Bored, tired, and mellowing out to music. Bit of a different style then I am used to, but something I have wanted to try for a while. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/10/facepunchgraphicdesign.png/][IMG]http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8489/facepunchgraphicdesign.png[/IMG][/URL]

What's a good place to do printing for cheap in the US? I'm doing some business cards. I really only need greyscale if it costs less.

[QUOTE=Baugher117;32095615]What would you improve? I came here for opinions and I got it. What needs improved?!?![/QUOTE] Text and background, To me it looks like bevel and emboss on the background and that text just seems to bulky.. go for something nicer like sans serif
[QUOTE=xianlee;32095728]Text and background, To me it looks like bevel and emboss on the background and that text just seems to bulky.. go for something nicer like sans serif[/QUOTE] Thanks for the recommendations. I'll repost them once I make changes.
Try a glossy background on the smaller one to [that's on the mw2 image]
[QUOTE=xianlee;32095565]Ugly as hell[/QUOTE] Which one did you not like the most? Was it the Baugher117 Studios, the wallpaper, or the avatar photo.
[QUOTE=Baugher117;32095997]Which one did you not like the most? Was it the Baugher117 Studios, the wallpaper, or the avatar photo.[/QUOTE] they're all sort of bland imo
[QUOTE=RedStar;32096048]they're all sort of bland imo[/QUOTE] I don't have very much to work with. I used Inkscape. I got Photoshop Elements but I'm still learning how to use it.
Yeah, If it's supposed to be a logo you should use Illustrator Something like this I quickly did can look 100x better then what you have done, because the simplicity of it [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/RjGTQs.png[/img]

You don't mind if I use the picture for my stuff? I really like it!
Be my guest :)
Here's my updated banner. I think I need to tone down the blue a little bit. [IMG]http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa466/Baugher117/websiteheadertest4.png[/IMG] And here is my updated wallpaper. [IMG]http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa466/Baugher117/b117ytwp_edited-4.jpg[/IMG] I personally thank you xianlee for making the B117 image. =)
still terrible but suit yourself

I'm sorry I'm going to have to use though words with you but the whole thing is too... bland. Using arial as the font, that god-awful blue, what is Baugher117 Studios anyways? making a logo should not only be about the graphic part but also the branding, and believe me, that's a terrible name. maybe Baugher117 alone without that overused "Studios" tag is better, try playing with the letter spacing, with different colors, try applying the logo to different situations (backgrounds, vertical arrangement etc..) try using soft gradients, Experiment! You can even get inspiration from other logos, the important things is that you don't get stuck on a single idea, otherwise you'll never improve the logo.

Baugher117 Studios, it really sounds that terrible? I take video game trailers and mix them up and add my favorite music. (Sigh) Well I'll keep on working on it. I was trying to miminck xianlee's B117 picture but stretch it out with Baugher117 Studios (I only need it for my website). As I stated above I don't have access to the software I need to make good logos. I'm doing the best I can with what I got. P.S- The font wasn't Arial. It was Sans.

[QUOTE=MrWhite;32104719]Paint.NET Also, I've never heard of a font called Sans.[/QUOTE] I just figured that out. It's a font included with Inkscape.
