Title: Inquiring about a squad logo
Post by: freespacegundam on March 26, 2005, 01:42:54 am
Could someone possibly make a squadron logo for a little side project I'll be working on soon?  I have absolutely no image editing programs beyond paint and photo editor.  The image would basically need to be some kind of ghostly apparition.  Its for the Phantom squadron.

And if this can not be done, could someone point me in the direction of a cheap editing program, and then instruct me on what I'm doing wrong when I try to make one?

Any help is appreciated.

Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/windows/) is free and I've heard some nice things about it.

Gimp is a very good program. Its just as powerfull as Photoshop if you know how to use it properly.

What do you want on the logo anyway?

Basically the image needs to be some type of ghostly apparition, i.e. a phantom.  Something dark and grim reaper is would be fine.

Oh, and on GIMP, how do you start the program?  I've installed it and everything and can't find an icon to run it?

lol. Well there should be one in the start menu somewhere, if not just goto the dir, and run the exe. ;)

If you need any help working the program I can prob lend a hand there too.
I had a look at it a while back. Its a good program, but if you've got photoshop... meh. :)

Tis very funny.  But I need something a bit more menacing.  That will only confuse the Shivans.

Yar, 'twould help if I downloaded both files, yar.

Must be. There are tribes in the darkest part of the Amazon who've played PacMan. They may have to play it with rocks and a live Jaguar because they don't have electricity but even so they've heard of it. :p
