PirateRiderBen Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Was wanting to make a logo for my Fall Rides, not to tech savvy, so looking for a little help. Thanks, -PRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Here is an evaluation of easy-to-use logo making software from just a couple of weeks ago, so it should be current. These will probably be the easiest route: https://www.freshbooks.com/blog/logo-creator-tools/ If you have MS Office and your version includes Publisher you can try that. Since Office is ubiquitous there are a lot of blog articles helping to create a logo with Publisher. Sometimes I forget that I have software capable of doing something new because I have not used it in a few years or I used the product suite for a different purpose. So don't forget to survey your system for long-lost drawing software such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRiderBen Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm guessing this doesnt work on Mac. I have Office but I don't think i have Publisher. Just word, PP, and Excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Some of those are web apps, they work right from a web site. You would just have to test your browser compatibility. MS Word has Word Art which has plenty of cool texts and shapes to insert. Here is a tutorial you can try, and see if it let's you create what is in your mind: http://www.techddictive.com/2011/06/how-to-create-professional-logo-with.html The only thing with Word is it doesn't support native picture formats, so once you have a nice design you have to take a screenshot then and paste the screenshot into a photo editor, then save to a picture format like JPG. You can then create a document in word, then insert the logo into your document. (Are you creating a signature form?) What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRiderBen Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I was just hoping to create a little logo like the Tmac logos in my signature, but for the Fall rides I have done the last couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Oh that signature, I got it now. Yes, give MS Word a try. It can produce all kinds of text, easily select a text effect like shadow or reflection. You can insert shapes. Right click the shape to bring to front/send to behind the text. Right click any shape and select FORMAT SHAPE to apply a gradient, change colors, etc. The wordart text has a little object above it which allows you to drag it to an angle like 90°. Just some functions I thought I would mention to help design logos like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
