Anybody good with Photoshop or have some experience creating logos?

We need one for this site!

If you can make something up, send it to:

mikel.beck@northeastbracketracing.com

Thanks. I wouldn't be asking if I had any artistic ability. But I've got none. :cry:

Hey Mikel...I'll give it a shot. I'm pretty good with Photoshop - been making web graphics with it for 6 years, so I might be able to come up with something good.

What's wrong with Sargeant D anyway? I like S.O.D., though I guess the image isn't so friendly. :D

Whatever you guys come up with, I think a "tree" should be included. A flashing one would be great !

OK, here's what I have so far. I don't think they're all that great, but give me your opinion anyway. I will try to come up with some better versions... it's late here so it'll have to be tomorrow - LMK what you guys think.

i like the bottom two, think i like black background best. how about shrinking the name a little so a tree could could go on left or right side of it?
either way NICE JOB =D>

TomMonte

07-27-2004, 05:55 PM

OK, we can definitely adjust to put a tree in there....I sorta forgot about that!

I just did another one with Dartsport's sig pic:

http://img62.exs.cx/img62/986/NEBR_Logo4.jpg

It's almost midnight here (in Germany) and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll work on some new versions tomorrow.

Later! :mrgreen:

I like the last one (with the sig pic).

TomMonte

Alrighty....here's logo 3 with a 'tree. ;)

http://img62.exs.cx/img62/2200/NEBR_Logo3b.jpg

They can be tweaked more, so LMK. I'm already thinking the tree could be larger in relation to the letters...I'll mess with it tomorrow.

Just saw Mikel's post too, so I can work on that one as well. If anyone comes up with other ideas, please pass it along.

Now I really have to go to bed because it's 1:00AM. :D

I like it! I think we have a winner!

Can you make a banner version of that? Like 400 x 120?

Ya da man, Tom.

mikelbeck

I tried out that one as a board logo (in the upper left hand corner), it's a little too big. Plus, I think the one with the white background looks better there.

But I like the other one too, if you could use both of them and make a banner or two (to put up on other web sites), I'd be a super-happy man.

\:D/ \:D/ \:D/

TomMonte

OK....so you want the one that's up there now, and the black one with the tree as banners, right? I can put together a couple animated ones. 400x120 is doable, any other sizes?

Yep, that would be nice.

As for the sizes - I don't know... Are there standard sizes for banners? I looked at two and there were 400x120. Are there other sizes?

If you'd like to put a link to this site in your signature on other web sites, use this block of code:

[url=http://www.northeastbracketracing.com/forums][img]http://www.northeastbracketracing.com/images/NEBR_Logo4.jpg[/img][/url]

That will put a click-able NEBR logo on your sig, allowing other users to come right to the site when they click.

Take a look at my signature below for an idea of what it'll look like.

If Tom comes up with some better logos, I'll put them up as well along with blocks of code to use for linking to them.

Hey Mikel,

Here's another small version that's from the original and is a little cleaner:

http://img58.exs.cx/img58/3865/NEBR_Logo4_small.jpg'

I'll do what I can tonight, but I just got back to where I'm staying, so it may not be until tomorrow.

I don't mean to be pushy, as I know you're doing this on your own time and all.... But... Any progress on the banners? :roll:

Hey Mikel,

No problem. I flew home from Germany on Saturday, and needed some R&R + had a family party yesterday, so I haven't had much time. I'll work on them during the week (possibly tonight).

Tom

What? You're not allowed to relax! Who do you think you are? ;-)

Nah, I'm kidding... Whenever you get to it is fine by me. I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget.
