A laminated shingle has a rendered shadow design when placed with other
similar shingles on a roof deck. The laminated shingle includes an overlay
member and an underlay member fixedly attached to each other. The overlay
member includes an upper or headlap portion and a lower or exposed butt
portion with one or more tabs separated by cutouts. The underlay member is
coated with a layer of relatively dark granules to form vertically and
horizontally-oriented underlay shading areas. In one embodiment, one or
both vertical edges of at least one tab are generally parallel to the
vertically-oriented longitudinal axis of the vertically-oriented shading
area to expose a portion of the shading area.
