    @WeathermanSweden - Thank you, André :) And the shadow could be done in CC3...

    @DaishoChikara - Oh that's way over my head. I wouldn't have a clue. You would have to ask PF about that. What I can say is that I asked a related question some time ago about whether we could have a text-related effect that placed a background fill behind the text in a block, but I think the answer was no.

    @Wyvern - I hadn't thought of that, but I think the artwork would be so large as to be extremely unwieldy, not to mention fixed and non-editable. Things are still at the thinking and doodling stage just yet, though, so I will think some more about it.

    @WeathermanSweden - I think that is what Dalton was suggesting above my last comment. I did think about it, but the built in shadows and the sheer number if bits and pieces might make it rather difficult. I think I need to finish the set before I can show you how many that might mean.

    @Quenten - thank you :)

    I thought of that, and then I thought... That means I would have to do a different banner body for each basic style I created, and then a different banner right end for each basic style I created, and then a different left end, and... by the time I finished this set could be about 500-1000 symbols strong. Then at the receiving end you would get a massive jigsaw puzzle where the pieces that you want might not necessarily be right next to each other in the catalogue due to it's sheer size - meaning that you would have to go hunting for the right ends for the body you have chosen. There is also the shadow problem - where you have to place each piece of your chosen banner exactly right on the spot so there are no horrible overlaps/underlaps of the shadow - which is essential to making them pop. (The shadow being built into the symbol).

    Anyone else have any thoughts along these lines?

    I think you may be right, but I don't know. Remy will probably have the answer, maybe? And the small difference may be down to just wanting to have nice round numbers.

    Thank you :)

    I've done a bit more - a few ideas.
