1. Create a new document
Ctrl-N to create a new document.
2. Create a background and save the pattern brush
Step 1
Select the Rectangle Tool (M) and focus on the toolbar. Remove the color from the Stroke, then select Fill and set its color to R = 43 G = 59 B = 84.
Move over to the artboard and simply create an 860px square. Make sure it covers the entire artboard, then move to the Layers panel (Window > Layers). Expand an existing layer and simply lock the shape to make sure you don't accidentally select/move it.
Step 2
Return to the toolbar and replace the existing fill color with white. Make sure the Rectangle Tool (M) is still active and create a 15 x 10 px shape. Focus on the bottom of this new rectangle and switch to the Direct Selection tool (A). Select the two anchor points and drag them 10 px to the right.
Make sure the white shape remains selected, and then go to Effects>Stylize, > Rounded Corners. Enter a 5 px radius and click OK. Open the Brushes panel (Window > Brushes), and then click New Brush. Select the Pattern Brush box, and then click OK to open the Pattern Brush Options window. Enter all the properties shown in the following image, and then click the OK button to create your own pattern brush.
3. Create three concentric circles
Step 1
Select the Ellipse Tool (L) and create a 320 px circle. Make sure it remains selected, and then focus on the appearance panel. Make sure you don't set a color for Fill, then select Stroke and apply a pattern brush from the Brushes panel.
Next, you need to determine the center of the circle. Open the Align panel (Window > Align), and then select Snap to Artboard. If you don't have permission to use the Align to menu, open the pop-up menu from the Align panel and go to Show Options. Now, make sure your circle is still selected, and then just click on the "Align Center Horizontally" and "Align Center Vertically" buttons. This will immediately move your circle to the center of the artboard.
Step 2
Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to create a 300 pixel circle and center it. Select the new shape, and then focus on the appearance panel.
Make sure that you don't set a color for Fill, and then select Stroke. Set its color to white (R = 255 G = 255 B = 255) and click on that Stroke text to open the Stroke flyout panel. Set the Weight to 5 px, and then select the Align Strokes to Interior button.
Step 3
Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to create a 280px circle and center it. Select the new shape, and then focus on the appearance panel.
Make sure that you don't set a color for Fill, and then select Stroke. Set its color to white (R = 255 G = 255 B = 255), increase the Weight to 30 px, and don't forget to check the Align Strokes to Interior button.
4. Add text and mask shapes
Step 1
Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to create a 240px circle, fill it with a random color and center it. Make sure the new shape remains selected, select Type on the Path Tool, and then open the Character panel (Window> Type> Character).
Select the Rockwell Extra Bold font and set the size to 15 px and the trace to 500. Just click on the edge of the selected circle and add text. Set its color to black (R = 0 G = 0 B = 0) and switch to the Direct Selection tool (A). Drag the text with the center bracket, as shown in the second image.
Step 2
Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to create a 260px circle, fill it with a random color and center it. Make sure the new shape remains selected, and then reselect Type on the Path Tool.
Go back to the Character panel and increase the font size to 16 px. Again, click on the edge of the selected circle and add text. Make sure the color is set to black (R = 0 G = 0 B = 0) and switch to the Direct Selection tool (A). Move the center bracket to the inside of the circle, which will also make the text on the inside. Drag the text in question, as shown in the second image.
Step 3
Select two texts and group them (Ctrl-G). Select the group, as well as the 280 px circle, open the Transparency panel (Window > Transparency), and click the Create Mask button. Uncheck the box and things will look like a third image.
Step 4
Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to create a 210 pixel circle and center it. Select the new shape, and then focus on the appearance panel.
