Blending tool for connected one line logo (like infinity logo but two point overlapped)

Hi I'm working on a logo like this.  

It is one line logo, but overlapping part is a bit tricky. There are two vertical lines, what I want to do is the right one is behind, the left one if front of horizontal line. I found tutorials for one line object that have two both end. But my design is no end. How to connect it naturally?
I tried two pathes separate. but both end point would be visible.
It should not be that gradient 3d texture. Could be plain gradient colour like this
Thank you in advance!

Ayako, hi.

Would you be interested in something like this??

Here I am working with strokes and a gradient. It gives you somewhat a 3D look.

It’s 3 paths, cut like Tina’s example.

Apply gradient across stoke.

As far as I understand your request, it should also be possible with one continuous path to which an Art brush is applied (possibly combined with additional appearance attributes).

Hi Kurt, Thank you for your response! I tried it. It worked shape wise.
I made a gradient blush, but it does not work well for curve path.
Could you give me any advice for the problem?

Here's a way to execute it as a vector. You'll need three separate pieces (segments shown in image). This is a quick version, but if you can get the gradients to line up, this could work for you as a vector graphic.

Hi Tina, thank you! It looks like exactly what I want.
I made a wrong separation before.
I appreciate it!

You cannot connect it.

You can only fake it.

Easiest would be to do it in Photoshop. Then you will have a rasterized logo. Which doesn't matter, because the blend version isn't suitable as a logo either.

Thank you for your advice. I exported .psg format. In Photoshop which tool shoul I use ? I could not use healing brush here. Shoud I marge the layers? 
In the end I need SVG and CSV. If there any other way with illustrator too, I would like to know! thank you

You could check out the clone tool.

 

It will be a mixture of several tools to iron that out and it's certainly not a one-click solution.
