Thanks ahead.

Redo how? Any graphics editor will probably do, and there's freebies like Gimp and Google's Picasa. what you need?

Gif is for a phpbb forum I like to redo it so I can put another name on it. My Company. I email you for the gif and the name I wish on it, let me know if you can do it or not.

GIMP if you are looking for free photoshop.
GIF's are bitmap images that are comprised of pixels; depending on how extensive your changes are and how picky you are, you may have to edit pixel-by-pixel. GIMP can help you with that.

I been playing with it "Paint" but it has a lot of colors on it. Brighter on the bottom darker on the top.

Can you post it so I can see?
I'm not sure I can help, but it would be great to know what we're talking about.

Ok here's the gif, need to remove all those letters and but DVRBLACKBOX, Inc. on it. It can be wider for the company name, not taller.

I'm assuming that's not it. Anyways, if you get me the correct image I can help.

So you are saying you want the green 'glass' look with your companies name on it?

You best bet is to start from scratch.

Or, if you can wait, I can send you something tomorrow... Or maybe another Polkie can help you sooner. I just have to put my kid in bed and spend some time with my wife... I'll be too tired to work on it tonight.

Let me know.

edit: Or Demi... I think we both have made a living working with graphics, if I'm not mistaken...

Start over oh NO.................


See this site, the logo is done. Been done not doing over.... The forum can be just the name I don't think the logo will work at all. The gif if you download the picture the size is correct. I just wish a name to bring you back to the main page from the forum.

You misunderstand; I meant just the button... Trying to erase out all the letters, what with their white 'glow' on a 'glossy' green glass background will be... difficult.

It would be easier to just rebuild a green glass background and put new letters on it.

I'm not saying rebrand your self; I'm saying rebuild that button.

disneyjoe7

Sorry yes I didn't understand what you tried to say. I looked and could find the background file, so I not sure what I need to replace what file

disneyjoe7

Well I see that was no easy task, thanks everyone for looking into it I really do appreciate it. Seeing this was very difficult I changed the forums page to something which looking better with the logo.

Well, if you still need it done or need a quick graphic created, let me know- I'm on medical leave from my work place at a design firm until next week, and while I have a few projects of my own, a quick one for a polkie ain't gonna hurt me.

Demiurge

Yes, with things like that it's best to start over.

Here:



I realize that's too big, so let me know what size you want it.

Demiurge

Here's a smaller one. It's not the same dimensions as the original logo you posted, but it's the same width and the height is proportional to it.

disneyjoe7

Thanks Demi, I have to give this some thought. What do you think about the forum now? Without the glass-green thing.

Demiurge

It's better without it. Although, if you did want to use something like that I wouldn't have it be green. It would be some hue of blue or all black/white to match the current color scheme.

disneyjoe7

I think the logo on the main page and forum is better then not to have them the same. I did the glass-green thing as someone liked it, but I also had issue's with a link back to the main page if you clicked on the logo. I couldn't for do with with the glass-green.
