How would you draw the MarketPlace Logo?

Did you try an envelope? Mould Tool.

Two envelopes. One for the front squares and another for the squares on the back of the curve.

Gary,

Yesterday I tried the Mould tool and with some success in the shape of the curve but not maintaining the squares shape. By detaching the Envelope I could get the right curvature fairly close to the example but the squares were stretched to rectangle shapes when using the Mould tool. Not sure how to correct for that.

You might find this of interest Rik, I was messing around with lines and shapes, you know, like one does!
While I'm here I just want to thank all the well wishes I recieved again and infom you all I had the throat tumour removed successfully, just a bit squeeky at the moment.

That's excellent, Stygg.

But, how did you make the first line with all the squares, in the first place?

I think I posted the answer to your question a while back Rik when I first made the Racing Brush but no problem here it is again

All of these would require a lot of tweaking plus being a good designer as well.

In this example I blended 2 curves to make the horizontal spaces, then added vertical lines.

Convert the lines to shapes then added shapes.

Break shapes.

Snap Gary, that's how I did it too

Using the Mould Tool (as Gary suggested), you can get quite a decent result.

But, how do you go about separating all the individual squares?

I tried: Convert to Editable Shapes, then Ungroup. But, that doesn't separate all the squares.
However, you can CTRL+Click to select individual squares. Not ideal, but it does work.
