How can I make me a dj logo :eek:
Learn how to use GIMP, it's free and pretty powerful considering that it is free.
yea i had that in mind but all the fonts are just so plain is there anyway I can get better fonts
yeah, google free fonts... the first site that pops up is what i use
I'll show you my recently created laptop skin/logo. Made with photoshop
There are loads of free fonts on the internet. Also if you Google "GIMP tutorials" there are loads of free guides on the internet that will also suggest some respectable fonts.
thanks btw how do i install the fonts im on a mac
I get all my fonts from deviant art. check it yo. http://www.deviantart.com/#catpath=r.../fonts&order=5
were can i find a font like the "inStereo"

Looks like a pretty standard sort of font, with a little perspective shift and some 3d filters added, but hey i'm no expert :p
there is a website (but cant remember the address) where you upload a sample image of the font you want to find and it gives you the closest result possible... do some googling :-)
the "in stereo" is just helvetica with the interior spaces filled in and the letter spaces are tighter than normal. Try to steer clear of free fonts online. There are a lot of good ones but many of the decorative fonts just come off as cheesy and tacky. You're better off hand drawing whole thing and then just tracing it in adobe illustrator. That way you can have a fully custom look.
www.whatthefont.com is the one that you mean ;).Quote:

Just try and make some graphic designer friends.
First post on DJTT!
^^^ Welcome to DJTT! When it comes to making logos, less is more, imo.
I made this logo for myself in about 10 minutes. It's nothing special, but it's better than nothing.

you need to go to fonts in system prefrences and add all the new fonts you want and all the programs that use fonts will recognize them, designing a good logo is about simplicity and just enough color to catch the eye.Quote:

lets try this again lol.
this is all based on my experience.
i just got my logo done with the help of a friend and my gf. i would say try looking for some graphic design students (guy i used went to the art institute). they're usually very cheap and have decent work. my guy gave us three completely different versions of our logo for 20 bucks
for something like a logo, you should probably hire a graphic designer. or make friends with graphic design student or someone fresh out of school who will do pro bono work for you as many will when they are developing their portfolios/networks.
fortunately the dj community is full of graphic designers so this shouldn't be difficult. it seems like atleast 25% of the djs on this forum are designers or design students, myself included lol.
Nerds! hehehe *has photoshop open*
Here are some nice NON Dj logos... just for inspiration

I'm just gonna put this out there cause the worst thing is when you've 100% committed to something and then someone says it after...
The symbol looks a little bit like a cock and balls...
Maybe you're playing with that idea for fun... which is pretty funny
If you're not i just thought i'd say...
I really like the style of it when it's all spelt out but the symbol on its own... a bit cock and balls imo.
have you tried what an 'ep' looks like?
Mx1
imo it's a very nice design and I like it but it's very hard to read if you don't know it means 'Ed Paris'. Got it ?
never thought about cock and balls and it doesnīt really seem to me like this but yeah tried the ep thing but the dp looked way betterQuote:

LOLz... dp reminds me of a band I'd use to sing in, called 'das proch'
Used to have a cool logo... Let's see if I can find it somewhere.....
that was probably a font that someone put in a 3d modeling program and made it look that way.
that's a rendered 3d image, pretty simple work in 3dsmax + photoshop for the grunge effectQuote:
