I’ve been entering a bunch of “challenges” and checking out a bunch of different blogs and started thinking I should maybe make a logo to identify myself in the “blog world”. I’ve seen a ton of really cool ones and know I’m going to have to work up to something truly spectacular, but here’s my first crack at it. I was trying to combine the gardening and the crafting, and the mandala seems like a nice nod to my psychology “day job”. Oh, and purple. I love the color purple. (The movie was pretty cool, too.)
Now I just have to figure out how to attach this to posts on other pages. This blogging can really get technically complicated, but it’s so fun!!
I can so relate to being a bit technically challenged! I love the encouragement mmbdabbleon gave you above:) Learn a little each day! I know I am:)
Thanks. That’s the best thing about blogging… All the encouragement and great ideas.
Nice, Nik! Definitely check out dafont.com. A nice curvy unique script would be nice. I’ll have time soon to give you PS lessons.
Thanks, Lor. It sure comes in handy having a professional in the family.
I no longer have photoshop and I miss it so much, you will love it when you get the hang of a few things. Your mandala is a great basis for the logo, it’s lovely.
Thanks so much. If I can get the lettering to match the style it will be perfect.
There is a lot organic free fonts out there if you wanted to tie that in with the flowers. I usually draw out my own lettering but for someone just looking for some to use http://www.dafont.com/ is a place loaded with free fonts.
That’s a great idea! I definitely wasn’t happy with the lettering. I just got Photoshop and a scanner (for my birthday) so now I need to figure out how to use them.
spend a little time each day and you will be on your way.
Exactly. Thanks!
The font site was a good suggestion. I’m just going to piggy-back on that and show you another one I know called Font Squirrel: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/. It has some good stuff as well.
Perhaps thick cursive lettering might look good against that image?
