How can I transform this SS into this:

I don’t know how to explain in detail, to be honest. I’ll paste images.

Current

 

Desired (but red is part of the SS and is the same color)

I don’t know how to achieve this. Can someone help?

    Is the red line supposed to simulate an EKG wave form? You can use path editing tools, such as the Scissors tool, to break open the segment of the SS icon that needs to be replaced. I would use the Pen tool to manually draw the replacement segment and adjust the thickness of the stroke so it matches up with the existing line work. Then I would expand the stroke into editable paths and join it to the existing SS letters. It’s probably safest to work on a copy on another layer above the original SS letters.

    Thanks so much!
    I ended up using the shape builder tool instead of join tool because it was too complicated but everything else was good advice. Thanks Bobby!
