    Default how to get your daily dose

    Hello all,
    Can you make the image attached below,
    within the limits specified?
    If so, show us how you did it.
    Use any vector application.
    Mine was made with Xara Xtreme Pro 3.0
    I'll post my solution in a week (4th September 07)
    unless anyone needs any longer to think about it.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    It's all in the bevel settings. One line, one bevel, one text, and one drop-shadow. Not an exact replica of the original, but close enough.
