Hello:
Congratulations! Every creation is welcome!
Critic: I think that you should explain your method. Not necesarily using your voice, but some caption, or with some text in the canvas. I know it's possible to pause and rewind the video. But sometimes it can be anoying, and time consuming.

I tried to build the geometry of the Chrome logo using other method of myself, butI found some problems and errors using the boolean operations and the snaping. Did you find something like that in your method?
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:

Thanks you, I might add annotations via youtube.

No, I didn't found problems using boolean operations in my method. How did you try to do it?

Let me try to remember:

I used de main circle center as a pivot. :tool_ellipse: I put a line in a line path :tool_pen: in the top quadrant, using snaping. Then duplicate and rotated the circle to 30 degrees, with the created line. That gives you lines tangent to the circle After that, just create a closed path snaping to the lines . Then use that path to do a intersection to the circle. That gives you the first arc, Then just rotate that arc and align. But the boolean operation, or just because the wide of the stroke, or I missed something, but the created arc, when zooming, didn't seem correct, lost tangency, etc.

Sharing information: I've created some tutorials or workarounds myself, which you can see in this sub-forum.
