How to turn this into a custom shape

Hi

Would it be possible to turn this http://www.omegadm.co.uk/Untitled-4.gif image into a custom shape.

I have tried selecting it and turning it into a work path, but this comes out very jaggy.

I have tried to to trace around the middle symbols but my pen tool skills are not very good.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would stick with just trying to go over it with the pen tool
but as for the circle part you might find it easier to make a blue circle then make a smaller white circle, make sure you don't make the white circle (inside) over top of the blue one! move it later.

My good deed gift for the day:

Mumford Logo Custom Shape ("mumfordlogo.csh")

Thanks utopian23........

please could you tell me how you did it I have been trying to do it for ages.

Would really be of help

Thanks again

What part don't you get?

I used Illustrator to create the paths (I like the tools better).

Then, imported the paths into Photoshop as a Shape Layer and "Defined Custom Shape..."

Then saved it out on its own using the Presets Manager.

it's the paths bit, i wouldn't know where to put the points to make the three shapes in the middle.

Would you mind showing me how you did this bit

I do have illustrator

thanks again!

There are tutorials availble, Mumford, for using the Pen Tools. I'm sure, if you're trying to learn them you've run across a few.

I don't have any links handy, so you'll have to do your own legwork on this one. Then it's just a matter of practice, practice, practice.

oh well...thanks anyway

heres what i have got so far from reading a few tuts.
