Photoshop 3d Logo
Shay Silvertooth
I am trying to resize my logo for the web but so far I have not been seeing the result that I want to. It was in a vector format first (AI) and then it was converted to PSD. I then used the image resize option to resize it. This is how my logo looks in Photoshop:
Bicubic - There are actually 3 versions of this interpolation method in Photoshop: the stock version, and a sharper and softer version. All 3 are similar to bilinear resampling but use a 4x4 px grid, and instead of just using the derivative of a linear function to calculate the color value at the new point, it uses a cubic spline to obtain a smooth continuous function. The effect of this is that the color transitions are smoother and less choppy. This is not always a good thing (e.g. when you want to preserve hard color boundaries), but in general it's the more "accurate" interpolated image.
Bicubic Sharper is recommended for reductions, since shrinking large images down to a small size tends to blur the images and require sharpening (as many icon designers will attest to).
I deal with this all the time. My company has an "O" in it's logo and it "flat tires" when you resize it. This seems to be fixed in Photoshop CC (maybe CS6 also), particularly with the new image referencing feature.
The issue is, that my clients are sending me images of varying aspect ratios. So while each image will in maximum be either 800px high or wide, it can vary in the respective other side. (for example one might be 800 px x 450 px another 800 px x 600 px - you name it)
But no matter what I do the 'place logo' can never hit the -36px/-36px from the bottom right corner cause Photoshop will look at where I placed the logo instead: x: 564 y: 764 but since the image size varies, if an image isn't wide enough I might find, that the logo has been cut off from the image, cause it's not as wide as the image I recorded the action in...
I assume there might be a solution over some kind of script: if I can get photoshop to shove the image in the furthest right corner of each image, and then subtract the -36 /-36 px from its position.
But I don't know if that's possible or how...
Photoshop will now process all of the images in the selected folder, adding the logo in the same position and size that you specified in the action. Since the logo is on a separate layer, it will be added without altering the original image.
How it goes with @Stephen_A_Marsh suggestion to record action? Do you have any problems? Ensure that View > Rulers are set to Pixels when moving logo after aligning it to bottom right corner then performing -36px move.
There are assumptions being made, I'll admit. Marika gave pixel dimentions so I made adjustments based on that. Defining the move and adding px after the number should bypass how the rulers are set. In the examples I didn't adjust rulers to reflect pixels. I think it should work.
hi, I installed PS express on my iPad, and edited some pictures. However after saving them an PS express logo is automaticaly added to the picture, which makes the program useless for me. I just noticed that logo after i edited several pictures.
Hi all, I am also very upset and disappointed. I love this app and use it several times/day. I cannot use it with the logo on it. I am ok advertising the app with some photos, but I need the ability to quickly and easily remove the logo. If this is an ongoing issue I will unfortunately be forced to use another app & I do not want to.
I am having the same issue in Photoshop Express Premium. I turned it off in settings and again whjen I was sharing it, but it appears anyway. It is very annoying and I don't know who would continue to use it with the logo. I am an amature and not going into the business so I definitely don't want to advertise a product that I am paying for.
Fresco can help you achieve realistic visual effects, which are beyond the effects created using conventional approaches of creating a logo. You can use Fresco to create effects with watercolor or oil live brushes. Use a large collection of pixel brushes to add textures, depths and highlights, and to give a human touch to the logo.
Create a solid shape using vector brush and the Fill tool. Use the layer options in Fresco to mask contents of layers for the shape. By creating a mask, you can prepare a container of the shape to fill water colors without bleeding out of the edges.
We've got you started with pixel and live brushes in Adobe Fresco. The interface of Adobe Fresco is intuitive; we hope you will find it easy to unleash your creativity with layers, brushes, masking, and more.
I understand that Adobe Illustrator is better for making logos because they can be re-sized to any size. I also understand that Adobe Photoshop is better for actually cutting/adding effects to photos.
Should I create/add effects to my photo in photoshop and then import the logo as a stamp from AI (or something like that)? Or should I do the project in AI by importing the photo I edited from photoshop?
Your logo isn't just a decorative element, it's the face of your brand, your identity. It's what sets you apart from the crowd, but crafting a stunning logo isn't always easy, especially if you're a design rookie. Not to worry, though!
Before diving into the world of Photoshop, some careful preparation will set you on a clear path. This process, essential for nailing down your brand visual identity, encompasses everything from understanding your brand's essence to mining for inspiration.
Brainstorm logo ideas: Write down what comes to your mind when you think about your brand. They don't have to be just words - doodles, shapes, patterns will all do. This will help you come up with potential logo designs.
Choose a style direction: Different styles evoke different feelings. A minimalistic style might signal sophistication, while a hand-drawn style could suggest authenticity and warmth. Pick a style that aligns with your brand's identity.
Guided sketching: Now is the time to put pen to paper. Don't worry about getting it perfect right away; just let your ideas flow. Remember, this is just a draft that can be refined later in Photoshop.
Get feedback: Seek feedback on your preliminary designs from your peers or potential customers. This could illuminate facets of your design that you may not have considered and can provide critical insight into the effectiveness of your concept before you move to digital design.
With the groundwork laid, let's dive into the actual creation process of your logo in Photoshop. Follow these simple, structured steps to transform your conceptual visions into reality, even if you're an absolute beginner.
In Photoshop, create a new file that's typically 800 x 800 pixels for a good, scalable logo. From here, you can explore Photoshop's workspace. Familiarize yourself with the tools panel, options bar, and layers panel since these are essential in logo design.
Start by selecting the shape tool from the toolbar - rectangle tool, for instance. Shape tools offer a wide range of architectural shapes like rectangles, ellipses, polygons and custom shapes. You can draw a basic shape using the Pen tool and eventually experiment with complex shapes to add depth to your logo design.
The choice of your shape should resonate with the personality of your brand. For instance, circular shapes often suggest community and unity, while straight-edged shapes like squares and triangles imply stability and balance.
After you've nailed the logo shape, it's time for the fun part: adding color and texture. Colors hold great significance, resonating with different emotions and meanings, so choose thoughtfully. If your brand already has an established color palette, incorporate those into your logo. If not, do research on color psychology before making a decision.
A crucial part of your logo is the text. It's not just about choosing the right words but also the right font style, size, color, and placement. After you've designed your shape, it's time to add text. In the tool palette, select the 'Text tool', then click on the canvas and start typing.
Photoshop offers a wide array of fonts; choose one that aligns with your brand's personality. Don't shy away from experimenting with the size, color, and tilt for maximum impact. Remember, consistency is key, so ensure the text style aligns with the whole design.
This is where your vision starts to take shape, and your logo begins to speak. It's all about tweaking and fine touches. Look at your logo critically. Does it pass the 'five-second' rule? This means, can it be recognized and its purpose understood in a quick glance? If not, it's time to tweak.
Now that you've grasped the fundamentals of crafting a logo in Photoshop, let's dive deeper. Here are some extra tips that can take your logo design from good to great. These principles, though simple, are often neglected but can be game-changers in visual communication.
Overcomplicated logos can be visually overwhelming and difficult to reproduce in smaller sizes. A great logo is distinctive, appropriate, and memorable. It should be simple enough to be recollected at a glance yet unique enough to make a strong impression.
When designing your logo, it's vital to draw a stark line between being inspired by a design and outright copying it. We all appreciate creativity and originality, so aim to create an original piece that reflects your unique brand identity.
Certainly, look for inspiration in all corners, but ensure your design doesn't morph into a replica of someone else's logo. Instead, cherry-pick elements you admire and remix them into something distinctively yours.
