Then you need to create another logo on top of it the size you want the hole to be - it often helps to set this to another colour. </p> <p>Select both ovals and then go to the pathfinder palette. (On the same palette as align and distribute <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/wink.png" title="Wink" alt="Wink" class="smiley-content" /> ) If you can't see this, go to Window and select pathfinder. </p> <p>Then, select the subtract tool in Pathfinder. This punches out a hole the size of the top oval into the bottom oval.</p> <p>One final thing - if you're trying to edit it and you have Illustrator CS2, it has a tool called live trace which will take a bitmap and vectorise it automatically. It's much quicker than tracing. Just a thought.</p> <p>Blessings,<br /> David</p> Sun, 29 Jan 2006 07:42:07 +0000 02bunced comment 1191963 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-design-and-graphics/create-illustrator#comment-1191932 <p>Not too sure about Illistrator, but, most vector programs have a "punch" method. Try using that.</p> Sun, 29 Jan 2006 04:43:17 +0000 Renegade comment 1191932 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
