Guessing game

[iamtheblues]

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?

[angelize]

would you be talking about this Bob?

[wizard509]

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. Nice 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.
