Create a Custom Shape - MS-Excel Tutorial
Create a Custom Shape
you can build any shape by using the Freeform line tools in the Shapes gallery.
After you create a shape, you can add 3-D effects, glow, and so on to make a cool-looking version of your company logo.
To create a custom shape, you follow these steps:
- Insert a picture of the shape that you can use as a guide to trace.
- From the Insert ribbon, choose the Shapes drop-down. In the Lines section, the last two shapes are Freeform and Scribble. Select the FreeForm shape.
- Click one corner of your logo.
- Move the mouse to the adjacent corner of the logo and click again.
- Repeat step 4 for each corner. If your logo has a curve, click several times around the perimeter of the curve. The more often you click, the better the curve will be.
- When you arrive back at the original corner, click one final time to close the shape and complete the drawing.
- Use the effect and fill settings to color and stylize the logo.
