Chris – email me a screen grab with a description of how you did it – maybe I can help. If your original logo (pict w/alpha) is clean, you should be able to get acceptable results using BCC shadow/apply to title matte/field render: quality (not speed).
You could always ask Penny to pay me to do them for you on my xpress-pro 5.1.2HD with mojo 🙂
Hang in there dude…
