How to Design a Fresh and Modern Logo in CorelDRAW (DietMart Example)
A logo is the face of any brand—it must be memorable, versatile, and reflective of the business values. The DietMart logo is a perfect example of how to combine creativity with simplicity. In this post, I’ll walk you through the process of creating a similar logo in CorelDRAW.
Step 1: Conceptualize the Logo
DietMart is all about health, freshness, and nutrition. To communicate this visually, the design uses:
-
Green tones for health, freshness, and organic feel.
-
Orange tones to represent energy, vitality, and fruit.
-
Leaf elements to reinforce the natural theme.
Before opening CorelDRAW, sketch a rough idea to decide on the text placement, leaf shapes, and curves.
Step 2: Setting Up in CorelDRAW
-
Open CorelDRAW and create a new document.
-
Set your page background to white for clarity.
-
Choose a bold, friendly font for the word Diet. Fonts with soft curves work best because they feel approachable and natural.
Step 3: Designing the Text
-
Type “Diet” and “Mart” separately.
-
Use the Shape Tool to slightly modify the characters, giving them a unique look (e.g., rounding corners or adjusting curves).
-
Apply two-tone coloring:
-
Diet: green (primary) with accents of orange.
-
Mart: smaller text in green, placed neatly under the "t".
-
Step 4: Adding the Leaf Elements
-
Draw leaf shapes using the Bezier Tool or Ellipse Tool + Shape Tool to adjust curves.
-
Place a large leaf above the "D" and smaller leaves around the text.
-
Fill the leaves with gradients of green for depth and freshness.
Step 5: Adding the Dynamic Curve
-
Use the Pen Tool to create a smooth curve sweeping under the text.
-
Duplicate and adjust it slightly to form layered swooshes.
-
Apply green and orange fills to make the design vibrant and energetic.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
-
Group all elements together.
-
Test the logo on different backgrounds (white, black, textured) to ensure it maintains visibility.
-
Export the final logo in PNG (transparent background) and vector format (CDR, EPS, PDF) for flexibility.
