I am trying to recreate this logo and I'm just not sure how to make the flourishes behind the scale.

I realize I can make a single spline of each element and align, distribute then perspective, but I'm wondering if there is some sort of math filter that could do this easier.
I'd like to make it a path if possible for future scaling, but I know gimp better than Inkscape and figured I'd try here first.

You could try Ofnuts Path-inbetweener script to make them.

I made this using it...

That was fast. I get the feeling it won't go as quick for me, but that's perfect.
TYVM! :tyspin

No problem.

If you're any good at working with paths,
it should be a breeze for you.

Of course you were right again, and I thought the scale was going to be the easy part! :D

P.S. Almost forgot. I wanted to thank you again as well as ofnuts. Luckily I already had it installed.
I have all his plugins but it's so hard to keep track of all the scripts and plugins. Cheers!
