Hi Guys, I've just watched a very interesting You Tube video on Illustrator in creating a logo that I'm trying to replicate in CorelDRAW but I'm just unable to do so. I was wondering if someone possibly knows how I can achieve the same result from the video, if possible. Cheers all.

I also, as Jeff mentioned, agree it is not a logo but just a design. I would create it more like this...But this is just one of so many ways to create it.
Hi Guys, thanks for all that feedback. Yes, I do watch CorelDRAW videos to practice what I learn. If fact, I subscribe to many graphic design channels for inspiration and technique. This particular channel caught my eye because I loved the sample logos in it and wanted to know how to crate them. Nothing more. I simply thought whatever this guys does in Illustrator I could create in DRAW.
Mike, your example above is what I'm looking for in how to break the shapes apart but this is where I'm stumped. All the trim, weld and other shape options weren't allowing me to break the individual shapes apart. Maybe if someone could point me to a Corel turtorial that shows how this is achieved, that would be great. I've tried Googling and You Tubing this topic for Corel and can't find one anywhere. I'll revists the official handbook to see if that sheds some light. Cheers.

You're not breaking any shapes apart. There isn't any reason to use trim, weld, etc. Smart fill creates individual objects, just as Mike said. You then go on to rearrange them.
Try Myron's suggestion and you'll see what we mean.
Thanks Myron, Silvershoes,
the smart fill tool worked perfect. For some reason after using the Graph Paper and circles last night, the smart fill tool wouldn't work which was why I was confused. Yet tonight it did work. I could then pull the new fills apart and apply gradients using the attributes eye dropper. Fantastic. Really appreciate your help guys.Cheers.
