Hello,
I'm looking to design a logo / heading for a page I'm putting
together. Does anyone know of a free web based or freeware logo creator
anywhere? I've Copernic'd a little for something to use but they tend to be
very simplistic or they want to charge for design.
Does anyone have any favourites?
I would say: check out
www.webgfx.ch but the site looks like its down right
now while they work on a new version
I looked at your site... a few comments:
The logo up top doesn't look bad... but it is rather big and high.
It looks wider than 800px so that would make it scroll to the right for alot
of people... in a 640x480 browser with a few options/toolbars selected in IE
it would almost make the user have to scroll down to see anything beyond
your logo
The way it looks raised from the background tile doesn't look too bad
either, but thats not the best tile to use for the site... any text over it
(dark or light) is going to bleed into it a little bit and in the long run
it'll be bad on the eyes
What you might look to do is:
- reduce the text size so the logo is maybe 300x100
- build some kind of 'box' with the repeating background tile under it, have
the background tile across the whole page, and then maybe make it 125px high
- incorporate a navigation system into the box, running along the top of the
page, under the logo (try your logo in all 3 positions: center, left and
right to see what works best)
- make the rest of the page white or offwhite with black text... probably 3
columns (left side being your primary content/sub navigation, center being
main content, right side being "extra" content)
