Right click again, Alignment and choose Align Middle. Right click and choose Alignment, and then Align Center. At the top of the screen click Xor as shown in the image below.Ĭlick on the Ellipse tool on the left side panel and draw out a circle. Click + drag a selection box around all of the petals. The Xor action will cut out overlapping parts and combine as one object. The Boolean Operations are at the top of the screen. Affinity Designer will equally space out the petals. ![]() The duplicate will be moved to a 22.5° angle. There will be 16 petals around a 360° angle. ![]() With the duplicate selected go to the Transform panel bottom right and next to R (Rotation) type in 360/16. If not visible on the bottom right, click View at the top, select Studio and then Transform. We will be using the Transform panel next. Shift and Click + drag the origin point to the top point of the shape. Adjust the size of the shape if needed.Ĭlick on Enable transform origin at the top. Draw out the shape as shown in the image below. On the left side panel click on the Shape Selection tool and select the Tear Tool. The Tear Tool will be used to create the flower petal. Step 1 - Create petals and use the Transform PanelĪffinity Designer has a great selection of shape tools. Adjust your page settings and click Create. Open Affinity Designer and click New Document. In this tutorial we are using a bold handwriting font called All Things New, but you can use any clean font available on Font Bundles. In our tutorial we will show you how to create a simple floral logo in Affinity Designer. You can create just about any design you can imagine. Logos can be created with simple shapes and the Boolean Operations. The first thing we’ll be doing is creating some white text over a black rectangle.Elements created in Affinity Designer are great for Floral Logos. This rectangle will represent the main part of the banner. Next we’ll be duplicating the black rectangle and transforming it to form the tail ends of the banner. Now that the text is completed we’ll move on to the body of the design, which will also represent the backdrop that sits behind the banner and the subject (deer.) We’ll be using strokes to create the offset that will be used to represent the negative space between the body of the banner and the tails. To do this, we’ll be creating a polygon and transforming it so that angles of the points are reduced. ![]() We’ll also be applying another stroke to create an offset, then another offset that will act as a border. ![]() Now we can take the banner with the logo name and position it over the body emblem. Make sure to position the banner so that it sits on the bottom third of the emblem. The idea is to leave enough space up top so that the subject can be the primary focus of attention, and the bottom portion of the design can represent a secondary element, like subtext, a tagline for your logo, or in this case, a simple star. Now it’s time to add the subject into the design. This will help tie the entire logo design together and bring it to near completion. If you’re going to be using the deer graphic linked above then you’ll have to open it in a separate panel so that you can separate the curves from the embedded document, otherwise you won’t be able to edit it as a vector object. Extracting an editable path from a SVG document with Affinity Designer can be tricky. Once finished, you can now copy and paste the design into the document you were previously working on.Īs you can see in the image above, we’ll be creating yet another stroke that will function as an offset. Once the elements of the design are in place, the final steps in our Affinity Designer logo tutorial are to use the offsets to create negative space throughout the design, then color it in however you’d like! Make sure that the deer (and its offset) are positioned beneath the banner, then use the Star tool to add a simple star to the bottom third of the polygon emblem. Make sure to save a copy of your work once you are finished. If you’d like to export your finished logo design in a variety of usable formats, be sure to check out my tutorial on batch export graphics from Affinity Designer. Once exported, your new logo can be used however you’d like! You can even create photorealistic logo mockups with it.
