Font or Shape????

I been working on our church website and we have two logos. The one logo we decided to basically dump and not going to use it.

OuT: That is the one that I was talking about that could not recreate it. We decided to dump that one but............................................... .........................

We are keeping the I but want it redesigned.

Right now my problem is that I can not determine if the I is a shape or if its a font. I am hoping its a font because I can't figure out how to recreate it by shape.

I can extract the I out and be able to use it for other things and I can basically recreate the entire thing. (don't have original psd file for it)

So I need to find out if this is a font or shape.

Anyone reconize this letter? (no smartasses either. i.e. Its the letter I silly! )


TIA

Karin

You're going to need to attach the image, Neo.

It's most likely a font.

Well, I hope this doesn't throw you for a loop Neo, but the truth is:

Fonts are shapes.

That "i" could be from a font set, but it doesn't matter. No need wasting time trying to find the font set. If you need the "i" extracted from image then the quickest and best way to do that is to trace it with the Pen Tool.

Out is correct (as usual). Trace it and you have it for whatever you want. If it is a font and you could try www.whatthefont.com to see if they could figure it out for you.

And after you trace it with the Pen Tool it becomes a shape. Then you can do whatever you want to do with it.
