  • Can anyone help ? Beveled logo

    Posted by John Thomson on 19 August 2016 at 13:16

    Hi,

    I hope someone can help out.
    A customer has asked me for a sign using something close to his original logo.
    The logo as you can see is beveled……I have tried following Illustrator tutorials on youtube but can’t get close.

    Can anyone help replicate ( does not have to be exact) this?
    I only need the HYPERTECH section

    Many thanks

    john

    If it were me, I’d send it to Unique Art Services, who’d vectorise the entire logo in a few hours, for about £10. :thumbsup:

    We don’t bother redrawing logo’s now, just ship it over to them and they send back .ai, .eps and jpg files usually of the logo.

    I’ve had a conversation with the owner this morning, so well worth mention the Signboard to them. :thumbsup:

    can you not just use a bevelled font to start with?

    I looked at beveled fonts but the logo has black/grey with highlights from a simulated light source which will be noticable on an 8×4 sign.

    I have sent it to Unique for a quote………..late on a Friday was not the best time to be sending it though.

    Hi John. Do you have the Alien Skin plug in for Photoshop? Might manage it in there.

    Ok my attempt this is using gradients on back of chisel font straight black on the chiselled section, transparent gradient over back as well. Personally i think it’s been done in PS or corel etc as the light point is multi positioned

    That’s a great job, looks almost identical to the original.
    Cheap as chips too
    Will keep them in mind for future work :claps:
