NBG Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Is it possible to create such a logo in AD ... which is editable (text) after? I guess it's not possible to choose a gradient for background color of the letters and must be solved with a mask? Also it has TWO outlines (and a shadow) ... Thanks for any hints..

NBG Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Ok i made in AD... 1) Gradient 2) Text 3) Mask 4) Add grey outline 5) Group 6) Add grey outline to whole group Problem: If resizing the logo the outline width always stays the same Logo.afdesign William Overington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz_H Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 check "scale with object" I did: - Artistic Text Tool - Effects-Panel: Outer-Shadow & Outline - set Fill-Color - set Border/Stroke Color - set Stroke-Witdh - Fill-Tool to adjust gradients for Fill and Stroke kind regards Fritz NBG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the extension of @NBG's linked file is .afdesign, I assume he/she used Affinity Designer. At first sight I cannot spot anything in the file that would require Photo or Publisher. 14 hours ago, Fritz_H said: check "scale with object" This won't work with the approach @NBG chose because the outline was created using layer effects where the scale with object option is not available. If the outline needs to scale proportionally with the object, I think the only way to achieve this is using the Appearance panel and applying multiple strokes. Since these are not available for text objects, the logo needs to be converted to curves. See my example below. Logo.afdesign Edit: Layer effects, too, have a Scale with object option, but this would apply to all layer effects of the object. Not sure if this is desirable here since there's also a drop shadow involved. William Overington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
