3. Expand Appearance
Now go to Object > Expand Appearance to remove all effects and convert to paths. After the text object is expanded, Ungrounp the object by Object > Ungroup or press Ctrl+Shift+G. You probably need to do Ungroup 4-5 times in order to break the object apart.

hope this can benefit all, especially for novice designers.
learning always starts from basic and if we have a more advanced stage and our ability increase. it is not impossible that we can create another great logo.

Here are most of the other examples of development techniques above.
