I'm updating our corporate logo in Illustrator (CS3). The logo has an eagle that is made of a metric buttload of paths overlaying one another.

The boss wants me to "curl" the tip of the outstretched wing. How can I do this in Illustrator? Redraw all the paths?

I've tried the warp & twirl tools but they're not getting the effect I need.

Thanks pakimo (and Martrex )

Not doing a page curl. The logo has a eagle with outstretched wings. The bossman wants the wing tip curled inward a little bit. Sample logo:

Working draft (notice difference in the wing):

Note the BOSS (as in the one that signs the paychecks) is insisting on the frigging metallic gold. Not me.

tell your bossman he needs at least a .5 black stroke around those letters.... you cant read it on white BG Customers are always wanting things they shouldn't have.

IKR!?!

This particular version is going over a dark background so it kinda works on there. Actually looks better without any stroke whatsoever on the dark background image it'll be laid over.

Still..... {shudder}


And yes, Tesore, the bird is flipping YOU off.
