## Caption

How I balanced this mascot logo.

New Project: Crusty Boys

Punk. Skate. With a little hint of pizza.

What’s not to love?

Balancing organic shapes is always a tough gig… and I like to remind myself that grids are tools, not rules. In this case, they really helped.

I started with a 1:1 setup to get the balance close, then switched to eye-balancing the design for the final tweaks. That combo worked great.

If you want to learn more about how I balance all types of logos, comment “GRID” and I’ll send you a link to my new mini course.

Have a great day, team.
