Blatent thieving of thread idea ~ logos

Summerleft · 11-11-2007, 12:02

Although I was advised to start my own thread I wonder if this one could be for anyone wanting thier logo played with?

But me first! lol

anyway so far this is mine not very interesting but I want simple lol

I find the camera icon a little blocky with that amount of black and I'm unsure as to nature of the black dot, top right

The text is nice and straightforward but could probably do with a tweak - maybe introduce anonther colour or do something with the "IS"

The black dot represents the fastener bit that you attach the strap to.

Ahh, OK! I'd make it a ring (but I'd probably leave it out anyway!

)

Ok well here's a quick attempt, I tried to integrate your camera logo with the text a bit more while still keeping things simple as you requested.

...I'm just not sure if the shape still resembles a camera enough now that I've removed part of it to make way for the text.

ooo I like that, what prog did you do that in?

**Sonsey** · 11-11-2007, 14:36

About 5 minutes in Photoshop

Started a new project with a white background,
Added your logo as a new layer,
Cut out a bit of the logo to make room for text,
Added "IS" text in white then moved it into the logo,
Added "PHOTOGRAPHY" text in black and in a slightly smaller size then moved it into the logo,
Added a drop shadow to "PHOTOGRAPHY" text,
Merged layers and saved,
Done!.

Lol, your very welcome... have a play around with it yourself and no doubt you'll come up with something better, it's amazing what you stumble across sometimes when trying out the various filters and effects!

True, Ive added a black border but only for my website it gives it a nice 3D effect,going to have a bit more of a play.

This is why I gave up web design lol

stupot · 11-11-2007, 14:54

Me likes that too, i've had a play and cant really get anything going

me creative juices just aren't flowing

Summerleft · 11-11-2007, 15:09

OK got this so far, the border wont be on normally as said but it blends in nicely on the website

I like that, nice and simple, professional looking. The 3d + shadow text give it a bit of depth.

Two comments, the camera part should perhaps have a shadow too, not entirely sure but doesn't seem quite right to have a shadow on one element but not on the other.

And, if you squint a bit I think it looks kinda like a guitar, used small, or glanced at briefly that may be the first impression.

cheers

Dan
