“Customers are always asking us for more WHAMs, BAMs, and POWs,” says Mike Swanson, Founder of Juicy Bits. “So, we worked with well-known industry professionals, Blambot, to create a set of over 50 shapes that are included in the new Action Pack. Each shape is rendered using our custom vector-based graphics pipeline, so the final output looks fantastic at any size. We hope that our customers love them.”
