Check the End profile is the same as the start profile checkbox and then press the Next button.
Because we are not using Z modulation in this simple model, ignore it and just press the Next button.

Things to try:
Try using Greyscale from Relief in the Model menu so that you can see the 3D model in the 2D view. Now add another vector to create a raised area for your crest and use Merge high to blend it into the frame. You could use Wrap Vector to lay a text based logo over the crest area and then use the Shape Editor to raise (or lower!) the text logo.
