682 Drawing a Wi-Fi symbol in Illustrator

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now last week, we created this wild optical illusion…inside Illustrator that features all these devices…competing for our attention, that are communicating…with each other wirelessly via these tiny wifi…and Bluetooth icons.…And so I thought this week I'd follow up by showing you…how to create one possible wifi symbol.…And I say, one possible because there is no standard.…There is an official wifi logo that…looks something like this.…This is a knock off that I found online.…

But, honestly, who cares?…I'm not sure there's anybody who looks at this…and says, oh yeah, a rounded rectangle plus…two teardrops, equals wireless connectivity.…We want something like this right here.…Now, not to get too nerdy on you, but this is…the symbol that's featured on iDevices, such as…iPhones and iPads.…And you can see, we've got a central circle that's masked,…along with two arching bars, whereas if you're…working on a Mac, you get three arching bars.…But there's all kinds of other alternatives.…
