Help with Logo

I'm looking for some help in a corporate logo.
The logo is fairly simple, mainly using letters and a couple vector circles. I am new to this so any help/beginner advice would be appreciated on the following:
- I need to try to 'erase' a small part of one letter in the logo. When I select the eraser it won't allow me to erase this small piece of the letter without rasterizing the letter first. Is there a way to erase this small piece of letter without rasterizing it?
- If I build all of the letters and the small circles as vectors, and save the image as an .eps, will I be able to adjust the size of the logo overtop of images without having to worry about image quality (will it re-scale as an .eps automatically?)
If you can help provide me with some beginner advice it would be much appreciated! Thanks. I'm trying to better understand vector images and .eps files.

You're looking at the wrong software. Photoshop is primarily a raster image editor.
Logos are more easily designed in a primarily vector program like Illustrator. If you don't have Illustrator, try vector editors like Inkscape or Expression for free (or get the 30-day trial of Illustrator).

CS3 Help with logo - Glassy logo from flat dull logo

I have a well established logo for my business that I want to modernise without loosing the look and wanted to make it look glassy - I have been googleing for various suggestions and was hoping for someone to point me in the right direction!

You might look into gradient mesh also substitute a real font for the word Mountain instead of an outline and apply
an edge effect so you can fill it with a gradient more easily.
Here is what yo can do with a gradient mesh bt I really am not certain I understand the look you want.
And why?

Need help with logo

Hi I have a logo on the top of the page, it is an oval and had has a g with a horse...I am trying to clean the picture up and not having any luck....can anyone help me... I suck with photoshop
http://www.gullionshowhorses.com/

Can you be a bit more specific please? What are you trying to clean up? On the surface it appears ok unless you want a super clean image for business purposes, then you need to create a vector. I have fond that more often than not I just recreate in vector with a bigger size, then convert to bitmap. That way you always have a clean vector to begin with.
There is enough contrast for easy masking.

Need help with logo concepts?

Okay, so you have a good idea, but only some rough sketches or scans of your doodles? Post them here so people can pick them up and work on them.
If you have a good design that works for you, but are unable to create all the variations (negative, black, small, big, with sugar and creme), post them here and e-mail an artist to help you out. Or simply wait for someone to pick it up. Describe the problems you are having.
Not happy with the design, but want some advice on how to fix it? Post it here as well.
Anything else that comes to your mind? Post it here. Just don't post if you have no artwork to show, okay?

There is an entire thread about the actual goal of the concept.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=38051
Basically, everyone is encouraged to redefine Arch from any number of POWs. From what I remember, we have mentioned the following:
1. arch is simply an arch, as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch
2. if (1.) then, there could be two possibilities:
2a. an arch like the St. Louis Arch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Arch)
2b. an arch like the Arc de Triomphe of Paris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_de_Triomphe)
3. archer, archery, the arrows
4. any kind of modified letter A
5. arch as in principal, chief (arch nemesis, not necessarily in bad sense, this is what Judd picked when he named our distro)
6. Arhc's energy, speed, lighness (both in a mix or as separate concepts)
6a. speed and lightness as in light design, light colors
6b. energy as in Sun
6c. stability as in a boat on a fast-flowing river (canoe, rafting)
7. penguins are boring
8. Arch is inviting (soft, subdued colors and soft shapes)
The color scheme could be blue or anything else. Some suggestions were BLUE (d'oh!), PURPLE, YELLOW, BLACK, EMERALD, GRAY...
Matt3o gave us a nice overview of colors used by different distros and suggested we try colors that are not used that often: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 87#p290287
Tango theme is considered an optional element, and the logo should not try to follow the Tango specs. The reason is that Tango themed stuff tend to look like icons rather than logos.
I have collected logos from lots of distros (364 of them to be precise) and posted them in a gallery for on-line viewing:
http://archlinux.team88.org/main.php?g2_itemId=13
You can also grab the whole bunch in a .zip file from here:
http://foxbunny.team88.org/arch/linuxlo … -logos.zip
Things to avoid:
1. penguins
2. overly complex designs
3. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 42#p290342
4. warm colors (people are generally okay with blue, whereas some people may show much resistance towards the red part of the spectrum: reds, oranges, browns, yellows)
5. @ symbol (already used by a different distro)
Color is subjective, so not every color works for everyone the same way as with you.
Just remembered something: FONTS. The current "archlinux" logotype uses a non-free font that cannot be used for many things people might like to use them for because of the licensing issues. You are free to find any alternative font if you think it would work better with your concept. However, designing the logotype is not a requirement. You may also design a logoless concept that uses only the logotype. But keep in mind that there are not many such designs in the Linux world. Examples of such designs in the IT world however are not few: IBM, HP, Microsoft, Solaris, Novell, Sony, NEC, etc. They all use a logoless approach with the exception of Novell, who uses "N" as a logo.

Help with logo importing?

hi,
trying to put my company's logo into motion. i have photoshop and i imported it into motion with no problems. everything is perfect about it except that the logo doesn't look good on the video.
the edges are crisp or clear on the logo while in motion.
i know it's a crisp good quality image when i import it. but for some reason when i import it into motion it doesn't look as good anymore. what can i do? please help me!!??

There could be some explanations for that. But first check the aspect ratio pixel settings in photoshop and compare that with your motion project settings. Then also check the output of your file on a TV screen, don't trust fully your computer screen. Also check your anti-aliasing setting. Depending on the final output (where it's going to reside, web site on DVD, ...etc) you may need to compress it and that will give you also a different result. If you are watching the result in your QT player, set the quality to high in the QT player settings before you review it. You may also want to choose to re-draw the logo in motion, that's another alternative, if nothing works for you.
See how you go. Good luck.

Help with logo size using illustrator and photoshop

hi everybdy, can somebody please explain to me how to know the right WIDTH, HEIGHT and PIXELS/INCHES when designing a business card, a post card, or a banner????????????????????????

I could be misunderstanding your question, but it seems to me that each logo application should be designed/sized on its own, according to the size of the document (3-1/2" x 2" on a business card for example). For a business card, make it look nice on the card. For a banner, make it look nice, within the (much larger) bounds of the banner size.
There is no "prescribed size" for each individual application. Each implementation of the logo should be sized according to the size of its document, what else is on the page with the logo, and what looks "good" to the designer (and the client). :+)
BTW, this is the Illustrator forum, and I suspect you were referring to pixels (?). For actual printed items using only AI vector art (such as a logo), pixels are irrelevant. (The vector artwork conforms to the resolution of the output device for each application, at the time it is imaged.) With the possible exception of web applications, send vector files (such as actual-sized pdf) to your print supplier.

Help with Logo and Banner (probably a really simple task)

This is most likely a very simple task...
I am new to DW -- I was asked to learn it by my employer.
Here's what I have done...
Created a container DIV
within container:
banner DIV
navigation DIV
left column DIV
Right Column DIV
Footer
An after thought was how I want to format the banner. I want to divide the banner div into a left and right column. Left side is the logo. Right side is the text.
Can someone lend me a hand or even offer a better solution?

Within the banner container div either float the logo left or the content right. No need to do both.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp
This is all depending on the amount of text and where you need it. If you have a fixed size container and need things in a specific position, you could forget the float and absolutely position the elements within the parent (banner) container.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
A word of advice though. Pick up Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator or similar graphics editing program first and draw up a prototype of the design before you start coding things. Make sure this is 100% (or at least 75%) sure what they want before you spend the time coding something. You can ignore this comment if you already have completed this step, but I just thought I would throw it out there anyways.

Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

hi friends,
i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
my requirement:
1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
process:
1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
thanks in advance, murashali.

hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
code:
Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
    TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
    CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
DO.
    lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
    APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
    CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
    SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
NOTE: problem i believe is with ''. i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table. here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space. so my logo is getting disturbed.
even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
can you give any idea...

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

Help with display settings needed urgently

Graphics and icons that are supposed to be round appear oval. For instance the Safari and App icons on the dock appear very oval. Logos on websites I've visited before and I know are round appear oval.
I've tried all display settings and nothing helps. I'm a designer and this is causing a major hinderance. Everything appears condenced / squashed sideways. I'd be very grateful if someone could help with this.
I've just purchased the laptop. I have been using Mac for a few years and I've always selected the "stretched" option from the Display settings which sorted out the problem completely. A circle looked a proper circle. But in this version the option is not available.
Badly hoping someone can help with this.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have selected an incorrect resolution. For starters, are you talking about your Air's display or an external display? You haven't said which Air you have. If you have an 11" model, make sure your display resolution is set to 1366x768. If you have a 13" model, it should be set to 1440x900. These are the proper resolutions for the built in displays. Chosing anything other than the referenced "native" display resolutions will result in distortions or clarity problems.

Can anyone help with a solution???

Can someone please help? My problem is that I bought my iPad mini just last week and now it's freezing half way through what I'm doing and it's also not saving any of my photos? Can anyone help with a solution???

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
What are you doing when it freezes?
How much Available storage space do you have? Go to Settings>General>About>Available
