    Hello,
    I’m basically looking to find out how you would put a light, or a “glisten” around a logo edge. or around any kind of elements edges.
    Sort of like the ESPN logo. After it flies on it looks like it has some light going around the edges.

    And is there way to achieve this without the use of Zaxwerks or any other 3D program?

    Thanks so much in advance

    Use the alpha channel for glows or light rays. If you have a vector file paste as mask and use something like vegas or stroke.

    Think about what it would look like if you shot it and how the light would move.
