1202059 2011-05-14 07:33:00 I would like to ask if anyone here is adept at some program to put a small logo together for me .

I have all the elements, but I don't have PhotoShop, and GIMP is confusing as all get out .

It's sizing and position and a slight overlay that's messing with me . Can anyone offer a little help for me?

:thanks

1202060 2011-05-14 08:01:00 I was a member of the overclockers Australia forums and remember loads of people doing logos / graphic design etc for a small fee.

Someone would start a thread such as 'design me a logo for my business' and offer $100 or so for a winning entry. Loads of people would have a go and there were some pretty professional results.

1202064 2011-05-14 15:47:00 Nah - not commercial in any way .

I'm building a bass guitar and I want to put a logo on the headstock that is my own, and not put a Fender or any other non-realistic logo there .

What I'm building is a hybrid of a 1955 Fender Precision or Tele-Bass with upgraded and modern pickups and hardware, but still keeping the shape although that will be modernized too with more sculpturing and softened lines .

I tried my hand at building one already, and affixed an old Fender logo to it, but it's not 'penguin' if you know what I mean .

Here's the body I cut::

Here's the headstock after about 20 coats of clear polyurethane::

I used gold plated hardware for this one, and here's a back shot of the neck plate and some of the soft patine-shine to the wood after it was finished::

Some pickup adjustments needed here but this is how it basically lookes::

Somebody has forecast tornadoes down in Beetleburg and Metlaville. Still, we know what forecasts are.
