Illustrator
Well in addition to other junk, I plan to show what I
am doing in my adventures in using Adobe Illustrator.
I have been playing kingdom hearts recently and kingdom hearts 2 and have begun playing around with how the logos are made. I have grids to get the relative sizes. Interestingly a ratio of 5 to 3 and 3 to 2 is close to the Golden Ratio. Obviously these are not exactly 5 to 3 and 3 to 2 ratios but they are interestingly close.
The Symbols in the screen shot are from various sites and vectorized in Illustrator CS 2 and muddled about using various lengths.
Basically these shapes are made from squares triangles and circles. No more than 10 primitives are used to form them, yet they are visually stunning and found throughout the game as repetative motif's. The symbols are of Roxas, some other organization, and the Nobodies. The Original Heartless logo is basically made up of a heart and the bottom part of a fleur-de-lis with a "barbed wire" X.
