Cool 3d Logo
In this post I'll show you process of creating 3d logo for some 'company'.
3d logo
1. Draw some simple object, like this:
object
2. Select logo ( or whatever this is, but imagine it's a logo ),
and put some lighter color, like blue ( for easier rendering, or to see what's rendering ).
select logo
3. Then while selected, go to Effects >> 3d >> Extrude & Bevel
extrude & bevel
4. Click OK, and while object is selected ( logo ), go to Object >> Expand Appearance
5. Okay, we expanded it now, but it's still in one group, so we have to ( while selected -.- ) go to Object >> Ungroup
Or you can select object and press Shift + Ctrl + G few times, that will ungroup it also.
6. Next step, it's ungrouped and we can select any parts of it.
7. Lets create some gradient, like this:
logo gradient
8. Apply gradient to every section, surface, bevel etc
more gradient
9. And final looks like this:
3d logo final
Thats it!
