Your Logo Ready Anytime

Here's a simple way to have your logo (or any other art you need) readily available in every new document you create. Open either the CMYK or RGB Adobe Illustrator Startup file (found in Illustrator CS2>Plug-ins) and paste your logo into that document. Select your logo (if it has text, you'll have to create an outline by going to Type>Create Outlines) and from the Brushes palette (under the Window menu) click on the New Brush icon. Choose New Art Brush as the type of brush and in the Art Brush Options dialog, click on the second Direction symbol so the arrow displays from left to right. Name your brush and click OK. Delete the artwork and save the document. From then on, you'll be able to click-and-drag the logo from the Brushes palette onto any new document.
