Forum Logo Needed (CLOSED)

[attachment=110]OK, I have this one now, the 1927 florin.  Images courtesy of PPH.
If a real coin is used, I'm thinking one with a simple design such as the Kangaroo at Sunset would be better for this style because complex detail is not discernible at this size, at least not by me.-John
[attachment=113]Another one.  Image courtesy of PPH.
I promise I'll stop for a while.-John

[attachment=117]Another tact.  My last one for a while (until I think of something else).  Image courtesy of PPH-John.

We had a logo designed for one of our businesses, not being graphically minded at all we paid for those skills of someone else. I think coin pics in everyone's eyes are beautiful, maybe we need to find a font and layout of that font that works. Just overlaying that on a few really pretty coin pics would look great.

99 design contests

For The Purple Penny branding I chose a font and that font is essentially the logo, the coin backdrop can be easily changed.

Just thoughts...

I've been tinkering but have'nt found the right font yet,this is one i was muckin around with,it looks pretty cool but by the time you shrink it down the font would be barely visible,i'll keep tinkering.


Take 2


Unfortunately when you shrink it to the specs required it does''nt work too well LOL

[attachment=134]This font called AR Berkeley written in bold has possibilities.
I've already ruled out Broadway, Old English, and Edwardian.
Castellar is a hollow character font that might work, but it comes up as all upper case when printed, and it doesn't handle red color well..

[humpybong]

Some good ideas....my problem is that it only covers coins.

Maybe the forum should have been called:


   "The Australian Numismatic Forum"


:idea:

[accumulator]

This looks OK ,how do you make it a Gif though ? I think i'm wasting my time really,i think i'll leave it those more competent computer wise people & go back to :read: ing & posting normal pics.:haha:

[triplewitch]

If I can come up with a design, there are other people who can make it happen.
It can't hurt to throw the ideas out.  Don't let the fact that you can't fully implement them deter you.-John

[markn]

If you come up with the idea and can't make a GIF or a transparent background do not despair, I can take your idea and do those things for you.  And steal all your glory:drinks:

[triplewitch]

[attachment=138]I like that one.  Here's the same thing in a different font. Jpeg only,-John

[purplepennyhunter]

I've been having a fiddle in paint.net Not as easy as one would think.....
It's ridiculously small...
And faded the background

I saw this on another site:
What do YOU collect?

By collectors for collectors..? has this been done

Just to be naughty..

Anyway if you can think of something cool, ill go with it.
 Also do you want a specific font or colour?
I can do most of the basic stuff with wording, and use any pics that you submit. Don’t ask me to take my own pics tho my equipment inst good enough for good quality pics.
Heres a few more ideas and key words

After my efforts this afternoon on a logo, I'm not sure you can fit anything decent in 248 x 82pix.

[triplewitch]

Perhaps a hand-drawn silhouette of some kind, person, building, whatever, on the left or right overlooking the wording or slightly overlaid on its side by wording.  Google 'Alfred Hitchcock silhouette' to see what I am talking about.-John
