I need a hand - simple logo

[Adzm00]

So I do not normally ask for help here, but with graphics I am utterly crap at, as in, I have zero knowledge, so if someone can help me out with this I will be thankful. It shouldn't be too much work at all really and if you help me I will add credit to my site and point visitors in your direction.

So basically I need a logo, one of which has a white background which can be used to make stickers and one which has a transparent background, for any flyers, banners or for use on websites.

What I want is an image as below (the outline of the London skyline), with the words LondonTechnoBlog under it, bold and black only, of a reasonable size and space as to make it run along the majority of the image length, so that I am able to make it as large/small as I may need.

I think it is pretty straight forward (although obviously I do not know how to do it), but if I need to post further info just let me know. Thanks

:lol:

The Techno font is so perfect. Nice one Marc.

[Adzm00]

:shrug:

I do not even know the font.

But it is nice and simple, which is what I wanted.

[Adzm00]

Also, I was wondering about a graffiti style font too (for all the text), is that easy to do?

I just want it to be very clear though, to the point where you just need to glance at it to read it. I've seen some fonts this sort of style and you can't easily tell what it says.

[Marc S]

graffiti fonts look gash, they look so generic and "gamer tagz yo" unless they are hand drawn, because the letters reproduce and in graffiti that looks odd, all tagging has variations on the letters,

@rek, the techno font is the same as the rest, its just helvetica with a workpath over it to tie it in with the "vector style" redraw of the skyline.

Well it looks great. You should work on that whole line and post it on a font site for a fee.

Yeah, I just had a search on the internet for grafitti style fonts that might work, there were a couple that looked ok, but its hard to actually guage what it would look like together with the logo and then there were just pages and pages of gash.

Anyway cheers Marc.

if you use dafont you can type your own word in and it shows that as the "preview" for the typeface/fonts

Nice one thanks guys.

Just felt compelled to comment on fonts to people, quantity does not equal quality when you start downloading fonts. I know quite a few people that have huge folders of fonts they download. Make sure you like what you're downloading! Nice work Marc. Done in PS?

[Marc S]

yeah just ps, i had it open doing some work when i saw this, only took 60 seconds.

Here's an alternative image you could use: -

I included the "hand" you said you needed in the thread title. Well, a fist, but same thing.

[Marc S]

lmao.

[Adzm00]

:love:

If you could make the London eye into a bum hole and put the fist going into it, that would be superb.

[Sigma]

:lol:

[Adzm00]

Marc, do you think you could move the text down a bit, and insert a boat and river? Just very simple in keeping with the original. Trying to get some tshirts done for our boat party in a couple of weeks time.

Also if you want to send me your website address I'll link it on mine as thanks.

Sorry Manu, no poo and no blood, not a good enough effort I'm afraid.

I could make Ozzy Osbourne's head come out of that, but I was on a laptop with MS paint. That can be sorted though, Paypal or cheque?
