Default Graphics???????

I am wanting to update my company logo, but I am the least artistic person on the planet. Is there anyone out there that would like to play around with it?


I have done a few different versions, but I don't want to post them on here due to the policies of advertising on this site.

This the oldest version I have on the computer, updated maybe 1999 or 2000

The older versions were lost on an unbacked up harddrive that failed

I started playing with this the other day with paint.net

then this

then I did this

upgrade to this

and now this

The basic CT&T has been what our business has revolved around since 1984, so I don't want to stray from it to far, but I would like something fresh and more modern.

Sorry if you have seen this on my facebook.

Any thoughts?

OH, the reason for doing this is for t-shirts and window stickers that I am hoping to have made soon.

Particular color's you want to use. Do you want the full address and phone number or just phone number? Round, circle, square? Want something that has a transparent background when it gets printed?

Traditionally, the colors have been grey or silver and red. But, I realize with the modernization, that might get thrown out the window for something that looks sharp.

I would like the transparent background for the ability to screen print some t-shirts.

It needs to have the web address and phone number on it, but the address doesn't have to be on it if can't be worked into it cleanly.

A friend made this for me, and then his MAC died. Also, when my Dad retired and I took over, the business name changed.





That became this

He lost it when his MAC died, taking out his external harddrive with it. The guy that created the graphic that worked for him quit. I am not able to replicate anything near that level.

We tried cropping it down, but the stupid windows logo stays behind my logo and it looks stupid. Not to mention the name is wrong.

The guy that created it, left his wife and kids and ran off with some woman he met in a bar.

Just made this for a friend.

If I keep playing with it, I might be able to recreate what I am wanting to begin with.
