In order for this to work you have to have another white layer outside and below the group.

Looks good 👍🏼 To keep it completely editable and save yourself time with all the copy/paste you can also have one single “Yo” Then click on the text and open the appearance panel. Duplicate the white fill layer several times and add the desired blur to each fill. That way you can also save the effect as a style and add it to anything with a click.

Why not just use the appearance panel instead of using symbols? I followed your example, but used the appearance panel with 5 white fills, each with a different gaussian blur, just like you did. It worked fine - it was completely editable and it was just one object. It just seems easier to use the appearance panel than to use 5 individual instances of a symbol. Just for kicks, I also did the gradient overlay as part of the text appearance in the appearance panel. I put a gradient fill as the top fill on the text, set its opacity to overlay and then gave that fill an offset effect of 150px (anything should work as long as it is greater than the largest gaussian blur used). It seems to work well. A side note - I also tried other blending modes on that fill - Color Burn, Color Dodge and Color all gave cool effects. Of course, those effects look better or worse, depending on the colors chosen for the gradient. OOPS - I just noticed that another user already suggested using the appearance panel. Oh well, I'll just leave my comment up anyway

@brennalp.gymnast

Thanks you for this! I needed to make neon lines and I ended up using the appearance panel with 5 strokes on one object to create the effect after reading your suggestion.

Hi, I have been making some pretty cool stuff following your tutorial. Now, how do I export it as png? Black background can be hidden, prior exporting is done, without affecting anything, but that gradient layer which elevates the whole neon glow to a new level is what I have troubles with? Also, I followed these instructions - group everything and change the blend mode to screen, but nothing happened. To be clear I click properties, after the grouping, look for appearance menu and then click opacity, from where I change from overlay to screen. Thank you and cheers!

Great video, many thanks! I am trying to figure out how to cut out the text with blur from the background. So that I can print the logo on glass for example. Do you know if this is possible? And how? :D

@ForeverDansky

I would try adding the colour directly on to the text at the beginning (rather than using a block colour overlay), as this will retain the transparency in the design. You could also try a similar approach with Photoshop if you would like a bit more realism. If that sounds good, consider checking out this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWeGraawirfXlKQ.html

The first time I did this it worked perfectly, but the second time I was editing an adobe template. I added the new text, and repeated the process but this time when I added the first 0.5 blur it blurred a lot straight away, the final result is very pixelated. Any idea what's gone wrong?

@ForeverDansky

Жыл бұрын

Likely different document or object sizes. On a smaller document 0.5 might be way too much, so 0.1 might be more suitable, and if the document is massive (eg. signage) you may want to go higher than 0.5 for the first blur 👍🙂

Same technique 👍 Although neon in my opinion, doesn’t stand out as well on lighter backgrounds. You may also need to try different blending modes or just apply the desired colour of your neon directly to the text itself.

Sweating after this video you went so fast lol but it worked! Had to pause many times and Google some things because my screen didn't have certain panels pop up likes yours.

hey how to turn logo into neon logo effects?

any reason why mine comes out very pixelated?

What's the pros and cons of doing this on illustrator rather than photoshop?

How do I get this effect without backgrounds? For example in cyberunk theme games you need to make a lot of assets with neon effects. I want to get the action to set to make a neon effect and change colour too. Man adobe being such big industry tool makes it an unintuitive way of making things.
