Here a few more combinations.... too big to post in the forum. Thanks for your feedback earlier. IDEAS Logo Entry
My proposal Inspirations: Ideas, Creative and Group. All in one fusion Works in bw and plain colours too. Edited
Hi IdeasGirl, is there anyway I can do on my logo to make it useable (printable) for you kind regards
WOW! Now it's more difficult I thought already I had a winner... not so sure now. James, not bad... but not what I'm looking for. Shibligd, I like the lightbulb... but not the design. Zmaja, nice revision! Kia, I love the blue and green. Karmyoga, not what I'm looking for. Gonzalo, interesting concept... but others beat you. Coolwanz, did you do that in vectors? If not, I will need it for final file. For be useful for me, I need it in black & white without shadings or special effects. Take a look to kia's and kmoneil's b/w samples. Also, I don't like very much the type of head you used... try change it a bit. My top 5 still the same with zmaja's last entry.
Note: I've just noticed that you need the image in vector format (my oversight, sorry). If it helps, my drawing is in 300 dpi resolution .psd format, which is quite enough for printing and scaling to desired size, and I know that from experience. I'm not working in Illustrator at the moment, cause the nature of my work demands fast and effective images, in high quality, and .psd format satisfies all the requirements (including size variations). Regards zmaja
you can use vector tools (paths) in photoshop so it can be resized to whatever size you want, but sadly can't save as a vector. Of course, like you said 300dpi is easily enough for most print works, unless you're planning on printing it on a billboard or something!
i should have asked this a long time ago i always assumed the answer... but in adobe photoshop is the pixels/in the same as dpi?
Not in PS, not in any other. DPI is more about printing resolution and PPI is more to screen or display resolution. Pixels is a unit for displaying images on a screen/display/monitor... dots are the periods/dots printed by a printer to create the image. Got it? If I don't have it in vectors, I won't be able to use it for certain prints like promotional products.
hey ideagirl, I just checked the forum and I won't be able to make the changes to the logo until monday. I'm checking from a remote location.
I don't see why not? I've done images that were used in different sizes, from business cards, promotional balloons, letters, websites, and even as truck stickers (that is properly big promotional size, if you except billboards), and all done as the image which is made for your contest, and there were no complains on any of them. But....as you wish. I apologize, but I have no time right now to do it all over again in Illustrator. Cheers zmaja
It's not that it would look bad, it's that for promotional products industry a vector graphic is always the format required for printing (eps, cdr or ai). Being a promotional product distributor for almost 10 years, I have to print these constantly to advertise my company and give my customers samples of what I can do for them or just as a thank you for being my customer. I do understand your point/situation of not doing the design all over again. It was nice to see your creation and talent for design. Don't withdraw your entry, I'm thinking to give consolidation prices to others if I can have the designs if they want to accept.
photoshop can export images to eps formats and other vector based formats, they just wont retain the quality as well, however with high resolution it should be fine unless you stretch it out to the size of a sign or something
Yeah, just sometimes when you are printing a t-shirt they need vector format, have experienced this myself. I'm not clued up on why this is, but it is.
If anyone desperately needs there logo created into vector i could have a crack at remaking it for vector
i guess, it wouldnt take that long, as i am just copying it. but i will only do it if IDEASgirl is going to or thinking of using it. so i dont waste time
