European Cup 2008 Country-Flag Visio Shapes
Well Visio Fans, June is upon us, the weather is hot, and the UEFA European Cup 2008 is about to start!
Europe is going soccer crazy, and signs of Fußball-mania are everywhere! As I walk around Vienna, it’s pretty hard not to notice these 
waving from store-fronts and car windows.
Of course Visio Guy wanted to get in on the football action, so we’ve drummed up some rabble-rousing, chest-pounding Visio shapes to fan the flames of nationalistic fervor!

Apple iPhone Network Shape
I know, I know, you’re probably thinking what I’m thinking: I’m just not cool enough to be a Mac person…
But that doesn’t mean we have to go without!
Yup! It’s time for another overdrawn Visio Network shape, like the Logitech VX Revolution Mouse Shape, the Thinkpad Network Shape. or the USB Stick Shape.
Since it’s Easter Sunday, and things are slow around here, I was in the mood to create something pretty. And of all the new gadgets on the market, few are prettier than the sensational Apple iPhone and the Apple iPod Touch.
So for you Apple fans who still use PCs, and for you die-hard Windows fans who appreciate a bit of sarcasm, please enjoy the Apple iPhone Visio Network Shape.
<haha> And NO, there won’t be a Mac Version of this shape… </haha>
How to Draw Glass in Visio
Today we’re going create a glass effect, using basic end-user features of Visio.
With a few simple techniques, you’ll be able to add pizzazz to your elevation drawings of windows, cabinetry, video monitors, rack-systems.
Now, maybe you’re thinking; Visio is not Adobe Illustrator, and Visio diagrams are supposed to be simple, boring, and utilitarian. A quick glance at this site might bring you to question that notion.
But don’t just take our word for it…
Update: You can now download a Visio drawing with samples shapes at the end of this article
Off-center Radial Fill Effect
You may have noticed cool-looking, shiny ball shapes that pop-up now and again on Visio Guy. They have an attractive offset-radial fill effect, like the balls in the image on the left.
If you’ve played with Visio’s Fill Format dialog, you’ll know that good ol’ Fill Pattern Number 40 will give you a nice-looking radial fill, but there doesn’t seem to be a setting for getting it to be off-center. Well (once again) Visio Guy is here to show you how to work some black magic!
