Hi all,

I am trying to recreate this shape as I don't think it is an actual font. Does anyone have any ideas to the easiest way?

Thanks

1. Open the image
2. Double click the locked background layer to convert it to a regular layer
3. Activate the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar, set tolerance to 32, uncheck "contiguous". Left click on the white background and hit delete on the keyboard.
4. Press CTRL+D to get rid of the "marching ants" outline.
5. This will leave you with the shape surrounded by transparency. You can fill this with color or
6. anything that you desire.
7. You can save the shape for subsequent use in TIFF file format

I suppose the easiest way would be to select the shape with the magic wand, save the selection, copy it on a new layer (shortcut Ctrl J). You keep only that layer and save in psd format. To use it in another file, you could place that layer on your new file and resize and move it where you want.

What app is this best done in? Photoshop or Illustrator?

This can be done in Photoshop Elements. The directions which I posted for your purpose apply.

If you have full Photoshop, that is good, but if you need to purchase it for this finite task, consider the cost.

I have no experience with Illustrator.
