Hi people i drew this is flash from a photo (attached) but i can’t seem to formulate an idea for a good logo. I tried putting it into cirlce which would look cool, but didn’t really work. I like the sillouette and think it is powerful. I think the best way would be to make it metallic. I tried to do that i photoshop but it didn’t work, because the image can be pasted from flash, but it not on a transparent background which doesn’t help. Ideas? ---

the same process of selcting the area is the same for your image as it is for the text. I recommend going through a tut of 2 then you can try and throw your own steps in there for your image. I think you can do it. After all that is how you learn ---

alucard… we’ve been through this… creating a chrome effect for that vector image should be exactly the same as for the lettering… except, instead of typing and then selecting, you just magic wand the shape.
