Orbs without the shading are just circles....you could use the built in "shapes" under embedded fonts and color them or you could use shape dingbats or a dingbat called 52 spheroids for orbs with different textures or different shading patterns. Dingbats work like text fonts and all the effects you can do to a font you can do to a dingbat. As for swooshes just look for one that has no shading and just colorize it for a plain swoosh.
thanks dumpcable.com I have the TLC 3.5 and trying to find "shapes" under embeded fonts but no luck. I look under file, modify and windows and cant find them. Do I need to get the other version of TLC?
Logan, the shapes under embedded fonts has been apart of TLC for a long time... check out http://www.thelogocreator.com/Tutorials/shapes/shapesFont.html . BTW you should do the upgrade to the 3.6.1 version.
