Thanks tbone and LD :) . Yes, I am unhappy with that. Used pen tool to draw over a official logo; I am very bad in using the pen tool. (Need Nick's advice).

why did you use the pen tool for a circle ? woudnt it been better if you would use marquie tool ?

I think you've done a nice job pal. Unfortunately it looks like you've used PS for the whole design.
I would have gone the vector route and used CorelDraw. But there's a nice quick and easy PS tutorial to make the wordpress logo over here if you want to give it a go how to make a wordpress logo
I don't know if you use Corel but if you would like me to make a CorelDraw tutorial to achieve the same results just let me know.

Thanks mate You are right, it 100% PS.

I nearly never used CorelDraw. But I can download and use to see how I can use it (I guess it gives 30 days trial). It will my pleasure if you can make a tutorial; please do only when you have time in hand :)

Fantastic tutorial :) It is something close what was in my imagination. But shortened the steps a bit for the circle parts, I dont know if its "against the rule". I made one, copied twice; made outer and inner slanted circles from it (stacked it below the ring facing us). I was not aware of this site; thank you very much for the link :)

Okidoki as promised (with a bit of audio backing in so you don't get bored to tears at watching the mouse wizzing around) ... enjoy

It's 20 min long in three parts (best viewed full screen 480p)

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


soz if I go a bit quick in places but I wanted to keep it as short as possible

CorelDraw file zipped below :)

Great tutorial again, Nick
