Etched engraving logos, letterheads, and billheads were commonplace in the 19th century. If you were a merchant in those days, you were likely using it for all your business paperwork.
Have you ever wondered how to make a logo inspired by this time period?
In this tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to create a logo like this in Illustrator with a little help from Photoshop.

George,
Glad you found this tutorial helpful. The main font for First Coast is LHF Elixir, my very first font creation. The other for Seafood Company and support type is LHF Fullblock. Both can be found at letterheadfonts.com
Happy designing,
Mark
