Mascot logo design for eSports: create unique and impactful emblems

“Now that we're at the end of the course, I hope you enjoyed the journey. I wanted to thank you for making it this far and for spending your time with me. It's time to share your creations and show the progress of your project. Comment on how you made it, talk about the challenges and difficulties you faced, and how you overcame them. In short, share your experience. I want your project to be different from mine. Repeat what I do to learn, but when it comes to publishing your project, create something unique. This enriches our creative community. Gather your images and share your project by clicking the "Create your project[/url] button. Your post will become part of your Domestika portfolio. Your portfolio is your showcase for the world to see and hear. Remember that explaining your project is crucial, not showing photos. Here are some links to help you organize it: [url=https://assets6.domestika.org/course-images/000/043/756/43756-big.png]Support link 1 Support link 2 These are my recommendations: 1 - First you must create a mood board, browse through different image banks and 3D banks, you can take screenshots or even check biology books, that way you can find unique photos to create your Mascot logo. Even if you decide to create an animal you have access to, with great care and respect you can take some really cool photos of it in different positions and with a spotlight nearby to create your mood board. 2 - It's time to let go of your wrist, grab a pencil and paper, an iPad or whatever you use to draw and start creating sketches, do simple things at first, just look for the stroke and little by little begin to familiarize yourself with the shapes and proportions of the animal, when you feel determined, emphasize the lines more and begin to apply lighting, imagining it on the right, or on the left, or even guiding yourself by the lighting you see in the photographs. Finally, finish with at least two sketches that you or your fictional client can identify with. The idea is to make it difficult for them to choose one because they are so great, and you, with your wisdom, choose the best for them! Remember, this is probably the most difficult and, therefore, frustrating part, so relax by putting on your favorite music, and in a quiet moment, get to work on your sketch! And don't worry, if it doesn't turn out right the first time, start again. The idea is to enjoy this process. 3 - We move on to Illustrator, now using an image, a scan or a digital file, we will position it on our work table, lower the opacity and begin to work and vectorize on it. Remember to correctly follow the layer order I gave you because these are essential for you to be able to work the color and the mascot logo correctly. They will also help you create the different syntheses you can create later. 4 - The typography is ultimately what will embody the team name, so we must treat it with the same care we gave to the sketch and vectorization. We'll look for fonts we own or ones we didn't download from the internet and edit them. We'll look for points of connection between the mascot logo and the team logo and adapt them, for example. If the logo has a tendency to lean to the right, we'll use that characteristic to modify certain parts of it. We can even add some classic effects from this type of typography or exterior elements. The position of the typography balances and supports our logo, many times it can contain a tag below such as “Esports” or “Gaming” which we do not need to modify, we can use clean typography, but we must add it intelligently. 5 - Color is the final step in our mascot logo and what will bring it to life. Use the color editing tool to find different attractive and vibrant combinations that both you and your client will like. The idea is that in this part, you'll show your client how the mascot logo would look with the color they chose and also show them some even better alternatives. Using a few colors is key. You can use medium, semi-transparent shades to create different tones of the same color, but you'll always look more synthesized and clean by using fewer colors. However, sometimes deciding between one or the other isn't something you should make, but rather the client's. The important thing is to always make it clear to your client if they've requested more colors—less is more! 6 - Finally, use all the hidden arts and tips you learned in this course to create an epic and on-trend presentation that will blow your client's mind when you show it to them and completely fall in love with their new brand! Get plenty of inspiration from Behance like mine and from other artists and graphic designers, who can help you understand what's working. The ultimate goal is to make your client feel like it was worth working with you, and to encourage them, get them excited about going even further, and feel ready to go all out! I invite you to participate in the forum and interact by commenting on the community's work. After all, we'll be helping each other, so take advantage of this opportunity! See you on the forum! ”
