Where can I get this Shape

[SAR.Summerlin]

So I guess since it is Monday I am fumbling but I have spent the last hour trying to draw this simple shape (my pen tool must be mad at me) because I don't have it in Flexi does anyone know if there is somewhere I can just get this shape or what it is called so I can search for it.

It's a sign shape.
There are a lot of these sign blank shapes available online as vector art.
Or just draw a rectangle, overlap an oval, weld, then node edit.

Need to either get friendly with beziers, or do like I did and draw a square, then a circle, combine them and delete 2 nodes.

4 variations attached.

Thanks folks I think I am just having a Monday. Didn't even think of the rectangle square thing.

A designer I'm not!

How would you create the same shape smaller to use inside that sign as a rule running around the whole thing? When you do a basic scaling, it changes the aspect.

an offset path or contour depending on what software you use.

Oh come on, do we need someone to draw circles too? Wheres our resident circle designer at?

Gee thanks sideburns.

Thanks Doc for the helpful response

+1 draw shape and offset path
you can also obtain the same effect by adding a stroke to the original shape, outlining it, and then deleting one of the two shapes created by the stroke.

simple vectorization, but you're not alone. I have to train every designer that comes through our shop that just simply copying a rounded rectangle and enlarging it behind the original shape will not maintain a matching radius.

Look under the shape options

Thanks everyone. Offset path is the answer. Working in Illustrator

You do have that in Flexisign.
