Hi all, I am trying to figure how to get a few sparkles on my Logo. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your time,

Depends on if your text is to sparkle as is (static) or is to be animated.

If animated, one only needs to change position and frequency to achieve a sparkle effect.

I gave the sparkle thing a try but when I export it does not look as nice as the original, kinda of blurred. Whats the best method for exporting to make it look like the original?

Maybe this will help Sparkle GEL Guest Tutorial.

As for getting your exported image to look as good as what you see on the screen, work at 1:1 (100% Zoom). Then what you see should be pretty much what you get on export.

Or you could make them from the quick shapes star if you want bigger sparkles.

as far as i know to export like what you see you need to select options and then adjust the quality of the output. well thats what i have to do anyway.
