the progress..

As u can see from my re-design logo,the rounded thingy is a coffee cup,3 cups and saucers,viewed from
above and under/behind it is a banana leaf.
ill first show you the steps/progress before explaining the colors and shapes.

This is the outline i've drawn using the pen tool which iv traced from my sketched logo.i cleared out the overlapped lines of the saucers using shape modes in pathfinder.Took me awhile to do that at first-.-' so actually turned out that was easy sooo,moving on to the next step..






Ok now iv colored my logo.a bit.iv changed the outline of the coffee cups and the leaf using different brushes from the 'brush libraries menu'.played around with it and there,i got my outline.i wanted it to look more natural-like rather than clean straight lines,and i added drop shadow effect for the cups,outer glow effect for the leaf and some steam effect for the coffee but using the brush tool.Colored the cups yellow and the leaf green and the coffee brown.why?later..k next..






Here it is,iv put some background which is green n red.I used ellipse tool to make the red and using border lines in brushes for the green.






Next,Starbucks coffee!yeayyeyeyyeyyaye!!!
ehem...k for the font i used regular copperplate gothic bold and colored blue.i used the arc style in warp options to make a curve above the logo for the STARBUCKS and none for the COFFEE,but then again i changed the style and color of the font and i added some green outline...(eh syapeq buzzed)...moving on~

Im just zooming in this part to show the change i made and added outer glow effect to the text.






Here i used graphic styles for the circle to add depth.Its not neatly refined yet but just to show you.see there?shadow~shadow~(nidji's song)hehe.
