Designing a logo

**Egg Bramhill** · 30 September 2006, 03:03 AM

Frank,

Bang on!

Basically a small company that stores anything from documents to cars and buses

"All hat and no knickers" type of business. They have wharehouse big enough to lose a double decker bus but want someone to create a logo free of charge, for the fun of it, the buzz, the acclaim...etc..etc..etc..

Andy,

Could I suggest that when you are using a logo in a website that you create the logo at the size it will be veiwed at rather than have the browser resize the image. This way you will get a lot cleaner/crisper image.

Here we go again... people wanting to create logos, and people coming in to act disdainful.

Yes, I think people can take advantage of people's generousity sometimes. But ultimately, if someone wants to help another member, then that is their prerogative. We're all adults here. So please, no soap boxes in these threads. We know the score. Don't give them traffic if you really are so against them.

Jason allow me just a small tip: You´ve used unpact font in your design. Probably most of the users here don´t have it installed and aren´t able to view the logo correctly (the same hapened with your other post (Verve) where you used Borealis font). When posting xar files make sure you convert your text objects to shapes first. This way we can all see your design even without the font you used installed on our systems.
You can do this selecting the text object and then Arranje -> Convert to Editable Shapes from the menu. Note that after the conversion your text will NOT be editable anymore.

Another (easier - unless you really want to share the Xar file) solution is just exporting your file as jpeg or png (without needed to do any conversion and keeping the text editable). Xara will render the bitmap exactly as you see on screen.

Okay, one question, are you calling me a monkey now?

If I have offended anybody, sorry, but that's my opinion.

And I am a bit of an anarchist, and I am not so much for the monetairy system. So I could do it.
