1. Open the .logo.ai. file
with Illustrator.
2. Make sure the toolbox is
visible. Select Window>Show Tools if it is not.
3. Adjust magnification as
needed by using Zoom Tool 
from the toolbox.
4. Switch to Type Tool
and replace "Company Name"
with the name of your company.
5. The text you typed might happen to be shorter or longer
than sample text. Use Selection Tool
to position new text
properly.
6. Since letters have
changed, the underline also needs some editing. Select a portion
of underline with Direct Selection Tool . In case some other
element gets selected instead of underline, send this element to
background with Arrange>Send To Back from context menu.
7. Resize lines by dragging
nodes with Direct Selection Tool . Holding down the Shift key
allows preserving vertical coordinate of a node unchanged thus
keeping the underline horizontal.
8. In case you need to
remove extra fragments of underline select them and choose
Edit>Clear.
9. To obtain additional
fragments of the same width and color copy an existing fragment
with Edit>Copy and then select Edit>Paste. A copy
will appear to the upper left of initial line fragment. Drag the
copy in place with Selection or Direct Selection Tool and resize
it as described in sub step 7.
10. When you have created
appropriate number of fragments of underline and resized them as
needed you may want to make sure they are all horizontal and
leveled. Select all fragments with Direct Selection Tool by
either drawing a box around the whole underline or shift-clicking
each fragment. Right-click the selection and choose Average.
Set the radio button to Horizontal position and click OK.
