How to create multiple strokes around text?!

[clevelandb96079830]

I am looking to create a design that has the same look as a logo I saw but I can't seem to find out how it was made. Most of my searches have led me to videos on "Stroke Offset" & "Offset Path" but I don't think either of these are what was done. If anyone could please help me I'd really appreciate it! Below is the logo. Does anyone know the steps on how to make this?

Generally Logos that contain sharp elements should be created as vector content if possible and that effectively means using Illustrator (or the like) instead of Photoshop.

Breaking the lines might be more conveniently done in Photoshop admittedly but the output quality might not be what it should be.

You would want something better than that.   Something that will scale well.  The logo even at the size is crude the black D and G ruff and the girl soft and the strokes so so.

Illustrators’s Blend feature might prove useful.

Hi Cleveland,

...and if the Blend in Illustrator doesn’t give the right effect, another approach is that multiple strokes can be added to the object in Illustrator using the Appearance panel. An Effect can be added for each stroke for Offset Path to control the distance, and each stroke can be formatted with a separate dashed line or a brush stroke (Art brush) to make it look exactly like the first picture.

This can be done with live text or text that has been converted to an outline. A graphic style can be created for reuse.

Ask if you want / need more details.

Thank you everyone for your help! I'm going to try the blend option in illustrator.

Also in Illustrator, you could make a set of the lines then turn them into an art brush. Apply that brush to the letter.
