A client (who is also a friend) asked if I could make his logo in gold. This is what I did...

He sent me a logo with a white bounding box around his logo. Plus, the image was pitifully small (about 400 x 400 px).

First, I put the image through Vector Magic and was able to produce a SPECTACULAR image, from which I used my trusty gold fill that I like a lot. And tadaa!
