Tutorial Overview:
A successful logo design need to be professional and performance. It could be the first piece of branding someone sees relating to the company, so it should make a positive impression. So I will share my experiences in techniques and Design logo behind the scenes. I walked through the big decisions, such as what information to include, what sizeand orientation should be, and how to use the corporate identity, TV production, web publishing. show me how to create templates and work with the type alignment and color. Also discusses animation techniques and file preparation for printing, television production, Web Publishing. How to combine and fill the gap between 6 software is my purpose in this tutorial. I will use Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk Maya, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe After Effects, Adobe Flash and AdobeDreamweaver.

01: Intro Objectives
In the first stage we have to look at our goals before we start working to find out who exactly we should do. We will prepare our logo to be ready for print, TV production and Web Publishing. As a beginner in designing I always ask myself what the best technique for designing an object or a particular logo. It is clear that yourmay apply different methods to create the same logo, but the output quality can vary according to the technique you use.

02: 1 of Phase sketching ideas
Then the process of spinning your idea started. It does not matter if the sketch looks the same tone, you are just throwing ideas down to a white blank page now. I use this tablet. Just try to find ideas and concepts using the remainder. What I mean is that there is balance our logo must be physically in our weightdesign. Just imagine if you create a logo in real life in the mud or wood and try to put it on a flat surface should be stable weight. When I put some ideas down on paper you can scan them in and dive into the image editor of your choice if you want. I use Adobe Photoshop for this one. The method I use to create logos can be very different from others so come in whatever way feels comfortable. The end result is a series of reduced resources that the OSusing a different view.
03: Modeling, texturing, Lighting, Rendering and Detail Design.
Modeling
For non-organic materials such crooked subject of this tutorial is wise to use a polygonal model unless you care about quality. Polygon modeling always fascinated me, especially on the accuracy of the model provides for the manufacture of industrial and flexibility. The good thing about Autodesk Maya is that it provides a powerful system and multi-NURBS NURBS with optionalpolygon conversion dialogue, through which we can change our detailed NURBS model into a polygonal object with the desired number of faces.
The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a practical guide for beginners mold Polygon, where he can perform the basic techniques to design a rather complex problem. Of course, this tutorial does not cover all the Polygon command but most of them.
Now observe and ponder over the picture sketched for a while, trying to imagine thein front, front view, the key point in making a logo.
First we will start with a set of primitives for different parts of the logo. I make a ball (sphere polygon) then 4 cubes lol. To create a cube in Maya lol it was just easy. Create a cube and then go to the panel and use the toll deformers play. Created after a cube lol 1, duplicate 3 times at 90 degrees. Then put them together to fit the world.
That is my idea of ??representation. I have a point in the logo so that I canmeans the ball is the words and 4 red cubes lol how mush it is safe.
The next step is to create a sub-division of the mental ray approximation editor panel. I want to make the division as a point of 2000 N to make sure I give smoothed mesh well and also any time I can go back and make changes to the low poly mode.
Texture
Phase texture is the most important. Any person who has worked previously in the 3D texture know that each has texturegains and losses. We can see that the shading Lambert absorb light. We also know about phonge shadow that reflects the light of angels and have different characteristics Blinn is not shady.
So I created a logo 3 times in 1 shade Blinn, Phong 2 mia_material and nuance. With this method, we mentioned that we have a logo in 3 different quality so that we can use the 3 together in the next steps.
Lighting and Rendering
Let's talk about the lights. I use this scene 9lamp. Our goal at the lights is to use a minimal number of places and points of light to create all sources of direct and indirect light for the logo. They were the eighth spot lights and 1 point light. Spot lamp 8 has a very small intensity. Also I use a white light color. In this procedure, we use Global Illumination and Final Gather.
Final step in lighting and rendering is to provide a logo for the 3 different images in each image with a different color.
04: Put the logo Layout
Let's goAdobe Photoshop and open the three images that we exported from Maya. Actually I want to export the image as a. TIF images. Acquisition of 3 images and put them together in Adobe Photoshop blind together. I use an overlay to blind mode. Then finish with the company name and description.
I also simulate a shadow in the back of the logo. Its give me look good.
At this stage if u want to represent the logos u have a client or your boss. That's fair enough.
05: shows the phase
ForI present this first tutorial of people who ask me … The hay u made it right now but u think it is ready to print on a large scale as a billboard? ..
Really it is a big question because we definitely need a logo prepared in everything from print to web production TV production as we agreed in statge1. So I will begin now to give u my strategy for how to export our logo as a vector (scalable) forms. We go back to Maya and use the model and exporting variousIllustrator type. I'm using this vector makes Maya and I use some options such as
Tolerance curves and level of detail to end up with various versions of logos. A dark color, bright colors, and wire frames, etc … vector of all that we can export it as an AI file and import into adobe illustrator. Soon u will find that our logo is now ready to use them safely if the printing elements we need to print to a print element of a higher or large billboards.
We have completed phase 1 ofCreate a 3D logo ready for print production.
06: 2 animation stage
Okay … Let us turn. We go back to Maya and begin to turn on our logo. I started to prepare my timeline to 72 frames. This will give me 3 seconds (24X3 = 72). Move the ball and then shrink to shrink out to stop him. Then about 4 cubes lol I animate with 360 digress reversed. So it will give me a very nice effect. So what we have today is shrinking the world and played four cubes. I think it looks good to me now.To be sure I would go to timeline and frame to play fast, slow, reverse, etc. .. See if any strange or looks out the scene.
So we now we have 72 frames to make it. PNG image sequence. And we look to the animation when it is finished rendering.
07: animation composition and finish the export HD
So now we end 72 PNG image sequence. If u think about the composition of our plan is to think about Adobe After Effects. You can import images directly into Adobe after 72Effect but in this tutorial I change this order into a MOV file with quick time. So I open the quick time and then open the image sequence and save it as a MOV file.
So let's import MOV files to Adobe after effects and composition began. First effect I've been using auto-level effects. It just makes the logo looks fine and has the appearance of depth. I also just check out some other effects such as rippling and rippling mental and finally my 3D animation. I made a radial gradientbackground to give me look good when you turn the logo. I'm very happy for what I end up until now
Let us create MOV files from Adobe after Effects, and finally fine now and ready composite logo for TV production.
09: 3 stage Web Production
After that we let our composite MOV files we think about web animation. Adobe Flash is actually a solution. First I prepare my stage in Adobe Flash 640×480 as we have given our files and also prepare my timeline and frame rate 24 fps. Now weready to import our animation file. MOV files but has great size and we should not use it for the web. That will take a lot of time in loading. So I am thinking about converting files to FLV files using Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder. Start encoding and we now have a small FLV file. So import the FLV file and examine it in Adobe Flash. When everything looks fine and the size of a small problem is only a frame loop. So I add a script action to stop the animation behavior whencarried out (played for 1 hour). So our file is now ready for issuance of the Adobe Flash we will end up in the HTML file contained in the Flash SWF file.
10: Final Design, animation in HTML pages.
The final step in our entire tutorial is to open the HTML to Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash object center (SWF files) and can easily type secure website with a red welcome and is now ready for Web Production.
