    Hi,

    So I'm in the midst of creating a logo (my dad's friend told me exactly what he wants, so I don't really have any freedom with it), and they like what I have so far....

    I just need help with putting in the letters "C" and "S" in the logo...I would do it myself, but I can't figure out how to do it with Photoshop, and I don't have Illustrator yet....

    So here's what it looks like:

    [​IMG]

    They want the C on the side of the circle and the S in the middle -- so basically where you can actually see the letters in the image....

    Their colors are silver and green....bg is steel blue. I'd like the colors to be bold and black.

    The website that it'll be going on is www.csgreentech.com; my brother and I are working on it -- all we've done is found a template we like, and now we're just waiting on getting more information from my dad's friend.

    Email me if you're interested in helping me out, and I'll send you the .psd file; I do need it as a .psd file because I'll need the logo not only for web purposes but for printing purposes and whatnot. (cynthiajwlx@gmail.com)

    If there's any other information that you need or that I need to post, then please let me know asap.

    Thanks a lot!!

    Hey

    I got what you are trying to do..Is it possible to upload the .psd file? To make it easier for us instead of contacting you seperately.

    Right i've managed to play around with it but not to what you are looking for. It is a little difficult so i'm still working on it

    but I came up with another idea whilst creating it and not sure if you'de like this one better than the request but here it is anyway...

    Let me know what you think :)

    (Don't worry if you don't like it it's just an idea that I thougt of doing whilst creating the other one ;))

    I gave it a try, but with where it sounds like the letters need to go, seems a bit of a waste doing the drop shadows etc

    but any hooo here it is

    Thanks -- yeah for the last two, those are kind of what I'm looking for. And yes, I know it's difficult -- that's why I'm asking for help from you guys.

    genuinegraphics.co.uk; the first one -- I've tried that, but my dad didn't like it. And yes, the second one is exactly something like what I'm looking for now.

    1970Forest -- that is kind of what I'm looking for, but if you zoom out, then I don't think it's very visible -- the C and S. Thanks though?

    Hi cynthiajwang

    So the style is right? just needs to be full black fill? still outlined? I did try it like that but it just did not blend that well, but will redo if you require?

    Yeah, the style's correct. I'd prefer a full black fill, or anything with silver and green. Just as long as it's visible when you zoom out.

    --the second one might work; let me ask my dad. Thanks so much :)

    I will do the adjustments when you have the ok from your dad if that's ok?

    Yeah, that's fine. Thanks so much for helping me out!!! :)

    If you ever need any help (which I highly doubt, haha), then feel free to ask me :D

    Alright, my dad responded and said that he liked the first of the last two that you designed, except:

    "Try the first one with sharp endings of CS (graduate thinner and merged with the edge of Taichi circle."

    Can you send me the .psd file? You don't have to do that part; I can try to do that by myself...or if you could tell me what font you used?

    Hi C

    Not had much time on this and finding it harder than first thought...lol

    I've just blended the letters so far and that has been with paint brush.

    I'm sure that if CP, Ishkey or GG see this they may be able to do the finishing touches, if not I'll give it another go in next couple of days

    Haha, yeah, definitely harder than I first thought too...and that's why I'm now calling for help here. I'll see what my dad thinks of what you just did though. Thanks :)

    Ugh. My dad is pretty ridiculous. He changed his mind and instead wants this (which I just did in minutes...):

    [​IMG]

    SO, thank you EVERYONE who spent time and helped me out. But I'll be using the super easy logo I just posted.
