Illustrator logo - striggling to save as a solid / uneditbale vector ?

[Joanne230909308xgi]

I am struggling with this logo that has warp layers / envelope distort / warp /arc on a banner, outline strokes and clipping masks. I have tried my ususal "go to methods" of

- Type / create outlines

- Object Expand /Appearance

- object / expand

- and even tried everything on the Pathfinder Panel -- to no avail 😞

The logo is still showing the 3-red-lines on the "strokes, the banner that has a warp appled and is till revealaing the 2 red boxes around it (the ones that show it is warped) and everything is still is moveable? The text is at least outlined but even that is moveable ...I want everything to be a solid scalable image for the client so they dont rearrange the elements.

Help please? 🙂

If the client has access to Illustrator, they will be able to edit the file to some degree regardless of what you do.

Hi Thank you for you response -- I think I figured it out ...I need to do "expand" and merge a couple elements at a time versus selecting all of the elements and expecting it to merge together at one time. Extra steps I supppose?  ... to have to piece it together with small groupings, and then combine / merge everything togehter at the end.

Thank you for your assitance! 🙂
