The type around the circle may be the main event,
Now, I want to draw my ellipse
To draw from a center point,
to constrain it to a perfect circle.
I'm going to hold Option or Alt and click right there,
Now I will come and tear off my Type tools.
I'll come and click at the 6 o'clock point on the circle.
And when I make it center,
to the 12 o'clock point.
or the first part of my text.
And color it green.
the bottom of the circle as well,
I can do that by holding Option or Alt
Come to the Type menu,
and I'm going to align it to the Ascender.
Now, I also need to move the type up
closer to the circle,
and I'll do that with baseline shift,
which is on the Character panel.
If you don't see it,
come and choose Show Options.
I'll now select the type
and type in the new text over it,
and change that from Black to Bold.
We need two more circles,
Made in U.S.A and On An Island.
So back to the ellipse tool.
Centered on that same point.
And note I have my Smart Guides turned on;
that's why I'm getting that feedback.
Draw myself another circle.
I'm holding down Option or Alt and the Shift key.
Doesn't matter what fill and stroke it has,
because they will disappear
when we add type to the path.
Select the type, we're going to make this red,
12 points.
This type has
unwantedly inherited that baseline shift,
so I'm going to set that back to zero.
One more circle.
Okay, now we need
to add in two more circles
for the red outline.
I've drawn that and it's come out
with a red fill, no stroke.
I actually want to switch those properties,
so I'll press Shift+X.
Change the stroke weight to two points.
And rather than draw another circle,
'cause I'm getting rather bored with drawing circles,
I'm going to double click on the Scale tool
and duplicate the one that I currently have.
I'm going to estimate that this will be
at a size of 75%,
and I was off, but I can just click into that field
and tap my down arrow
to get that to the right size, 65%.
I want to keep the stroke weight the same,
so I have this not selected.
I'll click Copy.
Now we'll come and add a rectangle
around the whole thing.
This is going to start out as a square
drawn from the same center point.
Holding down Option or Alt and Shift.
Needs to be just slightly bigger than the circle.
Double click on the Rotate tool,
and we're going to rotate this through 45 degrees.
All that remains is to add the additional type;
I have that already prepared over here
on the paste board.
I should mention that this ornament
is from the Chaparral Pro front,
and I'll just select that,
come to the Type menu and to Glyphs.
We can see that we can filter
characters to see just the ornaments,
if available in a font set,
and I chose this one from Chaparral Pro.
So I'm going to select all of this type,
drag it over into position.
And the last thing that we need to do
is make sure that the type
is not being overlapped
by the red outline of the circle.
I need to bring all of this to the front,
so I'll come to the Object menu, Arrange,
Bring to Front,
and then choose my rectangle tool,
and draw myself
a rectangle.
And I was slightly off with that,
so I'm just going to press E
to access my free transform,
increase the size of that,
change its color to white,
right click Arrange, Send Backward.
And I may need to do that
a few times,
until it gets to just the right place
in the stacking order.
So there we have our finished logo,
which, in fact, uses four different pieces
of type on a circular path.
