Creating a corporate logo
CG Infinity is ideal for creating corporate logos, which you can use in
your video projects or for other purposes, such as presentations, CD-
ROMs, and Web pages. In this lesson, we will create a ‘head’ logo for a
fictional company called “Interface Designs.”
To create a corporate logo:
1.
Select the Shape tool and create a rectangular shape with a red fill
color and no line color or shadow.
2.
Switch to the Adjust tool and select the Add Node button on the
Attribute toolbar and click in the center of the left side path segment
as well as the center of the bottom path segment to place additional
nodes.
3.
Click the Remove Node button on the Attribute toolbar and click on
the bottom left corner node. The node is removed from the path and
the object changes shape.
4.
Click Edit: Duplicate to make a copy of the current object, giving it a
yellow fill color with no line color. Then switch to the Object tool and
drag the left side over to the right, flipping the object. (To get the same
width, enter its original value in the Width spin box.) When finished,
place both objects side by side.
5.
Add four more rectangular objects (for the cap, left eye, left nose, and
left mouth). Give each a yellow fill color (no line color) and then place
accordingly on the background object. (For the nose object, remove
the top right corner node to create the appropriate angle as in step 3.)
6.
Duplicate each of the objects (except the cap line) and drag them to the
other side of the face, changing their fill color to red. (For the nose
object, you will have to flip it as in step 4.)
7.
Create another rectangular object for the cap. Then switch to the
Object tool and click the Slant button on the Attribute toolbar to angle
the cap off to the side and then add text with a shadow to finish off the
project.
