Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a monogram with letters that interlock and a narrow gap at the meeting point, then placed in a frame. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A monogram is a logo made by combining initials into one symbol. Popular for boutiques, photographers, and personal brands. Type the letters A and R using a thick, large serif font as two separate text objects.

Step 1: Type the initials

Serif fonts give a classic and luxurious look.

Step 2: Create Outlines

Select both letters and press Shift-Ctrl-O. Now both are vector shapes that can be freely modified.

Step 3: Stack the letters

Drag the R letter so that its left leg aligns with the right leg of the A letter, adjust so that both appear balanced as one unified symbol.

Step 4: Create a gap with Offset Path

To prevent the two letters from merging into one, create a space. Select the R letter, offset it by 8 pixels. Then select the offset result and the letter A, click minus front. The letter A is cut along the shape of R with a thin gap.

Step 5: Frame the circle

Draw a circle with a thin gold stroke around the monogram, and a smaller circle. Double framing gives a boutique logo a sophisticated look.

N ngak iga lingkaran

Apply a dark black monogram on a cream background, or gold on a black background for an alternative version.

Save and export. Done. We have already typed the initials, converted them into outlines, stacked the letters, created spacing with proper offset and minus front, and then added a frame.
