    I just played around with the logo for 20 minutes before heading to bed. It doesn't look really sparklish at all but its still an interesting effect.
    I haven't finished the 'spark'-bubbles in Xara which I used as several layers as a textures on the logo. They look more like bloodcells than anything. Oh well, at least it was fun

    Can you see sparkles on stripes?
    I made them with my SPRAY utility. It was intended for such work.

    "Intbel" ... "Can't" is not an option.

    Compliance is futile. Resistance is futile. Just do your own thing an' ignore 'em.

    Here is a variation where I'm trying to create a bigger sparkley look rather than a glitter-sparkle effect.
    I made a quickshapes star >duplicated it many times>grouped> created a bitmap copy> then filled the cloned copy of the text with the bitmap.

    Here is a technique I use, I found some metal flake paint chips, I copy paste, group and scale the chip until I have enough to cover my text. Then I use the arrange / combine shapes / slice shapes to cut the chip.

    Hi Andy,
    I have seen your "bigger" image on http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...t=sparkle+text but I don't seem to be able to find out how to add the sparkle / stars in Xara Xtreme - the text is OK, but I would appreciate your help with this final step, as the image you have produced is really good.
    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Best regards,
    Colin
