Help duplicating a ribbon effect?

[justhost]

Hello guys,

I was asked by a client to clean up their logo. I have posted a copy of the logo. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make the "ribbon" part a little nicer. They do not want to change the logo (not sure why...it needs it) but would like it spruced up. The three things at the bottom are supposed to be waves.

By the way, I did not do the original. Someone in their office did.

Thanks ahead of time.

I would suggest going into the fabric depart at a local store and see what they have for fancy ribbon... Be quicker and alot easier for you.

If it needs to be drawn ahead of time, a nice lace effect around the border would spruce it up. There are several lace brushes in teh shareware section...

I would suggest thinking of the ribbon as 3 separate sections:

1) ribbon across the front
2) ribbon in back
3) the inner flipped section on the right

Create these sections' shapes separately, applying the necessary gradients for the highlights, then group them together.

NOTE: remove the black borders of course. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
