aLTRe-eGo does them mostly from scratch my friend. :)

I also try to find the original font to create them from! Fonts are vector -so it makes it a lot easier if font is available, if not, then I find the biggest picture I can find and overlap that with paths (vector based lines).

yeah, finding the fonts are nice. but i find that most people don't find the correct one and just settle with something similar. A lot of your titles are available from the websites, so I assumed you were extracting them.

If you are drawing vectors, do you use a graphics tablet? I also occasionally find large images and try to trace them out by hand, but with a mouse it can be a pain. I didn't know if graphics tablets worked with corel draw or if they were worth the investment.

nah, just a lot of guides and straight lines and bend the tabes to get the curves I want.

This is very cool indeed, messing around with this you can export non-vector images too from flash, save as .png for a color image, transparent background, (obviously low res), great tutorial ST, many thanks for taking the time :D

Had a chance now to have a very little play, following the tutorial of course, and I have to say a great many thanks to you Supreme Taco, looks like it will be fun to learn this as well as being a fantastic resource. Indeed you are Supreme :)
