    Thanks, Larry. I like the nice shiny one (S-4).
    Here's mine - S is for Shabby.

    Thank you Bob and Stygg, they look great. Mine look so lack luster in comparison to what you guys are doing.
    @Bob. I think you should also post the scribble S here as well.

    Here is one I made using just a custom made halftone brush.
    I drew the "S" using the Freehand and Brush Tool and modified it into something resembling an "S" using the Shape Tool.
    (it looks a lot better at full size)

    Thanks Bob. Glad you posted the scribble here. Your half tone looks great too, yes it does look better at a large size, and, that IMHO is a problem only because when reduced to a usable size much is no longer visable. I know they can be used very large but I tend to think of their use as being small. Mine suffer from the same problem.

    Here's another one made from this months scribble Larry. Just squashed and rotated, thick line width, change line to shape, apply a bevel.
