How To Create a Trendy Folded Logo Design in Adobe Illustrator

[ad_1]
I received a great topic suggestion on Twitter recently from Furquan101, who asked if I could make a guide on creating a folded logo in the style of Android N or the new Medium branding. In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial I’ll show you how to create a design based on the letter M, but this folded style gives you plenty of options for producing various initials, or an abstract ribbon type icon. We’ll create the full colour primary logo graphic, then follow up with flat and mono versions that would be used in specific design scenarios.

    My gradient does not look like that. When changing the blend mode to soft light it makes all the colors much lighter, no gradient visible at all! Can't find a solution anywhere.

    Gradient doesn't work the way you explain it anymore

    Here are some tips when doing instructionals. Not too fast, don't say any size to start, give more info on standard size or a give a size for logos you would suggest. For newbies doing design, we need more basic direction. Otherwise, You rock!

    Fellow Chris! Wow! That technique about making the Gradient and changing the appearance to Soft Light is genius! It's saved me so much time when selecting gradient choices now! Far less drag and eye-dropping 🙂 Great video!
