I am desperatley in need of some help. I am trying to recreate a logo in Illustrator as a vector image as the only version of the logo that we have is a poor quality Photoshop file. The original vector file cannot be placed.

 

The effect that I need is for my text to be outlined in black with this diffused speckly effect. Does anyone know how I can achieve this on Illustrator? (See part of current PNG logo below)

 

Many thanks

    Inflov, Hi.

    For that grunge look, I just used a brush.

    Artistic> Artistic_Chalk

    I drew an S shape, 1pt stoke, white, applied Chalk art brush.

    Then expanded, (now have Fills).

    Ungrouped, deleted some and moved around a few.

    Go to your Symbols Library and choose "Artistic Textures". Then select the "stipple" symbol texture. 

    Next, select your symbol sprayer tool. Now click and drag on your canvas to draw a stipple texture effect.

    You could also try to find some grunge brush library on the internet to make the letter "S" texture.
