anyone good at making logo's?
 

I have started a little side business repairing computers. I have a friend who has a screen printing business and she is willing to make me some t-shirts in trade for some work I did for her. I need a logo in .gif or .eps format, and don't know jack about making logos. I have looked on the internet at the free creators and they all suck. Not asking for something outrageous and willing to send some cigars if you like. let me know and we can work something out.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Meant to also add that the size should be big enough or either high res enough that it doesn't have to be stretched too much to make a logo on a t-shirt. Actually the logo will go on the left chest so it doesn't have to humongous, but once again I am challenged in this area, so what do I know.:r

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I might be able to help but I am no expert by any means. I don't know how professional it would be. I have some friends who are graphic design majors but they would more than likely charge you a fee rather than doing it for cigars.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Any ideas of what you would like to see Greg? Company name? Photo of a computer? etc,etc...

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

If I had my Graphic Design program on my computer I would deffinately help ya out. But, hurricane Katrina took those from me and dont have the money to buy them back.
But if you need a graphic designer's opinion, advice, etc... I'll be glad to help out.

I got a degree in graphic design, its almost sad I don't use it much.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Greg, what do you invision it looking like, what kind of aspects to it, colors, etc. I'll try to throw something together when I have time. Also the name might help :p

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Well I know I am picky and that prolly aint gonna get me far when I am begging. I would like some kinda pic of a puter in there, or if not then something techy looking that would transfer on a shirt well. The name is; GG's Computers and the catch phrase is: If I don't fix it, you don't pay

Prolly go broke trying to hold up my end of that bargain but what the heck huh?

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Sounds like an idea for a contest. :D

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Shoulda made this a contest. :r

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I was kinda scared that if I made it a contest someone would think I was a schmuck.:tu

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

And the shirt will probably be grey.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

And oh yeah, I suck. I spent two hours on google images and couldn't even find an image that I liked. Well actually that's not true, they were just in jpg and that won't work.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

nobody around here would think that greg. u should know that.:)

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Well then maybe I will make it into a contest then.:tu

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

If no one posts that I am a schmuck for doing it by tomorrow then I will make it a contest and the winner gets a ten pack from my humi. That sound OK?

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Plus the next time I get stuck at a job, I am calling Shilala for tech support.:r

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

And that's only cause I have worn out my freebies with Dunng.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Greg, what would help DRAMATICALLY is if you'd just do a hand sketch of something you can see in your mind's eye.
Once someone sees that, they can throw some ideas out.
Realize it takes a lot of time to make logos, beggars can't be choosers, and simple is always best.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I know it bro, hence the schmuck comment. Simple is the way I imagined it. I'll try to post something similar and see if that helps.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Throw a couple big G's together and rock on. Like one G hanging on the other.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

That would prolly be good Scott. Here are a couple of things that caught my eye:

Prolly something like the middle one would be simpler and cleaner.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I kinda like the idea of the two Gs though, so that would prolly work well.:tu

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Maybe something similar to this is what you're thinking? http://www.glimchergroup.com/images/gg-logo.gif

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Or two big G's in a mirror image of each other

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

http://www.gantrygroup.com/images/gg_logo.jpg

just throwing out some ideas...obviously these are already in use.........

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

That's not what I was thinking cause I aint got a good head for that kinda stuff, but I like it.:noon

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

This one is cool too:

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Here you go brother it looks just like you!!!

Oh, sorry brother, you said LOGO not LEGO!!!!

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

My wife LOVES the Lego games on her WII.....unfortunately it died 2 days ago in the middle of the new star wars one!

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I like this one too, without the shadow and with the name above and the tagline below would prolly be awesome.:tu

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I Like The "Reflection" In This One, Too!:tu

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

That would look absolutely badass if it was embroidered on. Maybe underneath just put "Fixed or Free."
Get it? GG, fixed or free? Easy to remember, easy to call. Or not. I just like rhymes. :D
edit:
I just looked through the rest, and I like all the logos. I don't think you can miss here, Gainey.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Bijingies i think u got something Scott.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Gotta go with Larry on this one!!!





Sorry Greg!

Re: anyone good at making logo's?

:tu I LikeThe "Face On" Better.:)

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Brad, that looks like G D more than GG. Constructive Criticism.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I threw this together, since you were kinda digging the double G thing. Im not entirely satisfied with it, but its a start. I just dabble so don't expect perfection :p

edit: wow the attachment feature strips some quality off of it.. I had put a light pattern on it to so you could kind of see what it'd look like on a shirt and all.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Them ain't G's, Wayner, them's ARMS!

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Do not mean to butt in here but I think I can help you.

And I will trade you for a handful of decent cigars.

I just finished designing the logo for a fellow forum member's cigar lounge and he sent me $250 worth of really nice cigars:

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

$250 worth!!! that's a nice gig if you can get it. I have done a couple on here for free and a couple for contests. It's a fun past time.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Did not mean to offend. I do this for a living.

That's a trade in cigars...

CB

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I am like you, Lisa, there are things that are fun, and there are things that are work. My work is FUN,
at least to me. But it wouldn't be work of I didn't expect it to put food on the table. SOMETIMES I give
stuff away, but we have to be so close enough as to blur that line between work and SHITZENGIGGLES.
No offense is taken I am sure. I can't eat cigars or thank you notes, lol. And times are tough all around.

(PS, you hand-draw a mean steamboat, lol)

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Nice!

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I was offering to help like I did with Riverside. I see it was not appropriate.

Sorry.

CB

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

How was it not appropriate? Greg seems to be looking at any help he can get.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

I thought I tried to assure you that everything was cool, Lisa. Maybe I used too many words again and
confused my point. This kind of thing is an 'all-comers' endeavor. If he gets no takers, or doesn't like any of the
ideas, he might be lucky to get it done for $250, you never know. The asylum is loaded to the top with
people who always try to network something free before putting it out on the open market. I needed a sound card
for a dino-puter last month, a guy stepped up and was kind enough to ship it to me the same day, cost me 3 cigars
and a pint glass.

Re: anyone good at making logo's?
 

Thank you for your reply. I charge $1000 for a corporate logo.

But if the discussion is looking for work for free, that is fine.

I was looking for a BOTL trade of $250 worth of stogies. I put a lot of effort into my work.

Carry on, fellow smokers and I am available if anyone needs me.

Smoking a Partagas Serie D No 4 on the back porch! -(P

Cheers!
