1. Re: Help creating this gradient pattern
Monika Gause Aug 20, 2010 2:23 PM (in response to Userbak610)You could achieve this by using a blend between the inner form and the rectangle.

2. Re: Help creating this gradient pattern
Userbak610 Aug 20, 2010 2:28 PM (in response to Monika Gause)I tried that, but it's a bit choppy. I haven't had much time to play around with it just yet.
I'll mess with it over the weekend and add more blend steps to see if I can get it exactly how I need it to be.
Thanks!

3. Re: Help creating this gradient pattern
Monika Gause Aug 20, 2010 2:40 PM (in response to Userbak610)Yes, it's one option to add steps in-between. Another option would be to blend using specific anchor points. You can find a tutorial on this at http://tpettit.best.vwh.net/adobe/index.html

Jacob Bugge Aug 20, 2010 2:45 PM (in response to Userbak610)Userbak,
Blends like matching Anchor Points.
Presuming the logo pattern has 10 Anchor Points, namely 4 corner ones, 2 top/bottom ones, and 4 at the transition between circular and rectangular parts, you may add 3 matching Anchor Points to each of the horizontal sides of the rectangle, a) one in the middle and b) one on either side; you may move the b) Anchor Points to different (symmetrical) positions, maybe even to coincide with the corner Anchor Points. That may remove the choppiness as much as is possible.
To have one or more colours in between, you may create a stepwise blend with stroke/no fill paths, expand, and create the final blend from that.
