admin, here are some quick ones -- can do some more if you like. I have to rush to the shower and get going now.

My advice is to keep the forum logo simple, using a less elaborate font. If there are too many curves, then the text may look a little bit jaggedy - because of the transparency - like the rendering of the current logo on the background.

I presume you want to have the ability of changing the background from time to time and keep the logo constant?

Another one -- PS. I can take out the drop shadow if the white pixels interfere with the background.

when you do transparent text at such a small scale it gets all jagged, but if you have old eyes who cares, right? :lol:

Fuzz, I tried those 4 but the drop shadow is screwing them up. Can you try one without the drop ?

Canuck, your idea has merits though maybe the grandient background behind the text and the photo for the rest of the head.

It looks as if Singapore is going to be the location for the remake of The Fog

Nice work admin..... like the new logo.
Wonder if you can somehow fix the join so there's not so much of a noticeable line there....

Now what was that about giving the photog credit? :)

yeah, looked at that join. Seeing it's wrapping I need to work out how to blend it better. My PS skills are very weak.

How much and what sort of credit would you like ?

yeah, saw it canuck but you've blended the buildings too. I'm hoping to get just the sky blended together as there is no real discernable line through the building.

Here you go ... I put a black border around the text to ease the jaggedy look.

Admin - try the middle one on Fuzz's latest selection :mrgreen:

Edit: What's happening? Are they on a rotation or something?

Looks good on a white background, but far too many ziggy zaggy jaggy bits when put against the photo

k, thanks Fuzzy

Blue border is my problem. Fuzz, can you trim that image as well ? 90px height seems too big. 70 would be better

cannot lah, needs to be a transparent.

But it's good in the format she has it for the subsequent voting. I think we've all agreed on the background so now it's a logo comp based on that background.
