Anyway I been experimenting with Gradient Mesh (not to be confused with Gradient Tools) and shadows (again).

I think the Helvetica version is better, Arial is cheap intimidation of Helvetica.
If you thought vector software was hard, try using 3D vector software such as Blender and 3DS MAX, a lot more settings involved. :niark:

I been experimenting with shadows, the one on the left uses "Drop Shadow", the middle uses duplicate outlines with "Gaussian Blur" and on the right same as the middle but demonstrating the extra flexibility that not possible with "Drop Shadow"
Soon as I resize them, on the left the shadow goes out of proportions, while the middle and the right stays in correct proportions. The reason is that "Drop Shadow" goes by pixel which is absolute, "Gaussian Blur" goes by radius which is relative to the outline.

I attached the copy that uses font and not outlines.
The only way to add shadows without duplicating the outlines is the "drop shadow" effect, Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow...

Ubuntu Light
I did try to do it in PT Sans but I found the spacing too narrow, if I widen it, it's won't look like PT Sans at all. :lol:
Have a close look at the top of letter 'd' :D

Sure, "wedge.ai" is the original file (inside the zip).

Thanks. It's was an educated guess. in other threads I heard you talk about the fonts on the Windows 8 touch screen interface and you mentioned Segoe UI Light!
Adobe Illustrator has steep learning curve, one you get used to it, it's actually a very easy drawing tool to use. All it took was two triangles and gradient at different angles and the drop shadow effect for the last 3 letter of wedge.

Paint Shop Pro, well like Adobe Photoshop it's not really suitable for Illustration, it's more suited to photo editing. Use either Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator they are suitable for illustrations including logo creation.
Adobe name convention always implies well to what they do.
Here my remastered attempt of Nao recent work.
Edit: My Attachment got screwed up, didn't preserve the alpha channel.

« on July 30th, 2011, 12:23 PM »Silverlight is windows only iirc. Plus its only purpose is to compete against flash. Meh.

h.264 & lc-aac (mp4), html5, javascript, flash and silverlight are the only solutions that will likely work with most web browser and current & future mobile devices.
There no solution with older mobile devices!

I know Illustrator and I'm having a hard time trying to beat the current one.

Same applies with IIS, URL Rewrite and web.config.
