Recycling circle for logo

**AndyD** · 20 April 2020, 04:41 PM

Hi there,
I have been asked whether I could put together a simple logo for a friend - believe me it will be simple if I am making it.
What I have been asked for is 3 letters ECW above a "Recycling circle". Well the letters shouldn't be a problem but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of how to construct or source a template for the recycling circle. The company will be advisors to the building trade on the recycling and disposal of their waste building materials.

If you are still on version 10, you don't have the Xara link though to Pixabay Stock illustrations.

So go direct to Pixabay and search "recycle" in Illustrations.
Download the SVG offering you like.

Build your own, changing the Yin-Yang circles to arrowheads in https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...760#post622760.

Are you sure you want to add the customer brand to a recycle logo; it might suggest the opposite?

Thanks for that info.
I've recently upgraded to v16. I recently took the AppSumo offer for DepositPhoto too.
Their specific request was for a recycling circle... I was a bit flummoxed myself.

If you don't have access to the Content Catalog then I would start with one of these https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=Rec...ages&ia=images

The use the Shape Tool to create a vector version. Easy enough to create the six parts.

So you can use the Online Content Catalogue and search the Stock illustrations for "recycle".

All quite quick.

Just very recently upgraded as it was a bit overdue, lol, so not really had time to play with it.
I'll need to review the offerings. Always appreciated any advice from the folk on here.

Content Gallery apart that shape is a difficult one to draw straight off in Xara. Attached is my version and an animated version:

Thanks Egg. That's a great piece of work. I downloaded some circular forms from Depositphotos and had a wee play too. I sent these to my neighbour just in case they were interested in using them. Logo Concepts.xar
