Contour widths 1

[AKACUSTOMS]

Can anyone help???

I'm having a difficult time altering my contour widths and have tried several ways to achieve the logo I'm attempting.

Face Color: Script font (Blue)
Color 2: Detail outline around font (white)
Color 3: Extruded contour (Yellow)
Color 4: Detail outline around extrusion (blue)

This is a sports logo that will look similar to the Milwaukee Brewers logo.
Here's a MLB example:

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

That's kind of a small pic, so I can't actually see all the detail, but those don't look like "contours." So I went to

http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?l_id=4&t_id=64&logo=1167

to get a better look... not really "contours" at all as contours surround the outline of the entire image.

This style can be done in a couple of ways. Try this: type out your text; copy it to the clipboard. Hit the + key on the keypad and that will dupe the object right on top of the parent object. Hold down the shift key and go "down" say 2 times and "right" 2 times (this is just to test, your actual offset will be up to what you feel looks right). Let's color this offset object gold. Hit shift-pgdn to move it do the bottom. Go to the "top" object and color it the same. Select the interactive blend tool, click on the top object and drag to the bottom object and release. Now paste the object you copied to the clipboard to the top.

Select the top object, color it whatever you want. Select the Interactive Contour tool. Change the number of steps to 1, change the "flow" from inside to outside (if outside wasn't already active). Change the fill color to White. Change the contour offset to whatever you feel is good. -- you *could* use the Outline function here, but that does not always resize well.

Paste the original object again, move it to the bottom and offset it to where it looks ok.

the detail outline around extension is actually the second extrude

you can try this (easier i think
type the text
goto interactive extrude tool...
extrude it as deep as you want
right click on the extrude and select break apart
send it to back
now click on the extrude object and drag it a little bit on right and down and when you reach the position for second ext.. right click and release. this should duplicate the object in the place you released the right click

send this to back also...

then click on the text.. hit F12 (outline dialog) and make an outlkine as thick as you want... (you can check the box where it says "scale with image")

now give every object its colour and.. voila
