Designing a logo... how?

What would you guys suggest? Any logo attempt that I’ve done, I used a font from dafont.com and mostly just edited it in Photoshop. If you guys have any suggestions, I’m interested.

side note: this is a quick video of a how to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pOkaC4eHsE

I suggest you pay a professional.

adobe illustrator and get creative with weird shapes and shit…

I have AAA logo creator, i can help

You need to do it in Illustrator, NOT Photoshop.

And pay a professional.

lol.

I already did it with Photoshop.

I hope you don’t plan on ever resizing it then.

nope, don’t need to. I know that I’d have to make it into a vector to do so.

hope you dont need to print it or use it on clothing.

300 or 72 dpi?

72 in web safe colors, saved as a gif.

hahaha. LOVE it.

you were the one who asked for advice. and following in true nyspeed tradition are now basically saying you know better than those offering suggestions. if you want some actual help, go post your logo in the critique section of the how magazine forums and prepare to be assaulted. you’ll get some serious feedback that you might learn something from.

Being a graphic designer, it makes me giggle when people with zero knowledge or experience make their own logos. You can spot a DYI/my-brother’s-friend’s-friend-did-it-for-free-with-his- 30 day-trial-version-of-Photoshop 7, from a mile away.

But whatever.

EDIT: after watching the ‘How To’ youtube video, perhaps a 72dpi web safe colors only gif logo is what you were aiming for. If so, I digress.

THIS. it’s also the reason i stopped designing for so long. but i missed it too much.

the suggestions I was replying to were telling me to go pay someone. My question was how do I do it.

there could have been some decent information in this post but the ones who have the most information failed to contribute.

Really? Pretty sure posts 3,4 and 5 were helpful posts…and by post#7 you had already ruined it.

Can we at least see the logo? Either to point and laugh or insert our feet in our mouths?..
