so I have my “brand” logo here, in a square, it looks perfectly fine, or at least pretty fine.
But, if I put it into a circle, it looks very off-center due to the U having a sharp edge, and the D having a rounded edge.
Is there anyway I can make it look on-center, or a good way to try to find out the amount it needs to be moved, etc, to make it look on-center? I’ve been able to make it look slightly on-center, but I can still tell it’s off.
Answer
There’s already said that the space between the U and the circle should be equal with the space between the D and the circle. Move the items until they look right is, of course, how to fix the visual imbalance. But how to measure the space and adjust it if one wants a crutch to lean on? Here’s one idea. It assumes the shortest distances should be the same.
-
Draw 2 thin circles to the most cramped points of the text. Hold Alt+Ctrl to be able to start from the center of the original circle. Have Smart Guides and Snap to Point =ON to find the center. You must draw the circles approximately, it needs extra work to make them snap to the text,
-
Move the text to right with an arrow key until both cramped points are in the middle of the gap. Set small enough arrow key increment in the preferences. Count how many ticks it took.
-
Moving UHD and its counterpart XXXX together is a must because obviously XXXX must be aligned with UHD. But it seems to happen that XXXX looks like it is too far in the right when compared to the circle.
-
Moving XXXX back half of the number of used ticks seems to fix the problem as a compromise.
