Removing unwanted border lines from shapes

[Joseph5CF4]

Hello, I'm a photoshop novoce, and I've created a logo using several shapes like the one pictured above.  All of the shapes have these horizontal lines around their borders, which show up when I export the photo, and I have not been able to figure out how to remove them. 

Any help anyone could give me would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

You should make logos in illustrator, not photoshop.

may I move this post to the illustrator forum?

thanks

I have almost completed the project, and just need help with this issue in photoshop.  Unless they have the exact same interface, moving this post to illustrator will not actually help me resolve my issue.

Very good

You mention "horizontal lines" but I don't see any actual horizontal lines in the image. Are you referring to the lines sticking out of the edge of the ball?

[Joseph5CF4]

Right, more accurately I would say lines perpindicular to all of the shapes I have created.

You should be able to select the internal white areas if they are on a separate layer or layers and move them above the lines. (Just the white areas not including any lines.) If the white areas are transparent, you can still select them all, make a new layer, and fill with white.

You can do something similar for the black shapes, but you will have to contract the edges of the selection so the stitch lines still show. 

The outer edge can be clipped to the shape.

So there is no simple, check a box solution to remove the lines?  Is there a setting that is turned on for them to be there in the first place?  They are on every shape I create:

It I need to manually select each segment of the soccerball for example it seems like it would be easier to just make a new one without the strange lines. 

Thanks for your help so far!

You could use the Magic Wand tool and turn off the contiguous setting. That would select the "gold" color everywhere in the document. Then you must decide what to do with the selection. Is all this art on one layer?

[Joseph5CF4]

Each shape is its own layer!

What about the lines? Are they on their own layer?

no unfortuanately the lines seem to be baked into the shapes 😕  Using the magic wand and deleting them leaves strange gaps on the inside of the shapes.
