Title: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 15, 2007, 07:03:43 pm
can anyone do a little design for me? I'm gonna get some work clothing with logos on soon but I want to change the way my business name is done! at the moment its in wordart and my business name is "CLEANER WINDOWS" (as you can see!)  could anyone just re do it in some other format to look a bit better maybe with some bubbles or something behind it?
I'd appreciate it if you can help!  ;)
Thanks
Denis

jeff1 has got the closest thing so far, they are all good little designs in thier own right but what I want is a design thats my business name horizontily with maybe some bubbles behind it or something else?
cheers jeff it looked pretty good, I quite like the window too but to keep it cheap I need it simplified a bit (just the business name and some bubbles or whatever?)

Jouk, Hi mate and thanks for your design which also looks the nuts but a bit too big for what i'm after, was well impressed with the way you showed how it would look on a t shirt though...class!!!
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 15, 2007, 10:25:12 pm
P.S thanks for taking the time to have a go at this guys! its much appreciated ;)
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: jouk45 on October 15, 2007, 10:29:57 pm
no problem denis, so just the name with bubbles or something like that,
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 15, 2007, 10:36:00 pm
Yes mate, just something like that, simple, pretty much one line of words and some sort of emblem/picture/motif, I know bubbles is something maybe a bit worn out now but they look good dont they!? like i said though, maybe bubbles or maybe something else ;)

Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 16, 2007, 07:20:12 am
Jeff1, not sure mate any type of writing, something that stands out? something bold?

Jouk, I'm trad, sorry I forgot to say  ;)

Nat, that looks pretty damn good! something along those lines would be nice ;)
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 08:16:01 am
If you want it cleaner Windows the i can email you the outline illustrator file which means you can have it as big or small as you want it? just pass a mail address and i'll get it accross if your interested?

If you want me to modify the above one in anyway then just let me know i will be happy to help
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 16, 2007, 12:15:36 pm
Nat, how about keeping the bubbles the same but changing the font to chunky text or 3d or something? that would look better I reckon ;)

and cheers for helping  :)
Title: Re: anyone artistic?

Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 16, 2007, 12:25:09 pm
hehe I know mate, its o.k, I dont want to make it to fussy, just simple and stand out so ppl can read it without having to try and work out what it says ;)

Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 01:19:20 pm
more heavier text
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 01:20:43 pm
it should be on a white back ground but you get the jist
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 16, 2007, 01:23:59 pm
ahh good point, and I should have said, the clothing will be navy blue, so maybe a lighter colour?
sorry Nat  :-[
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 16, 2007, 01:25:34 pm
Light blue? what do you think?
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 01:48:09 pm
here is two on a blue back ground, i think it looks a lot more better on a white back ground personally, does it have to be on a navy background?
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 01:51:10 pm
a white background which i prefer, what you think?
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 02:29:11 pm
just another while i'm mucking around
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 02:31:42 pm
on a blue background
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: windowwashers on October 16, 2007, 02:41:42 pm
white background, with the orange writting IMO looks the best
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 02:47:21 pm
i think i prefer the one after the original, white background with heavy black text
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: Cleaner Windows on October 16, 2007, 02:54:07 pm
I think I've found the winning attempt  ;D the last one is just about perfect i think mate! the white writing on the blue bacground.
Yes the clothes I have chosen are navy blue and I'm sticking to that so the white motif on blue background imo will look the best!

Everyone is still welcome to try and come up with an even more impressive design if your not bored with trying by now lol
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 02:59:48 pm
ok i'll stop now, you've had enough of my time for FREE! ;) ;D if you want that let me know and i'll send you the right artwork

IMO you want a clear background or you will see the square on your shirt as I can better it will not match etc, clear IMO will sit better and look more professional, what do you think Nat
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 03:12:58 pm
it will be clear Ian, i was just illustratine the blue shirt by putting the background on!
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 16, 2007, 03:15:36 pm
it will look like this with a slight outline from the gradient of the bubbles
Title: Re: anyone artistic?

Title: Re: anyone artistic?

Adobe illustrator, I've only used the standard filters as it was a freebie so never took very long! ;) what do you create logos in WW?
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 17, 2007, 12:21:10 pm
I will email that logo over to you later on this evening Cleaner Windows sorry for the delay been sorting out paperwork. ;) ;D

Photoshop (and it is a nightmare sometimes, I am looking into others, but they are very expensive and need to find out which is best before spending another few hundred quid
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 17, 2007, 05:03:18 pm
Ian, you shouldn't be creating logos in photoshop, its for editing images, things will pixelate and are very small unless using large images. Illustrator works in linear meaning no matter how big or small your logos it will be 100% perfect each time. if you can get illustrator then do its well worth it

I know what you are saying about pixelating, I must be doing well with it as I have not had that problem to much, but is a pain in the bum sometimes will check out illustrator  ;)
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 17, 2007, 06:17:03 pm
you will get away with it Ian, but say for instance you want your logo blown up to the size of your van, you will either have to have the logo saved down as a monsterous image or re create it in an illustrator outline file which is tiny in terms of space but can be taken upto any size with minimal effort.

being both adobe applications they are easily transferable from one application to another with minimal fuss.

Its the way proffesionals work ;) 8)

Hi nat sry to be a pain, does illustrator files show history of how you made image? if they do any chance you could email me a copy of the image so I can work out how you come to where you are on it, I can then have a play?
Title: Re: anyone artistic?
Post by: nat on October 17, 2007, 06:50:34 pm
its easy to create what i done, just type some text, draw a circle from the tool panel, go to window>graphic styles. then once you have the window up click on the small right tab, it will then have a sub menu with various effects to load, click on vrious ones and have a play, you will see all the different effects there fairly good. It can get very complicated when you get further in but what i created is very easy.

make sure once you have the right type face you select it and go to type>create outlines, this will then have it created as an image rather than type and will be fully editable

I take it you have a CS or above version?
