Guessing game

Well, if Rik can do it, so can I.

As you can see, I have a new avatar. Not my own work I hasten to add, but I'm not infringing any copyright and it's pure vector.
I'm not asking what the graphic represents, (ie: not a 3D snowflake, Christmas tree decoration etc).
I had to install something on my pc before I could make the design and the effort that I put into this was absolutely minimal (no skill on my part), except for the black shape behind it. I could have made it any colour(s) I wanted as you can see from the attachment, with very little time and effort.
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what I did?

You mean something like this?

would you be talking about this Bob?

I have no idea how you did that. However it looks like you used various enlarged 2 color fills

Time for more clues.
Everybody is officially "cold" so far.
Attached is something else made in exactly the same way as before.
The two designs share a common theme.
I did not install a program or plugin to make these designs possible.
But I did install something to make both these designs possible.
But it does give Gary the opportunity for another stereogram. :DNice one, Gary.
The new design reminds me of the title sequence to Hitchcock's "North By Northwest" (although there is no significance to this thread).

Possibly you installed a font.. I know how you are a bit of a fontaholic, Bob ;)

Well done to Steve for the correct answer!

The font featured here and another similar 3D Escheresque font are linked to in a new thread here.
