This is the second CorelDRAW tutorial in a series of four. Last week we looked at how to
make a Polaroid-like image, and this week I'd like to show you how to vectorize a simple logo. I use the Android logo in the video, but you can do this with pretty much any logo other simple graphic.

Sacks took me up on it, bringing his own user survey, a funny video aimed at today's Chatter launch, and some fighting words. All are below.
