Hi All

I wondered if anyone might be able to design an image for me?

What I want is the word “sports†with ideally a piece of sporting equipment as each of the letters i.e. “O†a football and perhaps “S†as a deformed cricket bat.

Failing that â€" if it is too hard- perhaps a fill of the letter with images of a piece of equipment (i.e. tennis balls for one, cricket balls for another)

The font style is not that relevant- whichever looks best!

The simple way would be to get a picture of each, make the pictures very small and make them tiled of sorts then cut out a letter from each piece of equipment.

I'll do it for you in two Thursday's time if you want. I'm really busy with exams at the moment

Sorry, my explanation of how to do it is really **** but in my mind I know how it can be done so if you can wait a week and a half, I'll be glad to do it for you

thanks

I will give it a shot, but what sort of size are you looking at? Also do you want a background or just text??

Hi guys

No background....

I will give it a shot, but what sort of size are you looking at? Also do you want a background or just text??

Ok, give me a day or two. This isn't as straight forward as I thought.

Here's v1 /\ & below is v1 with bevel \/

Was hard to get it at your size, so I made it wider. Any changes you want made, let me know.

That looks really good gjohn!

 

[christoc]

WOW- thats absolutely brilliant!
was it difficult to do?

as i might use this on a site i dont think ill be allowed to have images of companys logos!
could you explain to me how you did it?

thanks

I used a Honda replica font in the word 'sports' so I can change that also if you want me to.

I used Adobe Photoshop CS2 to do that logo. I was finding it hard to get the images inside the text, but I found a tutorial on the net to do it easier. The tutorial I used was here. I just used that technique on each image, it was just a case of resizing the image to fit inside the text.

the font is cool

cheers- ill check out that link and maybe ill be able to do it myself!

I got that font from dafont site. The majority of the fonts are free, just check on the right hand side of a particular font, it'll say free. To load fonts (that will work programs like Photoshop, MS Word etc), Download them to a folder in My Documents, extract the font, copy it, then go to Start>Control Panel>Fonts. Paste the font into the Fonts folder, you only need to paste the font.



Good luck.
