## Adobe Illustrator Brand Identity Designer – Editable Logo System
I am looking for an experienced **Adobe Illustrator / brand identity designer** to professionally rebuild an existing approved logo into a clean, precise, fully editable vector brand system.
**This is not a request for a new logo or redesign.** I already have the approved visual direction and will provide the reference artwork privately to shortlisted candidates. I need someone with strong Illustrator skills who can manually reconstruct it accurately, correct the typography and vector geometry, and organize everything into a professional master file that can be reused across multiple related brands.
The base identity is **Cloud IX**, with current and planned versions including:
* Cloud IX Luxury
* Cloud IX Properties
* Cloud IX Exotics
The core Cloud IX emblem and wordmark must remain consistent while the business descriptor can be changed easily.
### What I Need
The finished system will include:
* A manually constructed vector cloud/emblem
* A refined serif CLOUD IX wordmark
* Matching IX typography between the emblem and wordmark
* An editable business descriptor such as Luxury
* Tapered/light-ray graphic elements
* Editable tagline
* Organized Adobe Illustrator layers
* Dark, light and transparent versions
* Watermark and social/profile versions
* Files suitable for website, eBay, social media, business cards, print, packaging and product photography
* Animation-ready layered artwork for possible future motion graphics
The reference artwork contains AI-generated typography, so some text will need to be rebuilt using actual professional fonts rather than traced.
I do **not** want automated Image Trace or AI recreation used as a substitute for clean manual vector construction.
### Editable Brand System
The Illustrator master should keep the major components separate and editable, including:
* Cloud
* Emblem IX
* CLOUD IX wordmark
* Descriptor
* Light rays
* Tagline
* Color/metallic effects
* Backgrounds
The goal is to reuse the same Cloud IX base structure for different brands in the future.
### Deliverables
The complete project will ultimately require:
* Editable Adobe Illustrator `.AI` master with live text
* Outlined production `.AI` version
* SVG
* EPS
* PDF
* Transparent PNG versions
* Dark/light background versions
* Emblem/profile-image version
* Watermark version
* Font list
* Editable brand colors
* Animation-ready layered artwork
### Confidentiality & Ownership
This project is confidential.
The reference artwork, logo, drafts, source files and finished work may **not be posted publicly, displayed in a portfolio or social media, reused for another client, shared with third parties, subcontracted, or uploaded to public AI systems without my written permission.**
I require all custom source files and exclusive rights to the completed custom work.
Please confirm in your application that you agree to these requirements.
### How to Apply
**Begin your application with the words “Vector First.”**
Please keep your application concise and answer the following:
1. How many years have you used Adobe Illustrator professionally?
2. Please provide 2–4 examples of your strongest manual vector/logo work.
3. Briefly describe your process for rebuilding an existing raster logo into a clean, editable Illustrator master without relying on Image Trace.
4. Have you created editable brand/logo systems with multiple variations?
5. Are you comfortable providing organized Illustrator files with live editable text?
6. Do you have Adobe After Effects or logo-animation experience?
7. Please confirm that you will not publish, share, reuse or display this project without written permission.
8. What is your hourly rate and typical availability?
Shortlisted applicants may be offered a **small paid Illustrator skills test** before the full project.
There is potential for **ongoing design work** for the right person, including website graphics, social media assets, marketplace headers, watermarks, print materials and possibly motion graphics.
Please keep your response concise. I am more interested in your actual Illustrator work and technical approach than a long cover letter.
