September 6, 200718 yr Hello, I have been working on a new logo and think I have a sort of good one, its my profile picture. Do you like it? What could be better?
September 7, 200718 yr it does its on the profiles page http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/index.php?showuser=1863
September 7, 200718 yr hmmm. I think the text needs working on. Extend the scale of the gradient, and add a stroke or a black outer glow, on a low opacity, just to make it pop out. I dont like the bevel and emboss. Try the outer glow instead.
September 7, 200718 yr I'm of the opinion that a logo should give the full name of your business and/or give a very clear indication of what exactly you do (unless you're eBay, in which case everyone already knows what you do). Your logo does none of these things and if I didn't know your username here on WDF then I'd have no idea what the logo was for. Restaurant? Blog? Web design? So aside from the technical/Photoshop aspects of it, I'd consider revisiting the concept entirely. Sorry.

Just a simple "Web Design" or "Web Designer " underneath the main BWD letters, and would your laughing.

I agree. Also, I personally dislike the balance of the text.
September 9, 200718 yr I never really understood what typeography is, what is it? basiclly using fonts, text, colors and layout of text in design. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography
September 9, 200718 yr Author Ok thanks Well I came up with this but when I save It as a gif and put it into dreamweaver its fuzzy and pixelated? And I have the background as transparent. Why does it do that?
October 28, 200718 yr I would say you have to work out and make something with the BWD and under the logo the real text witch its "Boyles Web Design" You can take it but its only an exemple and i would prefer you try to make your own one.
October 28, 200718 yr Ok thanks Well I came up with this but when I save It as a gif and put it into dreamweaver its fuzzy and pixelated? And I have the background as transparent. Why does it do that? Well you screwed setting while saving it, you should go back and resave it, if you need the background to be transarent i would say, save it in png-24(File/Save For Web...) then there's a drop down menu, witch is set by default to gif change it to png-24 and save it where you want with the name you want. Remember that I.E. haven't developed the software to use transparent png image background so here's a javascript code to do it, you'll need to include it to the or those page using those image. Also keep the .js like it is here with the url as they made the script(pngfix.js). Thx. /* Correctly handle PNG transparency in Win IE 5.5 & 6. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola.
