Im trying to create this 3D type of text where it looks like the letters Super and Shell are almost shooting out of a spotlight. Is there any name for this effect or an easy way to do this in illustrator? I've tried looking online and havent been able to find anything. Thank you!

    Try learning to use the Type on a Path tool.

    And/or the Object>Envelope Distortion>Make with Warp (or Mesh)

     

    BTW, that text is pretty flat not 3D by far.

    Laskio,

     

    In addition to what Lutz and Federico said, I believe everyone would be happier if the spotlight rays were closer to actual rays converging downwards to a perceived narrow source, instead of forming mere rectangular shapes that are just amended/edited to (only) partially fit the outer shape of the S and even further from fitting the U shape.

    Thanks for the help. The look of the text that I have pictured is quite 3D. Its supposed to look like the text is shooting out of the screem.

    There's a million ways to do these types of sun rays effects using perspective transforms, envelope warps, blends, brushes and whatnot. Entirely depends on what specific look you're after. That said, your design would be simple enough to just do it by hand and taper the rays by moving anchor points around on the fill areas.
