: Merging pen lines to create logo I have finally got my logo to where I want it in illustrator, and I want to preserve all of my pen lines and strokes but just make it one joined object,

@Rambettina927

It sounds like you want to Group your logo, which you can do with Command+G or under Object > Group. That will keep all of the objects within the logo separate, but will still allow you to move it as one.

If you want to merge all of the overlapping objects in your logo into one, you can use the Pathfinder panel and click the Add to Shape Area icon. It's the first one in the panel.
