Add color

Now that the basic shape for the logo is complete, you can add color to it. You will use the Bezier tool to create irregular shapes in the body and roof of the hut, which you will fill with color. You don't have to be precise when creating the shapes with the Bezier tool, because after you have created the shapes, you will place them behind the lines. This will hide any rough edges. The design for The Coffee Shop logo uses three colors. The top will be a custom color that you will create using the Fill color dialog. Alternating squares of olive and deep yellow fill the background.

To create the Bezier shape for the background

1. Open the Curve flyout , and click the Bezier tool .
2. Click the left corner of the roof to begin creating the shape of the top.
3. Click the peak of the top, just below the loop.
4. Click the right corner.
5. Click once or twice along the line that forms the bottom.
6. Click the first node you created with the Bezier tool to complete the shape.
