Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this design thing for a while, and I wanted to try and recreate the “AEW Double or Nothing” logo. I’m not a pro or anything, just a dude who likes to fiddle with stuff.
First, I searched for the logo online. I just typed “AEW Double or Nothing logo” into the search bar, and boom, tons of images popped up. I picked one that looked pretty clear and saved it to my computer. It was a PNG, around 2100 x 1560 pixels, and the file size was like 267KB. I also stumbled upon the “AEW Dynamite” logo, which I thought was cool, and another image named “*.”
Then I remembered seeing something on social media about it being the 4th anniversary of Double or Nothing, which was apparently AEW’s first show. So, I decided to watch the main show in the background while I worked on this logo thing. I also jotted down some observations, just for kicks.
While watching, I read about the debut of a wrestler, the former Sasha Banks, and how her momentum had kinda slowed down. It’s been like two and a half months since she showed up in AEW. There were also some tags like “Airborne early warning and control” and “Knock, Knock” that I didn’t really get, but whatever.
Back to the logo. I opened up my design software and imported the logo I saved. I started by trying to trace the outline of the letters. It was kinda tricky, especially the fancy bits and the curved parts. I used the pen tool a lot and tweaked the points until it looked sorta right. It took a while, and it wasn’t perfect, but I think I got the general shape down.
Next, I tried to match the colors. I used the eyedropper tool to sample the colors from the original logo and applied them to my traced version. The gradient was a bit of a pain, but I played around with the settings until it looked decent. I added some effects to make it look a bit shiny and 3D, just like the original.
- Searched for “AEW Double or Nothing logo” online.
- Saved a clear PNG image (2100 x 1560 pixels, 267KB).
- Watched the main show of Double or Nothing’s 4th anniversary.
- Read about Sasha Banks’ debut and some random tags.
- Traced the outline of the logo in my design software.
- Matched the colors using the eyedropper tool.
- Added effects to make it look shiny and 3D.
After a lot of trial and error, I finally finished my version of the logo. It’s not a perfect replica, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It was a fun little project, and I learned a few things along the way.
It is not easy to do that, you know. But it is very interesting. Try it next time!
