- [Rik] So now that I've got my logomark, I also want to add some logotype as part of this as well. So I'm gonna do this on a separate frame. So I've got my logomark here. Next to it, I'm gonna make a new frame. So click here, and make it next to it. Something that looks a little bit like this. There we go. Again, I'm jut gonna make this frame have a name, Logotype. So in here it's gonna look kinda the same. I'm gonna use the same kinda typeface as what we have here.

The typeface I'm using is Josefin Sans. So in here, I'm just gonna quickly type in Aria, oops gotta spell the name correctly, Oslo, and again what I can do is fill this in a certain color. Give it a certain size, maybe I wanna make this a little bit bigger. So, here the first thing I'm gonna do is fill it in. Well, remember I've got a fill, which has a color. So I'm gonna use the blue, the mid blue color. And again, I'm just gonna make this a little bit bigger. Just to kinda fill this in.

00:54

How would it look next to that? Not too worried about how it looks next to this just yet. I kind of just wanna fill this in some space. Maybe I'm gonna make this a little bit wider. Here we go. And make it in the middle. Perfect. And now what I can do is play around with some of this type as well and maybe make it messed up as well. Maybe I wanna make it uppercase. So how would I make it, for instance, uppercase? Well, in here, I can just literally write is as uppercase.

01:20

I can also change some of this stuff using More Options. So for instance I might wanna make it all uppercase like this. Change some of the space in between some of the letters so maybe make it a little bit tighter for instance. So again, I can just go in here, make it minus 10%, little bit too tight. Maybe minus five, a little bit nicer. Now one thing that I could do is really mess around with this type, and just right click and do a Outline Stroke.

01:49

And what this will do, is it will let me actually kinda play around with this. I can stretch it. I can add some more things to it. I can add some more shapes and give it a mask, but here what I've got is some kind of control over this. I can change some of the letters. You double click and I can actually change some of this completely if I (chuckles) really wanted to. But here what I've got is a basic logotype. In the next video, what we're gonna do is combine the two things together, and we'll talk about how we can make this really, really easy.
