How to use Logo Grid Generator™

Logo Grid Generator™ helps you instantly reveal your logo designs structure, through anchors, handles, outlines and gridlines. 

This guide will walk you through the essentials so you can get started fast and avoid any issues. 

Before generating your grid:

• Group or Unite your logo elements in Illustrator

  → Use Object > Group or the Pathfinder tool

⚠️ Skipping this step may cause the grid to apply to only part of your design.

Open Akrivi Gridit and navigate to the Logo Grid tab. Toggle the components you want to generate:

• Anchors – helps reveal anchor point structure

• Handles – shows curve control handles

• Outlines – adds an outline around your shape

• Gridlines – creates straight-lines for alignment guides

You can generate grids in two ways:

• Option 1: Select your logo → choose individual components → click Generate

• Option 2: Select your logo → click Generate All

Click the Customize arrow to expand the settings. In V3, you can now adjust visual properties in real-time using Live Sliders.

1. Select a Component: Click on the specific element you want to edit (e.g., Anchors, Handles, or Gridlines).

2. Adjust the Sliders: Drag the sliders to change the properties:

• Scale: Increases or decreases the visual size of the anchors or handles.

• Stroke: Adjusts the weight/thickness of the lines or outlines.

3. Set Colors: Click the color swatches to define the Fill and Stroke colors for high contrast against your background.

Use these tools to refine your logo design:

• Anchors → Look for uneven, overlapping, or unnecessary anchor points

• Gridlines → Check for straight lines and even spacing

Tip: If gridlines don’t appear, your shape may be slightly curved. Try redrawing the path.

The Lite version doesn’t include customization tabs, but you can manually adjust elements in Illustrator:

To resize anchors/handles:

1. Select the grid elements

2. Go to Object > Transform > Transform Each

3. Use the slider to scale everything evenly

To change colors or stroke weight:

1. Open the Layers Panel

2. Click the target layer button for the grid component

3. Change the color or stroke weight like any Illustrator object

This tutorial covers the basic features of Logo Grid Generator™, especially for users of the Lite version purchased via Gumroad (one-time payment).

If you’re a Gridit subscriber, you’ll also have access to advanced tools like the Customize tab and Preferences tab — allowing for deeper control over your grids.
