I'm trying to figure out how this logo was constructed but I can't make sense of the highlighted (in pink) circles... Can anyone tell me how that was made? I'm looking for an Adobe Illustrator solution, please!!
Notice that, in fact, what I really want to know is how to align the shapes in the manner of the image shown (left side). I think this could be a particular approach in Design because I've seen it in other logos and icons, but my concern here is with the technical aspect of alignment in Adobe Illustrator.
Answer
Something like this.
draw line from opposite small circle to line large circle intersection.
Rotate copy of that line vertical
Make a support snapping line horizontal to the rotated lines end
draw circle form construction line crossing to support line
mirror, cleanup
Alternate construction strategy.
- Enable grid
- draw a 3 units wide/high circle
- draw a 1 unit wide/high circle
- draw a 2 unit wide circle
move the circles so the t the 3/1 unit circles share center and center of 2 unit circle is on edge of 1 unit circle
Image 2: Circle construction
Rotate entire thing 45 degrees (this helps you optimize point count)
- duplicate a 45 degree turn copy of 2 unit circle.
