Create Simple Line Letter Logos with Illustrator

In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can create simple line-style letter logos using Adobe Illustrator.
The font that I used is Montserrat Black. It can be downloaded here: www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/mo...
If you want to learn more about logo design, be sure to check out my Logo Design Academy - an interactive 18-part video course where you will learn my entire creative process for coming up with logo ideas and implementing them: logosbynick.com/learn/

His Academy really worth the money and to be honest is cheap for the knowledge he provides . I do really recommend it because I learned with him in just one week what my college professors didn’t teach me in one semester.

Lovely tutorial! I've been using AI for 5 or so years and never knew you could average 2 points ! I always did the painful method of making a new middle anchor point and deleting the side ones However a few things, you could have used transform to make multiple cop8es and jus expanded the shapes, I find that easier as you can also change the space between the lines Also there is a rounded corners options in illustrator. I think that could simplified the task of making the round corners all at once instead of doing It one by one
