Hi dude..though it is a very simple tutorial its power lies in its simplicity. Indeed by playing a little in this fashion we can create extremely complex good looking designs. I had this idea in my mind since a long but you put it first online…so congrats man and keep it up….thanks for the tutorial….

Luc,

Go to Object > Expand. Then use a gradient fill.

I appreciate the hard work that you put into every single tutorial that you have here. As a professional web designer I love the free brushes as my library can never have enough.

I do think, however, that it would be great to get together with you and build an actual database with the free stuff that you have and allow others to add to it. Make it truly a “bittbox” – kinda like a tool box. Anyways keep it up and if you need any help with anything I am sure that you can enlist more than enough people to help in your quest of blog supremacy (I know that sounds a little over the top – but I was just feeling a little journalistic today.)

Awesome trick. I once figured this out too, and applied it to the Coca Cola logo.
The endresult was amazing, and I just did that without even wanting to do it really.
Same with this tutorial, you show some great other variations. I really like this tut.
Keep up the good work!

BTW: here is the coca cola logo with this trick applied if you want to see it:
