I’ve been using the Amoretype plugin. It’s an easy way to get that type of text effect. It can slow down your renders though.

In the character window you can select all fills over strokes and should get the result you’re looking for.

I’m not sure why those options are not there for you. The other way to add points to a polystar is while you are creating it before you let go of the mouse button you can hit the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the number of points.

You could probably adapt this technique if you have particular.

I have always liked Amortype. It’s any easy way to add a little life to your text.

It doesn’t look like your pictures were attached. It could be that depth of field is turned on in your camera options. This would cause blurring. Also, it’s unclear to me why you’ve auto traced your logo. It is also possible that this is causing your problem. In my experience autotrace can give you rough edges, especially when zoomed in close. If your logo is monochromatic you could copy the paths in Illustrator and paste them on a solid in after effects. This will give you nice smooth vectors.

You might want to check out the Reshape effect here

You would want to use matte instead of a mask. You can get an explanation on how they work Here

It looks to me like it might be a preset called Amortype.

It makes that type of effect very easy

You could try using 3d stroke to make the halo. This would allow you to have a 3d ring with depth. As far as rotation you could put a slight bend in the halo and this would allow you to see the rotation along the same plane as the halo. I’m sure that there are many other ways to do this as well.
