Comedy Central Logo

[ASC]

Hey guys,

This may be very simple but I can't get my head around it. How to create the comedy central logo, I know it's just two C's but when I try it in photoshop I can't keep the width of both the C's the same. For example I'll create the outter C then when I put the inner (smaller) C in by change font size the width of it adjusts to the font size...

How can I get them both to be the same width like this:




Thanks in advance!

If you experiment with the shape building tools, you can achieve that quite easily. It's a case of drawing the circles, & using the different options to remove the centre, & the section of the loop. You will be left with the C shown above. The smaller one is exactly the same. Don't just reduce the size of the large one, use the same procedure. That way you can set the width of the C.

Exactly as SPWA says...........

You use your Shape tools to build this logo and not just type/font.

I set up guide lines in the center of my canvas. I then used my Ellipse tool to create a circle dead center by holding the Shift + Option keys.

I set my Path operations to Subtract front shape, and then created the inside circle using the same centering method I mentioned above.



With a few more guide lines, I used the Pen tool to remove the section from the circle.



I then reversed the image by going to EDIT > TRANSFORM PATH > FLIP HORIZONTAL



I then created the inner C using the same technique I explained above.
