    Hello,

    This is somehow a continuation of the thread I need help making straight segments where I asked for how to make the figure look great with solid colors.

    Now I need to add gradients to that figure. It should look like this:

    This is what I got so far with Inkscape using gradients to blue, yellow and border parts:

    As you can see, there is still work to be done.

    The most critical thing is to get the relief of the logo, since I used Stroke but there are some gaps in white and blue:

    If you can help me replicate it as much as possible or give me a tutorial, I would appreciate it.

    It is possible that the white strokes are too big and covering the fill.  Total Guess since I am not sure of the construction.

    @awolf thanks for your help!

    I don't think I can understand what you mean. However you can take a look at the first image where the border is not edited. Hope it helps.

    It is not clear what the problem is. 

    Are you asking for help for a technical issue, or creative?

    @TylerDurden sorry. I am asking for replicating as much as possible the first image. The second image shows what I have done, and the third shows with detail how the border should look like. I think I replicated it very well, but I don't know how to make the border of the logo.

    OK. I'm not an artist or designer. Maybe a real artist or designer can give better advice.

    Here is how I'd approach it: 

    Steps:

    • Make a full filled area background for borders. (The foreground will be in front, so no gaps at the edges.)
    • Divide the background into separate filled objects. (The red lines are "combined".)
    • Make gradients for each area, using multiple gradient nodes for some areas.
    • Use the eyedropper tool in the gradient editing to copy the color from one gradient to another, making the appearance of continuous color.
    • Add the foreground.

    Helpful info:

    @TylerDurden that's exactly the method I was searching. However I have created narrower edges than others, the ends are an example. Maybe it's because I didn't understand the steps well:

    I expanded a little the background to simulate the border, but I am not sure if you meant that.

    I think that will still be fine.  Generally, if it looks good, it is good.
