Well had a couple of child requirements which slowed me down, ha ha but here it is.

Had a bit of trouble tracking done the fonts but these were pretty close. If you know the proper ones and want them replaced, let me know.

To get a neat design, things like this are better done pretty much from scratch. you can do a trace of the text but it never looks neat. IMO

4R8,

Thanks for the help on that.

What software did you use to do that?

I am seriously looking for the right software to do to conversions with.

Thanks again for the fast response and helping me with that.

I use Inkscape.

FREE, and with a little practice (no more than other programs) you can achieve great results.
I've been using 3D CAD programs since 05, apart from solid works drafting and Auto cad on rare occasions I haven't done any 2d work.
I find Inkscape real easy to use and see what the final product would look like.

I have about half hour in the conversion above (15 - 20 mins of that in looking through Inkscapes font selection) The remaining time, scanned/traced the trees. Then added a fresh circle and baseline. Once i had the letters layed around the circle i noticed the trees were't going to work in their current form so i then adjusted them. Finally combining the lot to one object rather than a selection of multiple objects.

I have the above saved prior to the comining so if any adjustments were wanted/requested it keeps it simple to do without affecting the other components of the design.
