SalemWitchChild Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I made a new logo for my blog. What do you think? Link to comment
Dorian Gray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Overall good design. Looks like the "L" in Life is a bit cut off and it appears to need some "clean up" in the white areas, but good none the less. Link to comment

Dorian Gray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 While the background is transparent, there is still some "specks" between the verbage and the logo itself. Its not uncommon when cobbling a new logo together from several existing pieces of artwork. The transparency tools and magic wand tools work great most of the time, but they arent perfect.

Hyper Real Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) I made a new logo for my blog. What do you think?Basically I agree with Dorian Gray' comments.Also I feel the text is not perfectly round.An alternative for perfectly round would be to use a very Mexican hat shape for the text.

Best I could get it. Link to comment
Dorian Gray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 what application are you using to edit your images? Photoshop has a tool call "text warp" and most graphics programs have some method to automagically do it. Link to comment
Hyper Real Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 yeah I know curving that text was a bitch though. Best I could get it.How did you do it?Even tools like Microsoft Powerpoint has curving options. Link to comment
Raincloud Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Wow, that is a really good design!!Blessed Be! Link to comment
SalemWitchChild Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 what application are you using to edit your images?

Dorian Gray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 By not pieced together, are you saying that you digitally drew each and every element in that logo from digital scratch? I have seen the majority of those elements in other digital artwork. Link to comment
AbreactiveMinisterJoe Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I used gimp. Its not peiced together. You have to use the pathways tool.IIRC one of the "script foo" wizards that accompanies the GIMP creates circle text both nicely and relatively painlessly. Link to comment

I have seen the majority of those elements in other digital artwork.By not pieced together I mean the text isn't. And yes I used that tutorial plus one other to do the curve of the text. The pentacle is free png images used together. So I suppose that is peiced together. But the text was done with the method shown in the video you linked.IIRC one of the "script foo" wizards that accompanies the GIMP creates circle text both nicely and relatively painlessly.Do you know the name of it or have a tutorial? Because when I searched how to do it all tutorials showed me to use pathways. Link to comment
Dorian Gray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 did you tryFile->Create->Logos->Text Cirle in GIMP? Link to comment
SalemWitchChild Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 did you tryFile->Create->Logos->Text Cirle in GIMP?Nope. See I tried to find something like that but the tutorials only showed the pathways. Link to comment
SalemWitchChild Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Nope. See I tried to find something like that but the tutorials only showed the pathways.Ok Hows this? Link to comment
Dorian Gray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Text is better, but there still needs to be some clean up around the upper portion of the braided circle. Link to comment
