- Create logo design in Illustrator;
- Open "Logo_ExportTemplate_RGB.ait" OR "Logo_ExportTemplate_CMYK.ait" and place all logo variants you need;
- In Illustrator, File > Scripts > Other script... > "ArtboardCleaner.jsx"
- Export logo variants into a empty folder (Ex. Digital: .JPG, .PNG, .AI, .EPS, .PDF, .SVG; Print: .AI, .EPS, .PDF);
- Execute "Logo_Sorting_RGB" OR "Logo_Sorting_CMYK".
⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ IF YOU EXPORT ASSETS FOR BOTH RGB & CMYK, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO MANUALLY MOVE THE ARTBOARDS FILE (NAMED "CompanyName.ai" for both RGB & CMYK) TO THE DESIRED FOLDER LOCATION.
FOR DETAILED STEPS PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDE BELOW:arrow_down::arrow_down::arrow_down:
-
Here's an example of a logo with Logomark, Wordmark and TagLine;
-
Open "Logo_ExportTemplate_RGB.ait" and place the logo in the correct artboard, then create variants; (empty artboards will be automatically deleted on the future steps);
-
In Illustrator, File > Scripts > Other script... > "ArtboardCleaner.jsx". This will crop artboards and delete empty ones.
-
On the export window, uncheck "Create subfolders", complete the brand name in the "Prefix:" field followed by an underscore (ex. "BrandName_"). "Suffix:" field represents logo optional settings and should start with an underscore followed by the setting name (ex. if we need a dedicated 1200px width for a cover placeholder, we can use optionals to export it: "_1200"). Export all artboards to an empty folder;
(ex. "BRANDNAME_HorizontalLogo_RGB_FullColor_1200.jpg") -
Place "Logo_Sorting_RGB.py" in the folder where you exported the artboards and run the .py file;
-
Repeat the process for CMYK; You can export the artboards in the same folder where you exported the RGB artboards.
- make UI
- make name convention for artboards: BRANDNAME_ARTBOARD & BRANDNAME_ARTBOARD_EDITABLE
