Recreating Airbnb Logo in Affinity Designer

[SuperUser]

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for this!

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!
