Create Interlocking Letter Logos with Illustrator

In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to create a logo where multiple letters intertwine with each other, using Adobe Illustrator. The letters will be interacting with each other in such a way that it appears as if they're going over and under each other at key points. We'll be making good use of the Offset feature as well as the Direct Selection tool to achieve this.

Thanks for the tutorial

[@daliksheppy]

instead of 20 clicks you can hold shift and use your arrows it would only take 4 clicks. one shift-arrow click is 5 single arrow clicks.

[@jonperkins7598]

Such a great teacher and man you've got a good voice. Have you considered doing voice over work? Anywho...I'm just getting started with inkscape, no Illustrator experience, any chance you can convert these Illustrator tutorials to inkscape?

[@DesignByFaizi]

I have seen your video where you teach how to do this in Inkscape so learning to do this in illustrator took almost no time to memorize

[@nihaonihaou2564]

so awesome and good teacher

[@iscooburah8400]

That was amazing, it indeed guided me easily....
My question is that what process can one take to extract logo from a picture, like animals, birds, etc?

[@shaamamer2711]

[@df.design]

[@Saumann01]

GRACIAS BRO...

[@dfjama]

Good one

[@tapasbarman6368]

great.

[@heatherravenscroft9257]

Your videos are great but I keep having trouble with such a simple task. (Experience w InDesign but using your tutorials to get to know Illustrator!) When you use direct selection took, I cannot get the T to increase. Have held shift and drag, but somehow am doing it wrong. Can you lmk those specific instructions for grabbing and dragging to make the T larger? Thank you!

[@nadooshj7616]

what does hold shift then clicking on letter T/ S do when ur trying to remove the outline thingy ? why do we do that step before using the shape builder tool ?

[@HighLife76th]

How did you separate the enlarged letter form the smaller one. Mines are together and won’t separate

[@tuoehantsi3585]

thank you. how do i bring letters i,e,c letters and 2 and 0 logo?

[@drmd.nurulaminphd805]

alt click on negative area deletes T completely! What mistake I am doing?

[@SutroDidit]

When I did it it still raised the entire letter instead of just the rope half ?

[@alihussen6600]

thinks a lot

[@multipurposechannel4912]

full watched

[@tedz2000]

Can u do that with a v and a t

[@bakertmcb]

Can this be done in Photopea? if so, please show

[@ventoroverso]

Great! Can you upload 2 vid per week?

[@Totalpckge]

What is combining these letters called? Like when you combine the NY on a Yankees hat.

[@ortiz.marcos1760]

What if you don't want the negative space in between? Do you just select the inner nodes instead of the outer nodes and delete?

[@BKSecretsBusiness]

is it possible to do this with 3 letters?

[@ishuu662]

Bro can plzzz make it on "KG "

[@Dinesh-ub7yi]

just clicked like button when you showed which window setting are on

[@bb2j3z2x]

sorry new to illustrator, when using the direct selection tool when I try to extend the T, even when I select the top part and the drag... the whole T moves up and doesn't stretch?

[@DesignMadeSimple]

By default all of the anchor points will be selected when you grab the Direct Selection tool. Just click off of the graphic to deselect them, or click once on a single anchor point, then you'll be able to grab the ones at the top to stretch it.

[@iffahmohamad2301]

@@DesignMadeSimple mine also has the same issue. Can I just simply distort the T? It will make the same result right?
