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
overlay member is also coated with a layer of relatively dark granules to
form horizontally-oriented overlay shading areas on the upper and lower
edges of the tabs. 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
each tab are generally parallel to the vertically-oriented longitudinal
axis of the vertically-oriented shading area to expose a portion of the
shading area.
