SuperUser Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Hello, I am trying to re-create the airbnb logo, but I am currently struggling as you cannot combine shapes easily in Affinity Designer the way you can in Illustrator. Does anyone know how to re-create it properly using Designer? I am trying to do the same in Designer. Thanks. Quote
Joachim_L Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 From a short test I did myself you do not need combining shapes. I did it with the Triangle Tool, the Corner Tool and the Node Tool. Make a triangle, make rounded corners top, left and right, add a node at the bottom and twist the lines there.

But then the twist in the middle is not perfect, as is the top is not round. Quote
GarryP Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 I had a bit of a play around – keeping to a self-imposed limit of using a single curve – and came up with what’s in my attached video. It’s not accurate, and needs lots of work, but someone may have the time/patience to make something better, and post it here to help everyone else. 2020-04-08_12-52-49.mp4 SuperUser and Joachim_L 2 Quote
Mithferion Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 There are several ways to get to this result. I prefer doing the basic shapes with the Smart Objects, and then do the rest adjusting the Nodes and Curves. I think I got a pretty close result that way: Best regards!
