New logo designs, comments desired
2003-12-14, 7:13 PM #1
Many people have commented that my current logo is jagged around the edges, so I've been working on a new logo from scratch:

[http://www.pwizard.com/pagewizardnewlogo.jpg]

(This is an extremely preliminary preview and I may change some stuff on it before I have a design I want to implement. The white background around the graphic is something that I added so it would be JPG compatible. (Illustrator files have no actual background, it's just a bunch of path objects placed in various positions.) The real image has no background, so it will be really easy to seamlessly implement into any graphic later)

I made it in Adobe Illustrator for two reasons:

1. Illustrator is better for drawing than photoshop is

2. I plan to use the illustrator AI file as the main template for my logo. B/c of this, I will have to rescale this graphic a lot, so by using vector graphics to create the original image, I'm hoping to keep pixelating to a minimum b/c I plan to scale the logo image in illustrator (thus preserving 100% of the smoothness!) before I rasterize it by importing it into photoshop.

I plan to post any decent variations of this design that I come up with, and I will take any suggestions to mind.

[edit] I know the graphic looks like it's been rotated to the right, but it's just an optical illusion in this instance-- I checked, the graphic is oriented perfectly in illustrator. It just looks crooked here b/c I cropped it so close.

you have no idea how much better that is... fix that little notch on the upper right and I would say leave it as is. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

maybe not

-fix the notch
-round out the lower right
-don't let the circle come to the edges, it makes it look flat

It won't be like that when its finished. Imagready cropped the image to this size when Isaved it as a JPG. (I loaded the ai file in imageready.)
