Adobe Illustrator: Diamonds! The Polar Grid

Good Afternoon,

Today, we worked on how the polar grid worked.  We clicked on the "Polar Grid" and it gave us a circular image with lines through it.  Well, we want something that is going to look like a diamond.  So we created a polar grid and inserted two squares of equal size, but rotated one to get it to line up to look like a diamond on the grid.  We used the Line Segment tool to draw lines to connect the square boxes to the polar grid.

Example:









We put the this onto a black background and used it for a logo for a security company.  Here are the results:

I liked the effect of the star on the word "diamond" and this was created using the "Star Tool" and added the radius and the points to make the image that you see.
