Create a logo for your initials

  1. Type your two initial letters separately so you can align them in a way that they can be woven.
  2. Go to Type > Create Outlines.
  3. Overlap the letters so they can be woven inside and outside of each other. You may want to enlarge one letter for a better overlap.
  4. Go to Window > Pathfinder > Divide. All the overlapping shapes become separate shapes.
  5. Use the Direct Select Tool (White arrow) to fill the overlapped shape with the opposite color.
  6. The finished design should look like letters are intertwined.
