How would you draw the MarketPlace Logo?

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

Rik, select the mould, convert to editable shapes, un-group (perhaps un-group again) break shapes

I don't know what I may have been doing wrong?
But, ungroup seems to work without any problems, now.

The original is on the left, and my drawing is on the right.

Apart from the 10 squares on the right (including the ones that seem to be flying off), all the rest were done using the Mould Tool method.
I was quite pleased that the squares that intersect the grey square, are reasonably well positioned.

My late offering:



I have used the Mould Tool as well but failed to count the vertical columns correctly so I had extra squares to delete.

I digressed into creating an entire sphere so I could get the curvature right but it would go round the left corner properly.

Lots of last minute fudging so definitely not as automated as I wanted; I even tried the Xara built-in Tracer :<(

Nicely done, Acorn.

I think I prefer the 'mould' method.
For me, the horizontal and vertical spacing in between all the squares adjust accordingly. If you know what I mean?!
