Thread: cool site for designing buttons/logos

hello everyone,

Found this website, cooltext... just add the com after it as i am not able to post that

you can design logos and buttons free of cost here.

Really useful, just desinged a few buttons and then touched them up a bit with photoshop.

If you guys know any other web site like this, can you please tell me about it as well? I have to sometimes come up with buttons/logos.

Yeah, I have been to that site, it can be nice. I would download a trial of xara. its a ok program, cheap if I may put it.

I use that site regulary. It's quite good. If they have fonts good as flamingtext then it would be the best on the web.

Nice site , im not a big fan of flaming text anymore now that I know how to use photoshop i think flaming text sucks

well.. actually i dont have a lot of knowledge of photoshop thats y i have to use sites like these ......

inspiration are you talking about xara 3d?? yeah i have used that one loooong time back.. pretty good though i liked its gradient feature a lot :P

Yeah i agree before I used photoshop I used flaming text for all my graphic needs

Yeah, Xara, all of the programs are ok. I dont use them, I use Photoshop and Psp. Dreamweaver, Frontpage, Smartftp, ColorCop, Notepad, swish, Java Web Start, Msn Messanger . Nah, that I use for fun!

I'm not trying to put anyone down, but to be honest I think Cool text, flamingtext and etc. are great to beginners. The only downside is the fact that they are online generators, and you can only customize it so much. Almost any of those generated logos/text/buttons looks almost the same.

I am not a big fan of it because I like to see unique designs. Be creative and design your own texts,buttons and etc.. it would give you much more respects. If you need help on graphic softwares, download the trail version of Adobe Photoshop, its the best program of its type In my opinion. Also you can try Paint Shop Pro. PSP isn't as great as PS but its work the look.

Yea that is true. I use PS mainly because I know more of PS than PSP. Thats probably why I think PS is better..just my 2 cents.

Yeah, most think ps is better, I tend to go both ways, it makes a difference with what i'm doing.

Really? I'm trying to deside which to get. What are the things things PS is better at doing and what are the things PSP is?

PS? Lets see here. They have much some awesome Filters just much more features. Check out PS7 or PS CS..

I guess this site could be useful, but I think you can make a lot better, high quality graphics.

ohh.. PS is definitely better... i mean yeah i have used it a lot more then any other image editing software.. thats way i too think that it is better.... guess i know its interface a bit more so i prefer it more.....

PSP is good at making backgrounds, small images, where I find PS good at making image effects, styles, add ins, that kind of stuff. I just use which ever I feel will make my image look better.

Most of graphics on net made by PS.

Oh, thanks everyone!I think I'll try to get PS. I'll just need to save up for it.
until then I guess I'll use a free image editor that can use PS fillters.

Welp.. You maybe saving a while. Adobe Photoshop CS is $649 (USD)

Wow that's expensive. Do you have it?

i dont think you can do that, xara 3d is a pay software, however you can download a 15 day trial from their website at www.xara.com or you can try download.com
