Photoshop :: Logo Design Using Picture And Custom Font
Mar 21, 2006
I want to create a logo. The word I am creating is going to be Foxx. I want the backside of the F to have a fox's head coming out of it. I want the appearance of the Fox's had to be growing from the back side of the F. I am capable of pulling this off. I am more interested in the techniques that some of you would use to acheive this task.
1.What I would do is find a picture of a fox's face in this case a profile shot.
2.I'd then import that pic and extract the head from the fox (only in the picture PETA )
3.I'd then use my combination of the pen tool, shape tool, and direct selection tool to trace the fox's face.
4.Finally I'd design the F to match the fox's face.
I've just taken two decals off my mountain bike, not realizing that the frame had a lacquer coating on top of them. In case you're wondering why I did one and was then stupid enough to repeat my mistake, its one on either side of the frame .
I'm now been left with a large mark were there is no lacquer on either side. I've asked around and found that it can't be neatly covered without a complete respray. I have, however, found a local company who can make custom decals to put over it if I provide them with a design. So I've obtained a copy of Photoshop CS3 and tried to make my name in a similar font to the large manufacturer decal (which is still on the frame). I'm trying to get Chris on one side and Walker on the other with the same dimensions.
I had posted in another thread about wanting to clean up a signature and make it look more font like. I tried that and it seemed to be pretty difficult due to the amount of random in a hand written signature.
So I think I'd like to approach this from the other direction. I have a font I like but I don't want it to look like the font (way too common). Is there a way to alter the font (not the entire font set or even to create a new font but just for a one word Logo)?
I'd ideally like to connect two of the letters and also modify the shapes of the letters just a bit.
I just designed this logo for an all-female gaming clan called "Femme Fearless".
She wanted to be "bad ass" but still "inviting". She also wanted some kind of icon to represent girl gamers, so this is what I came up with and I would really love your feedback.
Im trying to design a logo. Im using a font called fontvission, and I down loaded it from a site that has free font downloads.
When I use the font in PS cs2 its lines dont look clear, there some what pixal looking. I was wondering if any one new how to make the lines crisp. I have it set on 1000-800 pixals, 120pt font.
Well I made a logo for my website and I actually like it but the font used for "Inovative-Scripts" doesn't really fit with the rest of the website.
It's a little PHP Company website (u know just for pocketmoney) together with a friend so it has to be kinda serious...the font is too comic like...
Does anyone have an Idea what font I could use...I've been lookin around for ages and I havn't found anythin that looks ok. I found this image on another website and I like the font...but I don't the name of the font.
I'm goin to design an new logo for my team an was wondering how i can make a logo like this one: i guess that there's no particular font for this. (especially the fat line under the text).
I downloaded the trial of Illustrator but can't figure out the that process either.
Here's my problem: There is this font, Alberto Heavy Hollow, and I want to put it into Photoshop, alter it a bit, and then simply give the new font a black outline and 1 color fill. After that, I can include the colored name in my logo design.
I have tried converting it to paths, outline stroke, then sometimes when I want to do something to the font, under the "Object" selection, the thing I want to do is not activated in bold type.
The Logo below uses a font that is only 2px thick. This one has 2 x 2px lines, how was this done? How was the second 2px line added? Illustrator or PS?
I've created a logo, and I'd like to use it in some PDF documents. I've tried several different methods for converting it into an image, but the image quality really degrades when I do. Maybe I'm expecting too much - since the vector image is essentially perfect - but it seems like there should be a way to come up with a decent looking image. Is there a "best practice" for this process?
the above the influence logo on a picture of one my friends who is not above the influence and put it on facebook, i just want the logo and text to go on the picture.
I am trying to make a logo button for my site, but unfortunately I have no idea what font to use for the logos. I have attached some examples and was hoping that I could get some help.
I am having trouble importing a picture into the logo document I am working on. I am designing a logo for a roofing co. and following a logo tutorial on garysimon.net website on 'how to make an awesome logo' using photoshop cs2, but when I follow his steps for importing a picture into the logo document that I am working on, it will import it to a new document screen. From what I can tell by reading his tutorial, it should import it into the same document screen that I already have the company name on so I can create layers and work on the one screen.
When I am designing a picture in Photoshop Elements 10, what I design on the screen doesn't print out the same way. The printed version is slightly cutting off around all edges. I have only started encountering this problem a couple of months ago. It's very frustrating. I know it's not a driver issue and I am formatting the same way and using the same printing methods as I always have.
I am building a site for a client, and as such they employed the services of a graphic designer to design a company logo. Well the client has chosen one of the logos but the colors do not fit in as well with the sit layout as one would desire. I approached the graphic designer to request changes for the client, but they sent me the files and said I can modify them in Photoshop.
The trouble is, I don't use PS. How to make the appropriate changes using Xara? I did try to highlight the text but I think it may all be part of an object with the razor. I wanted to convert the larger text to white and export everything from a dark background so it doesn't have the white jagged edge you would see from a white background.
I have a script font that i need to resize. Most all the font is 144pt one of the letters needs to be 96pt. When i move just this one letter down in size the stroke on that letter looks puny and noticeably smaller.
I need a good way of maintaining the stroke thickness and moving the height and wide down to 96pt.
How to design an avatar picture? I play a game, and they are going to have an avatar dress up contest soon...I'm trying to make it a Saint Patty's Day theme....
I have this text on a notepad and I want to make the same design in Corel Draw X6.
I have a few question. Which is the font used there? I tried looking through all the fonts in Corel and noone was the same. Sites like Whatthefont won't answer me correctly because the letters have white line inside.
My second question is this: I need to make the same design, so the white line should be in the letters. How to make that? Is this a font property or do I need to make it by hand? If it isn't a font property, how can I make it?
I want to create a small custom set of extended uppercase characters for a company logo.
I am starting with H&FJ's Idle wild and then extending it even further. I'm initially squashing it vertically to 75%. This looks as bad as you'd imagine - the contrast of the letter forms is distorted (the horizontal lines look too thin compared to the vertical lines). However my earlier rough attempt to mimic the original contrast (ratio of width of vertical lines to horizontal lines is approximately 7:6) created something that I'm fairly happy with.
(Note that whilst I have now purchased Idle wild, I initially copied sample text from the H&FJ website and used Illustrator's trace function to create what is shown below, which explains the rather random bezier point placement. Incidentally I actually quite like some of the quirks this introduced to the letter forms - in particular the terminals of the S and the top of the A)
The word has only seven characters - ACHORST
Some of these (HT) are easy to fix manually. But in particular the round letters (COS) require a bit more thought.
I'm pretty sure back 15 years ago I could have got most of the way there quickly with CorelDRAW. From memory there was an option to use strokes ('outlines' in Corel terminology) which weren't uniform height and width. So in this instance I'd create a 'nib shape' for the stroke which was much taller than it was wide, and applying this to the letterforms would restore the contrast to roughly that of the original. (I know that typographers don't simply do something like this to create different weights of a typeface, but for my purposes I suspect it would get me most of the way there and then I could tweak it visually.)
The only wasy I can see to alter the stroke shape in Illustrator is via the Profile dropdown in the stroke dialog options, but this seems to be purely for 'artisitc' effect and entirely inappropriate for my purposes.
