23-02-2006 1:25am#1Hey guys, I am trying to design a logo for my site and i am totally unsure of what to do for it!! I am ok at photoshop and i have designed some before... i want to be able to use the logo on posters, flyers etc.
The main colors for the website are maroon (dark red), white and shale (or dark gray) and its focused totally on Dundalk.
I have tried some very basic logos... see below but i don't know where to take these.. any help/inspiration would be greatly appreciated!
as i said... very basic, only to give an idea of the colour scheme etc....0

I'm no expert,clearly. I've learned some things though (Some 'the hard way',others through common sense) & more aimed at the technical aspects :
- It should be clear what the logo represents
- It should be kept simple
- It should also work/be recognisable in black&white
- It must work at both large and small sizes - For this reason specifically, I'd suggest Vectors rather than Bitmap (Illustrator may be a good move)
- Specifically, you'll want to be careful re: legibility when it comes to your chosen colours. Keep in mind that a lot of people are colourblind o rhave poor eyesight - contrast is essential. [There are programs and websites that will show you how an image looks to visually impaired people. But for now: change the mode to Greyscale in Photoshop for the above images to get a rough idea how they work without colour.]
That aside: I quite like the one on the left.
