By making a custom brush in illustrator, then apply it to a 8/S path

Create a first line and duplicate on an axe, and CTRL/D x 8.. And it's over

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm tired of saying CTRL+D is for newbs

>>259224
There you go

>never thought of using blend that way

And here I am with my offset path..
>>
>>259254
Gotta be honest , my first try was with offset path , but offset kinda fucks up the path, thats why I duplicated the very first shape and simply scaled it up.

>>259257
>>259254
Also! It is important that you clean up the stray points generated by the pathfinder using "object-> path-> cleanup" because if you do this , the blending will generate crazy results.

>cleanup
pure gold

the blend tool gave me this

for the ousite shape instead of doing path-> offset path, simply ctrl+c and ctrl+F and scale it up, you will have a simpler path by simply duplicating it instead of doing and offset path which give you unecessary anchors. Do like I did in the gif..

Also the blend tool is giving you that crazy result because there are probably stray points blending in simply:
> object-> path-> cleanup
and then do the blend again.
>>
>>259248
nice. lovely simplicity, fast and productive. i'm proficient in illustrator, know blend tool fairly well, but still would end up manually constructing the thing using some sort of grid (the default square one or an isometric one i'd make myself)
>>
>>259281
that look pretty nice for me, you should give this logo to a recording agency or else
>>
>>259248
I literally cummed.
