Carib Select Watersports in Grand Cayman asked Billie Bryan to design a
logo to attract cruise ship passengers to their popular Stingray City
excursion. Bryan began by drawing the dark blue shape of Grand Cayman
island and setting the type. She duplicated the artwork layer and then hid it
by clicking its visibility icon in the Layers panel. Selecting the type, Bryan
opened the Appearance panel, double-clicked Characters, filled the type
with light blue, clicked the Add New Effect icon, and chose Stylize> Inner
Glow. She clicked on the swatch next to the Stroke to change the color to a
medium blue, clicked the Add New Effect icon, chose Distort & Transform>
Transform, and changed the Move values to offset the stroke. She moved
the stroke below the fill in the panel. Next, she selected the Add New Fill
from the panel menu and dragged the new fill below the stroke. She
changed its color to dark purple-blue and gave it an inner glow like the first
fill. Finally, she selected Add New Stroke from the panel menu, widened its
stroke, and colored it with dark blue. She also used the Transform effect to
offset the stroke. To complete the logo, Bryan used the island shape to add
a water effect to the letters. To do this, she turned on the visibility of the
duplicate layer she had hidden previously. She converted the type to
outlines, selected the island, moved it in front of the type outlines, and
selected the island and the type. Then she opened the Pathfinder panel and
chose Intersect. She finished the logo by recoloring the resulting shapes in
a light blue.
