So it was the last class of 'basics of Illustration' from Mr Dan presented by Envato+ . The 3 hours course took me quite a long time to finish. But then I didn't want to hurry at all. I was doing logos, making my Fiverr, Upwork, Behance, dribble etc. Doing digital marketing as well.

Either way, I had approx 2 days to complete all the logos. There were two Themes. A, innovation. Keep the Original logo intact and change the slogan from "I got games" to "Gamers at Heart". The fonts colours and placement were a free choice, however, it had to be vector outlined and follow the 3 format rules.
