    Thank you very much for the support, but just a couple of things 

    you mentioned create a G shape, it cannot be done with any text ?

    and drop shadow will be done by selecting square or the letter G? 

    I tried it but did not work, sorry I am not illustrator Pro just trying to learn 

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Start with a square, fill with colour (slightly off-white for example). Create the G-Shape and align to the square, use Pathfinder to minus front. you end with a negative shape. goto effect, stylise and choose drop shadow. change settings until you deemed fit. Lastly create clipping path to hide the drop shadow outside the square.
