Please design a logo for me!
Please design a logo for me!
Hey All!
Okay, firstly I know I'm really cheap for asking for a freebie but I really need this done! As some of you might know I was elected as head of IT council in my school. I'm trying to design a logo to go on posters and most things relating to the council. I have tried, but my design for this one is a bit ugly... :
I'm needing something professional looking, clean and crisp. If anyone has some time on their hands and a good sense of helping their fellow man then please could you do this for me!
Thanks for any help.
BTW. It'll need to say IT council or Information Technology council & I'll need a hi-res (or 8x10 size) psd,psp or large jpeg! Sorry about all the fuss!
Thanks again, Rikkelz

I had thought of something tike Information Technology in a nice clear cut font with council in a matrix code, nothing too bold, but just with the code there and council being the words frozen with other matrix code around. But I'm just chucking ideas, this is a open thing, the best artists are not limited!
Thanks again

What's with all the fancy fonts? No offense, but those fonts always look amateur. Always avoid using tacky Photoshop layer effects too - they're a big no-no in design.
Use a plain simple font - works every time. No need to try and create anything fancy.
And whatever you do... be original. The Matrix has become a horribly boring cliche

Okay I agree with the Martix cliche thing! But I thought the font looked quite nice! I had a look at others but times new roman doesn't quite do it for me! Sorry about the layer effects in photoshop, i'm still quite a newbie in it. I used the shadow blend option to soften the edge between the font and the white on the paper.
Thanks for your advice Leigh!

the_nominator, when I was studying graphic design many moons ago, one of the first things we were taught was to avoid, at all costs, the use of Photoshops layer effects - eg drop shadows, bevels, etc. They interfere with the typeface and thereby distort the readability of the text, and are therefore considered as design flaws.
Also, the use of all caps is not always a good idea since the human eye tends to recognise letters from their shapes, whereas when you have everything in caps, all the letters are read as rectangles.
Rikkelz - heh nothing wrong with not liking Times New Roman, it is a horrible font! You probably want to consider rather going for a more simple, slightly formal font for an IT thing, such as Verdana, Impact or even good old Arial. Remember, plain design works best and reads best. You should also consider going with muted tones instead of harsh contrasting colours. IT stuff works well with blues, grays or even muted reds or yellows. Duller colours, when used effectively, work great
I'm too tired to offer any more advice. Goodnight!

Hey, i got a challage for everyone.Mainly because i have failed at it and im running out of ideas. Can anyone design a really simple but stunning logo -"TS". Its just 2 letters but i havent created anything thats wow.Maybe one of you guys can make something out of it. Nothing complex, just black and white but the trick is to make it grab peoples attention.It can even be something one has to look deep into to only find that it says "TS".
I R on bended kness. :stupid:
