: How to make a logo where a letter is made of particles of varying sizes? How can I make a logo in Adobe Illustrator like the AntiParticle logo below, from http://www.graphicdesigninspiration.net/2012/08/15/70-awesome-logo-desi

@Holmes874

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but to add an answer that contrasts with the more scripted/automated suggestions, I'd suggest drawing a circle. Then duplicate it a bunch of times. And resize them. And then lay them out on the shape of a letter until it looks good to you.

Aside from placing the objects by hand, @mast0r has the normal solution to this problem.

For those who aren't afraid of Scriptographer...

And aren't running CS6. Here are further options for producing nice randomized effects.

Bubbel Bubbling
This is an interactive tool that places the bubbles as you draw with the Scriptographer tool.



Bubbel Bubbling stroke
A modification of the script to apply the effect to a selected path.



Randomdistribute
This tool just randomizes a selection of objects.



Variator
Randomize with control over hue, saturation, brightness, size and opacity.

My example is not a perfect, but you can take it as guideline for your logo-training. I hope this help you.

1) Create a new text layer



2) Take a pen tool and draw two lines so together they are looking like "a"



3) Turn text layer off, we don't need it anymore



4) Take "Ellipse Tool" and draw some ellipses. Now turn brushes window on. Select all the ellipses and drag it to the brushes window.



5) A new scatter brush created



6) Apply this brush to the "a" lines



7) Finnaly adjust the brush settings like this
