and modern ‘W’ that still retains a touch of vintage typography influence.

Turning Negative Space into Positive Design

To further enhance the modern feel of the logo, I experiment with using negative space to give the illusion of serifs on the letter ‘W’. By incorporating polygon shapes and cleverly positioning lines, I manage to create a dynamic and modern ‘W’ design.

Fine-Tuning for Versatile Usage

As a logo designer, it’s essential to consider how the logo will be used across various platforms and mediums. For my personal logo, I pay attention to scaling, alignment, and overall optical balance to ensure it looks great irrespective of its size or application.
