Hello I did a logo for a client and it was built in illustrator. I took it to photoshop and put a metal silver effect on it that looked great but I need to do it in illustrator because the client decided they want to use the metal look 100% of the time.

Im not GREAT at illustrator yet... I can get by... so any advice or a link to a great tutorial would be very helpful!

Thank you so much!!

    I actually figured out how to do the effect. But I am doing it on text and what really sets the effect off is the bevel and emboss in photoshop is there anything like that in illustrator? CS3

    Well done Scott very clear tutorial, excellent!

    I know you are or were located in or near Seattle, where you raised there as well?

    I am just curious about a very subtle aspect of your speech pattern very that is very engaging!
