In this video I retrace the steps of the development of my Southeastern Misic Gallery logo in the form of a logo design tutorial using Adobe Illustrator CS5.

This video has been intentionally prepared in 1080p so be sure to go FULL SCREEN to see all tools and mouse actions! :-)

Please fire any questions you might have. All feedback is appreciated. More interests will spark further videos.

* A correction: The font identified as "Liberation Sans" (which it was supposed to be) for the type "music gallery" was actually shown as a Myriad default. The final, correct product is shown upon the black background at the end of the video.
