BonaGraphic logo using Illustrator


Hey guyz....
This is another logo post using illustrator (I just LOVE this software). As you can tell I changed the blog's lame logo with the ordinary font of "BonaGraphic" as soon as I learned to make this folded paper effect. You won't imagine how simple this effect is done. You just type the word you want, and then expand it. Then with the pencil tool you'll draw the lines where you want the folds to be and merge them all. After that reflect each of the folded area inwards.
What gives a white piece of paper the effect that it's folded? The gradient of the folded part. Just give them a gradient from a light grey to white. And then give a light shadow behind them to give some depth.
You're free to give a background color with a radial gradient to give a little bit of contrast.
That's it! Hope you like the blog's new logo :)
