Designing logo in Adobe Illustrator

After done selecting to logo you want to do, you can take a picture of the sketch and start trace it in AI (Adobe Illustrator). After done tracing, correct what you need to correct such as the thickness of the font or you want to add something extra, some curvy tail or anything you want. But never erase the previous one because you need to compare which one is better. Like what I did at below picture. 

Also try to do it in negative and positive effect. After finish it, you can do a color composition to select which color is the best for your logo. 

In the end, I had chosen gold color.
