Hi Panko, there's really nothing to importing an .ai file into Wings, if you click in the box next to .ai import in the import menu you can set the number of edge bisections, you'll probably need it quite high to keep the detail in the badge. This is only a guess but try 20 to begin with and adjust the number until you get the result you want. After you've clicked import Wings automaticaly creates the mesh though you may want to tidy it up a bit once it's been created. I think you need to save the .ai as version 7 or earlier, most apps will give you a choice :o) - Baz
