Thread: Logo Design

Ok guys I have decided to go with a different name. Just felt right for some reason lol. What do you think?

Picture Element is another word for 'Pixel.' I just thought it made sense too as my company is all about designing graphics!

Do you do sketches before hopping into Illustrator? Do you use Illustrator not Photoshop?

Sketches first..then Illustrator to create the flat images or text and then photoshop to add effects and colour...why?

I was just curious.
You can create all the effects in Illustrator you know? Just saves going into Photoshop, and it means you can retain your vector format for large scale versions of the work etc :)

I know...just my preference. So what do you think of the logo lol?

If you're looking at setting yourself up as a company you should really get to grips with doing the full thing in Illustrator, allows for scalability etc. In Photoshop, you wouldn't be able upscale it very well.

As for that logo, again it comes down to scalability? It looks like there's some sort of Bevel and Emboss on the P and E? Which wouldn't be effective any smaller than that size there. Also, that background is fairly distracting.

The background was supposed to be lots of pixels. If I made them smaller would they still be distracting? Here is what it looks like without background:

My opinion and please don't take this the wrong way is if you are going to be offering logo design as a paid service then you should have a better understanding of logo design, in your last 2 threads you have had quite basic problems pointed out to you. I understand that it can be difficult designing your own logo but are you going to be asking all these questions for each job you get?

I like the name.
