Hi Guys, I've just watched a very interesting You Tube video on Illustrator in creating a logo that I'm trying to replicate in CorelDRAW but I'm just unable to do so. I was wondering if someone possibly knows how I can achieve the same result from the video, if possible. Cheers all.

Hello Colorblast; It took Over 11 min. for that person to show you how he is drawing something for the second time. It is best ( I Think ) to learn all the tools in Corel so you will know what each tool can do. Then its not to hard to draw most anything you may want to. YouTube has all kinds of drawing aids for most drawing programs, so if you are going to use Corel, why not open some of the ones for Corel and learn how the people are using the tools there. And yes you can make the same type of drawing in most of the programs, but they maybe done a little differently. I have been using Corel for over 20 years, and I have not run into anything that I couldn't make if the client is Willing to pay for it. After you have gotten up to speed with X5 give X7 a try, you'll like it I'm sure.
My Thoughts, George
Which part could you not do? I did not watch the entire video, but there are only two graphic elements to the drawing—a square and a 90 degree segment of a circle. All you need to do is powerclip the two together, replicate, rotate, color, as necessary.
I'm with George on this one. An experienced Corel user can easily redraw that logo but it would take a video to show a beginner how. You just can't explain it in a paragraph or two.

More importantly, while the logo "looks nice", I think many of us here would say that it fails as a corporate brand. Why? There is no easy way to Fax... Embroider... Laser Etch.. that logo. Putting logos onto physical things like paper, clothing, glass etc... all need to be considered. The largest companies in the world have logos that are simple, clear & distinctive. All of these production scenarios have been considered.
What everyone above has said - the "logo" is two simple elements, recolored, repeated, and rearranged, in much the same way as quilt blocks are done.
The real problem is the tutorial itself. It shouldn't take 11+ minutes of tutorial to recreate, even in Illy. No wonder you're confused.
