I have looked at all the 'Free' Graphics things on T web and cant find what I want...basically I would like to create a logo for my new venture (K2 Contracts Ltd.) and have an idea of what I want it to look like .... I want a bold typeface and the logo to have a large 'K' with the no '2' attached by the hook of the 2 to the upward diagonal element of the K. The letter K itself I want to have arranged so that the vertical element is high enough to be level with the top of the 2 and is in itself a block of colour against the black of the rest of the symbol. I would want to have the block dark jade green, turquoise, yellow, or red (for various activities we may undertake) then the words Contracts Ltd. in bold black italic running horizontaly below the 2 .... Anyone even willing to have a go?...

I am not any good at this kind of thing but the effort above is me mucking around in MS paint to try to come up with something....

I have the software to do it, but I'm rubbish at it

Maybe pm Kosmic and ask him really nicely?

I did that in Powerpoint.

If you create what you want in there, you can get it into a jpg (or send it to me and I can do it) easily enough.

Trev, use PowerPoint and get the individual charachters in indivdual text boxes how you want them then move them together and use the "send to back" function.

Take a screen print (Print Scrn button) and paste it into MS Paint then just cut out the bit you want for the logo. Thats how I did it.

Its basic, but it works.

ginge your last post with the 2 in the k was used by a very successful company in northampton for many years they were kitchens and bathrooms, but the logo was almost identical. let me know if you are still looking for somthing and i will have a play, i am haunted by the t shirts im making at the moment, just over 100 of them and still going strong http://www.fatmaggot.com/shop/category.php?id_category=38 so would welcome a diversion for a while lol

Think this was closer to what you asked for,

Dryrobs look very clean clear and professional

I know the colours arn't right - but having the triangle in it references it to the mountain

My vote goes to KK - best design by far - neat and clean with the company name very clear

Its a close run thing this Rob's and KK's are really appealing yet there's aspects of them all which appeal...while I had thought the colour element should be in the upright of the K I like the way they have used background - If Robs K2 were sat in KK's background with 'K2 contracts Ltd.' the way KK has done it..I think it would be pretty much parfait.. What do you guys think...should I have an all comers poll and a slab of beer to the winner?...Admins is that ok?

I reckon it would be MUCH better with a slab of beer to Admin...

Crash on Trev, and guid luck with it all.
