Can someone figure it out?

Hi,
I was surfing the macromeda.com, then I realised the [url]www.hostmysite.com[/url]. The logo made me to thing. If I try to draw it fw, can I figure it out. Then I got the answer..."NO". Now I wonder if can anyone could draw it? How do they do?
I am learning fw, and as an exercise trying to draw things and see if I can make them similar:)) If you explain, you'll really make me happy.

It's not hard. You just have to play with Fireworks every day, many
hours. Find out things for yourself. I'm still finding new things every
day. Sometimes these include things that nobosy else has done before.

Remember, not every tool in Fireworks HAS TO be used for the way it was
intended to be used. Use you imagination!

The logo made me to thing. If I try to draw it fw, can I figure it out. Then
I got the answer..."NO". Now I wonder if can anyone could draw it? How do
they do?

I guess all you need is "Ellipse" tool (plus some rotation for some
ellipses), then Modify -> Combine Paths -> Punch being used on several
ellipses. Then similar thing with ellipse and big "H". Then playing with
fills, strokes, bevels and dropshadows. I don't see anything in this logo
that can't be done with FW. Besides, it doesn't even take any drawing skills
:-))) All you need is that "Combine Paths" menu section (quite a powerful
weapon, check them out and see how they work) plus fills and effects.
