Designer Logo

[kramk32]

I am a novice when it comes to graphic design and the Affinity tools also I am not artistic. 

So to my question. I am creating a Logo out of the letter V. Similar in concept to the XFL Tampa Bay Viper's V. I am trying to keep everything consistent from the left to right sides, but I feel I am missing something. I am eyeballing everything and curves, nodes are slightly off. I would like to design the left side of the logo and then copy and flip it to make the right side that way I know each side is identical. But even with that I can't figure it out.

Thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated.

Draw the left side, copy, and Flip horizontal the copy. Select both shape and join with Geometry Add.
If the shape is two-color (like Tampa), then you have to draw both objects (for each color), and then overlap them.

Only simplified:
- first shape,

- duplicate (twice), select one - Flip horizontal,

- Move Tool, adjust position,

- select both, join with geometry Add.

 

Select next copy, adjust the shape (Node Tool) and color,

 

- duplicate, Flip, Move, select both, Add,

Here’s another workflow using Symbols that you might like to try.
It takes a bit more time to set-up but you can more easily experiment with the shapes until they look right while keeping both sides the same.
Once you have the shapes as you want them you can use the Geometry Add function – as explained by Pšenda above – to ‘lock’ the shapes into their final configurations.

Thank you both very much! These applications have so many capabilities and I am only scratching the surface.

Thank you again
