!!To start, i m really bad at making logos and i m new to photoshop!!

Hey. Long time ago i made this logo for my small website.
And now i would like to renew it. so i thought about getting some help from experts with lots of imagination = Y'all :}

My logo is an "S", i would like to make a cool one [slick]
I really can't make a good logo, i don't have any imaginations.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor english ;\

Hi tommyhilfiga !

You can draw the letter with pen tool or brash (PS Caligraphic Brushes are great for that).

Or you can search for the font that you would like at:

Hope this can help you.

It looks like your trying to use the pen tool. If that's the case you are using way too many anchor points, which is why you're s looks so jagged and fragmented. I would try installing a font that has an S similar the what you are going for, converting it to a path, and then editing the path to fine tune the design. I'll see if I can't dredg up some good vector/pen tool links for you.

Those 2 should get you started working with the pen tool. My tip for you would be to save all of your paths as selections by using alpha channels. That way you can add multi-color fills, etc.

Hi, Tommyhilfiga . Yes , it is, much better.

Logo should be clean, simple and easy to recognize, so I would not suggest to add a "lots" of things.

Check The Inside Track Forum , there are logo challange treads.

Just keep at it tommyhilfiga!

Remember, this is YOUR logo and yes, you have more imagination than you give yourself credit for. Play around some and you'll be surprised what you can come up with!

I'm wondering what the "S" stands for... this could guide you in the designing process.

And yes, keep it "simple"!
