I've been tinkering again,just playing around basically LOL.

One of the problems markn threw at me yesterday is that whatever design is no good if you can't read it at the 248 x 82 pixels size. The smaller bottom text just becomes mush.

nice penny btw

edit: hmm, maybe it all becomes mush.

O cool, makes me wish I had my old Photoshop program I could do anything with that.
Alas Photoshop takes up 900MB and the old computer just can’t handle that sort of usage at a time.
Still can whip up some cool stuff with the basic programs, just no 3d or fancy graphics from me old designing days.
Man I miss custom font and custom paintbrushes, layers and the nifty pen tool.
:whistle2:

Heres one with a solid background, jpeg

This photo editting thing is quite entertaining.,you can do some pretty nifty stuff,it's just a shame it becomes mush when you shrink it.

Awww! Knights of The Coin Table sounds like an awesome name!

I wish we could be called something amazing over here... we can't exactly say we're an 'Australian Coin'.

Can't we keep the website url the same and rename it?! lol

Maybe I should check to see if the logo can be bigger.  I just got the dimensions from the default logo that this forum came with.  There's some good efforts in here btw.

Its a Logo. No text is required. Here's an example, lifted from the net and trimmed down. Sufficiently modified from the original that copyright is not an issue, or we can shoot our own starting image. Point is, this is more the direction we should be looking at.

Oh, and for the people playing with fonts... follow the professionals, and stick with Helvetica.

Quite a few of us have been working on this in good faith.  It is a collabrative effort.  There's no reason to denigrate any of our contributions.  The idea of anyone is as good as anybody else's.  
We have found that there are problems with both text and no text logos when reduced to 248x82 pixels.  I think anyone with an idea should continue to pursue it.  Constructive suggestions to improve previous ideas or leading to new ideas would be welcome.
I don't have access to Helvetica, so I can't comment on that one way or another.-John

So instead of working for the last 30 minutes I was fiddling with the forum templates and I've managed to get it working with a bigger logo.  I chose a standard 728x90 pixel size.  In the interests of not confusing everyone I've locked this thread and created a New and Improved Logo Thread.

Thanks for all the efforts to date, head over to the new thread and post away.  A free cookie to the winner!
