How to create a starburst in Inkscape

root's picture

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

For this site I wanted to create a nice little badge to advertise the fact that we offer free quotes. I thought of all the software that I could use including Corel, but I was feeling adventurous and decided to try to do it in Inkscape, and I must say I am pretty impressed with how well Inkscape works from a graphic illustrator's point of view. In many ways Inkscape seems ideal for web graphics considering it uses a version of SVG to store the file. Granted the SVG might not work 100% with standard SVG used in browsers, it is still impressive as its an open format.

Anyhow, I thought I would share the results of my work, these are in Inkscape SVG format. It was created with Inkscape .46 in Linux in case you are wondering.
