Title: ATTN: Geek Squad
Post by: AFK on September 09, 2009, 07:08:06 PM
Where do I find a free logo-making program on the interwebz?  I need to make me a logo.  It's gotta be vectorized, whatever that means.

Known and noted.

No, but seriously, someone must know where I can find me some logo-making thing-a-ma-bob.  Anyone?

Logo as in motto/tagline for a product/company or logo as in picture depicting said product/company?

Have no idea if they're "vectorized"...

a vector image is one that can be scaled to any size.

In a JPG, the file contains the coordinates of every splotch of color. In a vector image, the file contains the basic relationships between all the points so it can change size without losing resolution.

http://www.says-it.com/ we've used this logo generator before to do some cool stuff, but it can't output to vector. You usually need a special program to make vector graphics.


http://vectormagic.com/home - this website claims it can convert images to vector images, but I couldn't speak to how well it works

Okay, thanks I'll see what I can do with those.  The program I run with the kids has never had a logo, at least, not one I can find anywhere.  We're going to order these backpacks to give away at this years trainings in the woods.  But, I need to come up with some kind of logo-thingy to put on the front.  The company has offered to design one for me but I think I want to take a crack at it first.  I'm a control freak like that.

the last time we linked to says-it, the admin showed up and said Hi. He was also real cool about adding Discordian and Subgenii logos to their library. So that's why I dig that one.  :p

remember?

I usually use inkscape for vector art, its not specifically for logos though.
