Propz.

I do alot more in depth anchor edits to change trajectory and size of curves, which can greatly reduce anchor amounts (rather than the ctrl-clicking), and I think Foster does too. That said, it's still a very good tutorial for people who have no clue what to do with the pen tool.

The fading effect was amazing, however, definitely going to do some logo work with that new knowledge, even though Illustrator's pen tool is 10x different than PS's.
