I don't know how to do it. But Art 2 Vector is a NAPP member. It is like 12.00 for them to do it for you.

Adobe Illustrator is the preferred program for logo creation. Inkscape is a free open source alternative. Converting logos from raster to vector will not produce good results. Raster logos are a no no. Why? What happens if/when you need to enlarge your logo to a couple of feet for say a sign or banner? When you scale up that 2 inch by 4 inch logo that you created in PS it blows apart and becomes jagged. Or you would have had to create it in such a high resolution that the file size would be astronomical.
Here's some info.

Also... When designing a logo you need to think through what happens with color and gradients when applied to different mediums.

Just the tip of the iceberg of why a GOOD graphic designer is a wise investment.

Janice -

Here's some screen captures and a quick example using one of the brushes.

I use CS4, but I believe you can change your brush styles in older versions of PS. Another way is to go to the Window drop down, select "brushes" or F5, and then in the upper right corner of the popup window choose the drop down selection to choose another brush style or create your own brushes.

Hope this helps.

If it's the identity of your company, get a pro to do your logo. Designing your own logo is like the equivalent of using your friend with an SLR to shoot you wedding, particularly if you're unaware of what vector is or looking at wikipedia for . No offense intended. OP, this is not directly at you, but for all the forum.

Your logo will be used so much, and in some cases will be seen without any images. It critical that it be stellar, as it will single handedly communicate the professionally and intent of your company. Nothing communicates bad services and a bad business more than a bad logo. Often times, the business is wonderful, but that's just how people judge. ..a book by it's cover.

Of course, I'm speaking from a professional and businessman perspective. If you're not a pro, and you're unwilling do have a pro design your logo, and you will not be using a logo on disks, websites, letter heads, envelopes, business cards and other stationary, then why even have a logo?

No logo is better than a bad logo. And I'm sorry to say, but a logo made from a free script font, or really any free font found on the internet is almost always going to be a bad logo.
