status.im logo treatment

This week I had to recreate the status.im logo "shape" by hand in Illustrator for some work I'm exploring with the Status group.

Once the basic shape was correctly recreated (I have the eyes of an eagle!) , I brought the two pieces into Sketch and went to work.

I've been surprised lately at how good sketch is at handling gradients and depth in ways I would have traditional referred to Adobe Illustrator or Adobe photoshop first to handle. I could have done this in Cinema 4D but it's on another machine and I really don't see the need to take the logo that far, though animating it could get interesting very quickly!

Still work in progress.
