How To Create a Vector eSports Logo Design in Illustrator

In today's Adobe Illustrator tutorial I'm going to take you through the process of creating a bold eSports style logo with a mascot graphic, from the initial sketch right through to the final vector logo art. eSports logos are a continuation of the style of American football, baseball and hockey team branding that incorporate mascot illustration with strong type and vibrant colours.
The artwork I'll be creating in this guide is for a fictional team named Rhinos, featuring a stylised illustration of a mean looking rhino character.
I'll show you how to produce the initial sketch in Photoshop, then we'll transfer the concept over to Illustrator to develop the logo into vector graphics.

Boys i did the math of logopacket speed! it clearly said it would be 10x faster! and it would only take a couple of seconds. (lets say 3). that means normaly it would be 30 seconds of work!
You can save 27 seconds!!!!

Hi, Cris. You are really professional, this is a very good tut but I think is a destructive way.
How do you explain customer for example in this design to change the font or color?
Dou you have some advice on how to reduce number layers in complex design?
Thank you.
