select the group of objects you need for the logo and then group the objects
to one (control g). now it's one "object" you can replace or copy itwherever
you want.

I have a logo made up of three paths. A circle outline, then within the circle, I've got a filled triangle shape with a flat base, and the two bottom points of the triangle touching the circle, and a filled ellipse shape to hide the space between the base of the triangle and the edge of the circle. Now I'm trying to make this into one object, so that I can move and resize it at will, whenever I need the logo. I don't want to have to muck around with moving/resizing each path separately. The best way to do this in Illustrator 10 is to make a symbol out of your object. Then you can place as many copies of it as you like and each one can be manipulated as a whole. -- paul asente To reply, make the host be the same as my last name
