What's the best way to do these faux-3d extrusions in AI? I usually do a blend, then merge, but then you have to go through each edge and remove all the extraneous points. There's got to be a better way.
Really like this. Only critique would be the 'm' middle part. You might have made it cut that way intentionally but it looks a little angled vs the smooth curves you have in the other letters. http://cl.ly/image/0x2U2m2i2v1m

Awesome! Is there a way to do the flat-shading automatically or do you set the shades there by hand?
