Number two: Your work should always be 100% custom made. You should never use stock clip art or vector work created by another designer for your logos. As I mentioned before, this is a process and you should not take the easy way out by using work that is not your own. And, trust me when I tell you, you will be learning something new every time you sit down and create a logo. So, roll up those sleeves and get ready for the heavy lifting.

Number three: You should never create a logo mark that is intended for print in Adobe Photoshop. Doing so will make your work resolution dependent. All of your logo designs should be vector artwork and, therefore, not resolution dependent. I cannot tell you how many times I have worked with clients in the past who have sent me a 72dpi image of their logo to be placed in a document for print and I would have to recreate their logo in a vector format. You can still provide your clients with screen versions of their logo from Adobe Illustrator. But, it is crucial that you provide them with a fully vectored version of their logo as well.

The Tutorial

I am going to walk you through the steps of creating a logo, with a custom silhouette logo mark, for a fictitious steak house restaurant named “Lone Star Steaks”. I have already sketched out a few concepts and am settling on the one you see below. As you can tell, it is a pretty crude rendering. But this is only intended to give me points of references for the idea.
