    Really Nice Work jd132 love the bolt heads.
    Thought I'd give it a shot, but my brain as disjointed as it is, just can't seem to disjoint the "ED" still trying some different ideas but not working. Maybe some more input would help cjworkshop.

    thanks guys
    No not 6 months - 6 hours. Kinda got snowed in today - Atlanta GA has not seen measurable snow on Christmas day since the year 1860, we normally get dusting's.
    But I think this one captures the essence of the metal and bolts better, though I used some rivets to hold the "ED" in place. Darn thing just doesn't want to say put.

    Oh no no the Bot is not mine it belongs to cjworkshop, I just clipped a still from his video to see the colors and style. Then used it in the graphic for a visual.
    I think the right arm is part of a automated drill used to bolt, Bolt Bot together.
    So now you can do it in less than 6 months. lol

    One way - works good with Wacom tablet
    Make a rough sketch on paper scan it into your computer.
    Open it in your graphics program.
    Use your pen tool with different widths and strokes, etc to create different shapes.
    Join, intersect, slice or whatever to the shapes as needed.
    Use pre shapes (circles, squares, stars) push pull them into the shape you need.
    The usual shading, blurs and special effects.
    Make lots of little parts in groups, put them together to make one graphic.

    Thanks for that, never thought of doing the sketch for this, still learning the slice part, but I'll get there.

    Just a little more on parts - after all this is a Post for a Graphic Logo not a tutorial.
    Hope cjworkshop doesn't mind.

    Here are the parts to the my family portrait, very basic as you can see.
    Circles turned into eclipses and triangles.

    If you don't want to sketch and scan then find a pic you like, load it into your graphics program and do some tracing with the pen tool and try some basic shapes like the triangle for the beak and flippers like in the above graphic.
    Just remember it's all an illusion to the eye. That's how we fool the brain.

    Hey everyone, hope you all had a great christmas. I like this logo the most out of all of them. I think it follows of the style of the animation quite alot. I like the idea of the o's being bolts and the colors are spot on. I think there should be a little more detail on the bolts though. Maybe a hole to show the o more or just some other detail. I would love to use this one as the main title.

    Thanks to everyone else who made one. They were really good too.

    JD, the limage in the link below might be of help. For an 'indent' a simple inner bevel should do the trick.
    Oops, just read you're using AI, are there similar stylings available in that?

    BOLT HEAD
