Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 629 Drawing a kern-perfect logo in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deeke McClellan.…Welcome to Deeke's Techniques.…This week, I'm going to show you how…to create what I'm calling a kern perfect logo.…You know kern, K-E-R-N,…the way that neighboring letters fit together…with each other, well, we're going to…create a logo in which all the letters…fit naturally with their neighbors.…Now, by way of inspiration, I came across this,…which is a logo for a little band I don't know…the first thing about them,…I just know they have a cool logo.…And notice the V is forcing the I…to shift over a little bit to skew,…and then that's forcing the N to slant…and then the A is righting things,…it's kind of taking in the N…and then the L is leaning back against it.…
