Win 98 PS 6.0 beginner

I need to do a logo. My first logo.
Its simple. Just 2 circles in different colors one inside the other with some text curving inside the 2 circles.
Its going to be used for a letterhead (print) so i guess I have to use CYMK colors. How do is start? How a professional or a more advanced PS user attack this problem ? Would this be easier in Freehand? I also haev Flash but i only feel confiodent in PS. But will accept any advice or suggestion but i need to make a start soon.
Thank U

use vecotors… the paths and shape tools.

Paul,

Would this be easier in Freehand? <<

Yes, and would have the advantage of being entirely vector and so scaleable. Photoshop has no text_on_path facility so that would be much easier in Freehand or Illustrator

i’m not really a logo expert, there are plenty here who I’m sure will stop by, but to get you started, it’s recommended you design your logo using the vector shape and path tools as opposed to the standard (raster) paint brushes and paint buckets. the reason being that if you need to scale/size the images later, vector logos won’t lose quality where as raster logos will every time you futz with the size of an element.

also depending on WHERE you’re printing, i’m not sure you need to design in cmyk. are you talking about sending it to an outside printer to do? or will you be printing it in house on an ink jet. if on an ink jet, keep it rgb.

i’m sure more help will follow soon as all the pro’s work up the strength to log on after a vigorous friday night of "designing". 🙂

I’d advise you to talk to your printer before you do anything else, to start with they may not intend to print it CMYK if it is, say, a two-colour job? Ask them what *they* need from you to produce the letterheads exactly as you want them.

Definitely use a vector graphics program, Freehand or Illustrator I guess are the best options if you have access to either, they take some getting used to but the resulting image quality will make it worth your while. Just take it slowly, keep the manual to hand, and don’t panic!
The other advantage is that if you do end up producing a spot colour print rather than CMYK, it’s easier to specify colours to allow the plates to be separated.

To add to Rachel’s wise words …

Spot colour is used for many logos, both for easy colour consistency and, if the number of colours is limited [as it is in all the best logos], it’s cheaper.

Hi all
I have a logo that is black with a white background. I am tring to get the white to disappear so only the black picture will show up were ever I paste it. I have tried transparent with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use the magic wand tool and select the white background area and delete. Then save your image in a format that preserves transparency like GIF which is well suited for limited color such as this.

I should have mentioned…when you first bring an image into Elements it’s named a ‘backgound’ layer. In the layers palette you must double click on this layer first to make it an ‘editable’ layer…default is layer 0 which is fine. Make sure your image is in RGB mode>toolbar>image>mode.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why any business would use a hotmail account or a similar "throwaway" email address instead of creating a top level domain and using the email address that comes with it. It isn’t even necessary to have anything other than a simple contact page at the domain. Just using the more professional email address to present a legitimate appearance is justification enough.

Nothing says "fly-by-night" so loudly as a hotmail email address when used by a business.

There are ways to combat this. Trust me, I’ve taken the steps and reduced my spam from *5000 per day* to less than 50. My email address is on my website and I post to newsgroups frequently. Soon I will be adding an email form to my website to reduce it even further.

I’ve found that your internet customers will trust you more if you don’t have a throwaway email address for the reasons I’ve stated. If you don’t feel that’s important to your business, that’s your business. —

That’s exactly my point. Everybody starts somewhere. A throwaway email account says "amateur", and throws up a red flag to a lot of potential customers on the internet.

If you can afford to lose those potential customers and their dollars, I’m sure your competitor will gladly take them off your hands. —

You’re assuming that he does not have a "real" address. I bet if someone is legitimately interested in helping contacts him, they will get all the info they need. Even his real email addy. Jeesh, you people overthink everything.

Wrong. I wrote that I don’t understand why a business would "use" a throwaway email address. I assume that a legitimate business would have a real website and therefore, a real email address to go with it. Why pay for it, then not use it? Why not show that you know how to utilize the internet better than my grandmother?

I see this all the time in advertising: a real website, but a Yahoo or Hotmail email address instead of
Robots don’t crawl newspapers or magazines to harvest email addresses. What would be the excuse for not using your "real" email address in a newspaper or magazine ad?

It’s not overthinking, it’s the way your customers will perceive you. One of the deadliest habits a business owner can get into is not taking the viewpoint of his customers.

Like I said, who says he doesn’t? Just because he didn’t post it here. Do you see me posting my business here? Not a chance. An 8 digit company, by the way>
He’s not "selling" here. He is "soliciting". Look in any job want ads. Many of them don’t have anything more than a PO box. Same thing.
