Example of a Challenge
We would like to recreate Mitsubishi logo in TikZ. To this end, follow these instructions:
- Use polar coordinates (details of coordinates are shown below)
- Use fill command and close the path with --cycle
- Draw only one diamond and rotate it with different angles
Modify the following code and compile it to get the above result:
\documentclass[border=0.2cm]{standalone}
% Loading TikZ
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
% Diamond 1
\fill[red] (0,0) -- (0:2) -- (-30:3.5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

About me
I am Benmiloud Mohammed, founder of latexdraw.com, personal blog about drawing illustrations in LaTeX using different packages such as TikZ, Pgfplots and CircuitikZ.
During my PhD studies, I faced difficulties when it comes to drawing technical illustrations for my research papers. After many attempts, I found TikZ the best option for me. From that time, I am using it and encourage LaTeX users to do so.
It's in TikZ so it must be beautiful
