Introduction

This is what we'll create in the final episode of this module, a geometric monogram BC assembled from circles and squares, a unique custom font for a logo. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Existing fonts are used by many people. For a unique logo, designers often build their own letters from geometric shapes. The key is consistent line thickness. Show the grid with control tick 1 and activate snap to grid.

Step 1: Grid Assist

We'll use 40 pixels as the thickness of the letter bars, so all parts are consistent.

Step 2: Letter B from the basic shape

Draw a vertical square 40 pixels thick as the bar for B, then two hollow circles attached to the right, small on top and large at the bottom. Holes are created with an inner circle and minus front. Select all parts of B, then with the Shape Builder tool, drag across the bar and the two curves to merge them.

Step 3: Clean up with Shape Builder

Alt-click the half-circle part that protrudes to the left of the bar to delete it.

Step 4: Letter C

Draw a ring from a large circle and an inner circle with exclude. Then cut the right side with a square and minus front, forming the letter C with the same thickness.

Step 5: Monogram

Move the letter C so it slightly overlaps with B. Give them different colors and adjust opacity or create a white gap at the meeting point so both are clearly visible. Hide the grid, give a dark background, then color B in gold and C in white.

Step 6: Color and Export

Save and export the monogram.

Done!

Done. We've used the grid tool. Assembling letters B and C from circles and squares using Shape Builder, minus front, and exclude, then arranging the monogram.
