candlefish · 09-23-2006

I'm attempting to make three concentric arcs, each one on top of the other at equal distances from each other. My ultimate goal is to make a logo with the letter j, with the three arcs emanating from the dot of the j (to represent sound waves). I started off making an arc with the pen tool, then scaled it larger and copied it. The problem is that each time I scale and copy the arc, the new, larger arc changes shape slightly (not just size) and doesn't match the smaller arc below it (the curve is a bit different). Any help with this would be really appreciated!

(I tried making the arcs in Illustrator but couldn't figure it out, so I've also posted a thread in the Illustrator forum)
