And now I understand why in the 16 hours of tutorials I watched on Adobe Illustrator the pen tool was stressed in nearly every single one of them. Thank you Ren!

Actually, one follow up question after watching the videos: Keep in mind, my understanding of illustrator is very limited, but why do you use the pen tool as opposed to just an image trace? Wouldn't you be able to achieve all of the same line effects or am I way simplifying and overestimating the ability of image trace? Maybe in the same vein, but possibly a bit different, are there any benefits of using the pen tool over the image trace tool? I ask these questions from the perspective of being awful at hand drawing anything - even balloons - so I'm positive it's just something I'm not understanding from an actual artistic standpoint, but it would seem as if you'd be able to save a bunch of time and achieve the same effect.... again, I don't fully understand illustrator AND I'm an awful artist: the perfect storm for not understanding your brilliance.

Tremendous man. Thank you so much for your help and all you do around here. Back to the lab I go...

Ren, I am absolutely amazed by your logos. Your logos have motivated me to learn the basics of Illustrator and attempt to do the things you have done in this thread. Is there any way you can walk me through the process of a standard logo here? How long does it take? What program do you use? Do you hand draw all of these? Some of these? Any of these? Can you just image trace some of the logos and go from there? HOW exactly do you do this? I want to be able to contribute in some way, unfortunately I'm not the most artistic person in the world, but if I could get a little guidance it could REALLY help. Anything you can tell me would be VERY appreciated. Thank you for everything you do around here, man.
