IVCore
Logo
A personal project I worked on
for my new YouTube channel, IVCore using Illustrator.
Here's The Process:
A crucial step in creating a logo that many people miss is understanding what your goal for the brand is, and how you'll be incorporating that idea into the logo.
​
My goal for this channel is for not only people to enjoy the content I create, but to also learn from my tech ventures and have a relatable connection to me.
​
​
So, how did I come up with the final design?
​I knew that I wanted to relate my real name to the logo, being the IV "4th" in my family, it only made sense to make a name based off of quad-core CPUs, a invention that was revolutionary for it's time that featured a whole 4 cores for processing.
​
I wanted to have some of the spirit of the logos of some of my favorite tech channels, I wanted it to be inspired by Linus Tech Tips, Bringus Stuidos, and META PCs Which all have a logo that is simple, but easily recognizable and iconic:

Bringus Studios
META PCs
Executing The Idea:
Now that I have an idea of what I want for my logo, it was time to get to work.
​
I first created a design using just the IV, it looked great! Heavy on the past-tense though, thanks adobe. So I just recreated it as best as I could from memory, and it ended up looking exactly how I wanted it to look.
​
I then added some half circles to round-out the design. the ring around the circle kind of made it look like the V was splitting a eclipse, which me and others thought was pretty cool.
I was pretty happy with this first design and thought it was perfect.
​
All that was left was to create the background. A solid shade of grey felt right.

So Here's The Result!:
