Instructions

First Method

As you can see, the effects are arranged in 10 Illustrator file. Open any one of them. I’ve opened the first effect
(Effect_1.ai).

Grab the type tool (T) and select the text. Delete the previous text and type what you want.

Second Method

If you want to save the graphic styles to access the effects from any Illustrator file rather than opening these
files frequently, open Game logo graphic styles.ai and go to Window>Graphic Styles. Then Click the Graphic
Styles Libraries menu icon from the bottom of the graphic styles panel. Then save the graphic styles.
Now create a new Illustrator document or open any other and go to Window>Graphic Styles. Select the Graphic Styles Libraries menu icon again and this time click User Defined>Game logo graphic Styles. This way you can open the effects from any Illustrator document.

To apply graphic styles to your text type some text using type tool and change font and font size. After that,
click on any one of the graphic style to get the effect on your text.

Editing the effect

The good thing about graphic styles is you can edit them even after applying the effect. To edit the effect go to
Window>Appearance. The Appearance panel will open and if you select the text you can see there are some
fills and strokes on the Appearance panel.

=> If you want to remove the shadow, select the last fill and hit delete icon on the bottom right corner of the
Appearance panel.

=> If you want to change the 3d depth, select that fill and expand by clicking the arrow icon on left. After the fill
is expanded click the Transform effect. When transform dialogue box opens increase or decrease the number
of copies to get your desired effect.
