Multicolour example

1.First take your scribble background and make sure you have it as outlines.


Make sure your logo is all grouped together.
Place your scribble path over the top of the logo (Object > Arrange > Bring to Front.
Object > Clipping Path > Make (Apple 7 or Control 7)



Single colour example

Same as above but start with a compound path instead of a group of objects. You can then start to use the pen tool to redraw sections of your mask to make it look more organic by adding and moving points.

Please excuse the crude diagrams :(

Scribble Background
1. Make an artboard the size of the square you would like.


Use the pen or pencil tool to draw joined up vertical lines while staying inside the artboard.
Duplicate and rotate your lines 90 degrees (or draw horizontal ones for more random looking effect).
Change stroke to the correct colour.
