Logo Development Talk

Great, I was expecting the harshness and was surprised by the warmness and the calm feel on the eyes. Much better!

Thanks a lot! Yea, the logo was pretty much the only thing I did in photoshop. Nothing too fancy, used PS's pen tool to create the curves and then created a shape which I duplicated and flipped vertically. Then I laid a background on that, and then cut up and cropped up some pictures to add there to give it that Smith look and finally I added the text.

If you were wondering about the fonts, found them over at dafont.com which is a site which hosts thousands of fonts for use in anything such as photoshop, web design, or whatever you may need them for. The other stuff, such as the category strips or the table headers, I took straight from the KSB wood pages' backgrounds and rotated them and/or scaled them to the size I wanted.

I'm glad you guys are liking the new skin

Looks nice Mike. Thx!

Mike,

Nice look. I was away for a couple of weeks and logged in this morning. A bit of a shock on my sleep deprived brain, but I like it much better than the default. I wonder what else I missed?
