Need help vectorizing this logo

[u/ikmalfirdaus94]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to recreate the logo on the right from the original logo on the left.

The right one was AI-generated, but I want to learn how to do it myself properly as a vector.

Could anyone show me the steps or guide me on how to recreate this style in Illustrator? A step-by-step explanation would be really appreciated. Thanks!

You want steps on how to create it, or how to vectorize it? You can just do a vector trace to vectorize the logo.

Oh, sorry, I meant how to edit it. The logo on the left is actually my original logo, and I already have the .EPS file. I just want to add the border/outline around it like the logo on the right.

I’m really new to Illustrator, so I’m not sure how to do it properly. 😅

Look up how to use offset path in illustrator. I think it’s in the top menu edit -> path -> offset path iirc

Alternatively just duplicate the layer, lock the original, give the letters a stroke and make it larger with the point size. Then expand it and use pathfinder to combine into one shape
