Logo deisgn ?

Magic_x_uk · 10 Aug 2011 at 16:36

How does one go about designing a logo?

I need one doing that just comprises CC

Nothing more, just the letter C twice, CC

Is there programs out there? Or is it just a matter of doing some art work & working from that?

Thanks

How big? What colour? What font?

MS Paint, Paint.net, gimp etc

Limenote · 10 Aug 2011 at 19:02

illustrator or other vector graphics based application for logos, this keeps them scalable.

Right I shall have a look at these things.

As for size, font, colour etc. No idea, want to see what looks good and take it from there.

You need some kind of art direction

get hold of illustrator and a colour wheel, no more than 2 fonts and complimentary if you use more than 1 colour.

You're not going to pay for Illustrator for one logo, go and get Inkscape (free) and design it using that.

Magic_x_uk · 11 Aug 2011 at 12:19

Ok will have a look.

Dont want anything fancy. Just CC made pretty, be it inside each other, next to each other, side by side.

Who knows.

Paul11 · 11 Aug 2011 at 12:22

surely someone on the forums would be nice enough to do it for you

ill do it tomorrow when i get back to my computer with photoshop, if no one else has done it by then

Something like this maybe?

or this...

Magic_x_uk · 11 Aug 2011 at 18:54

Wow, there pretty darn good. I like those.

What software do you use?

i am impressed.

ksimm · 11 Aug 2011 at 19:33

Adobe Illustrator, if you want I can upload / email the main files for you to play around with. As they are made of vectors they can be enlarged without losing quality.

Magic_x_uk · 11 Aug 2011 at 19:49

Sure. thank you. I believe my email is in my trust (click my name on left)

ksimm · 11 Aug 2011 at 22:26

Emailed, have fun.

Had a think about this.

I am now thinking something along the lines of the word Chesterfield but utilizing the letter 'i' in Chesterfield with somehow getting the shape of our local church's crooked spire into it.

Anyone fancy having a stab at this.

I attach a photo, but you can easily find plenty on line. "Chesterfield crooked spire"

what do you think?

Give inkscape a try too

Is it going on a website? Do you prefer the idea of a top left lind of logo or a slim, all the way across logo?

_Gizka_ · 7 Sep 2011 at 18:45

Just had a really quick go at something, might have some legs in it.

or

Edit: The usage of the crooked "I" in Chesterfield could be really good but choosing a good typography will be the hard part!

Yes in time it will go onto a website, business cards etc.

I am thinking the word chesterfield nicely designed but with the letter 'i' made to look like a twisted spire. If you get my drift.
