Badge-style (circular) logos are wildly versatile: they fit avatars, stamps, labels, favicons and merch—while letting you add a tagline or extra details in one tidy mark.

In this class, I’ll show you exactly how to design a professional badge logo in Adobe Illustrator, from blank artboard to polished mockups.

You’ll learn when a badge is the right choice, how to plan hierarchy, and how to curve type the right way (Type on Path vs Envelope Warp, spacing, baselines, optical corrections).

We’ll balance multiple elements—centerpiece icon/monogram, rings, separators, dates, and taglines—so nothing feels messy.

Then we’ll create a secondary lockup and submark for tight spaces and real-world flexibility (web header, stamp, letterhead).

Finally, I’ll show quick mockup techniques so your result looks premium in context.

This class is beginner-friendly but packed with workflow tips to speed you up—whether your style leans vintage or ultra modern. Follow along and finish with a client-ready badge logo and a repeatable system you can use on future projects.
