How did you get it? I am in the process of trying to map out a plan of attack to start my business. First things first are the business cards. I have an idea of what kind of logo that I want but I don't know how I can find someone to bring to paper what ideas I have in my head or what site I can go to to try and put one together. Can anyone tell me how they came up with their logo and how they got it wheter it was via a business in your area over the internet an artistic friend. All of your help will be greatly appreciatied. Thanks

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW TO, I AM ALSO TRYING TO GET ALL MY DUCKS IN A ROW, SO WHEN MY LITTLE ONE STARTS SCHOOL I CAN GO FULL BLAST ON "MY BUSINESS" I AM TAKING ALL THE DECORATING AND BUSINESS CLASSES I CAN RIGHT NOW.

I was a Graphic Designer before I became a SAHM and I think a lot of GD charge around $500 flat fee for a simple logo. You might check around your area at schools and see if you can get a GD student to help you out for a lot cheaper. Just call the head of the GD department and give them your email address. You will probably have people fighting over you! Have them email you a few samples and pick who you want. It would really be pretty easy...you probably wouldn't ever even meet them, just through email, maybe a phone call.

I started with clipart and modified it to suit me.

I used a software program called Paint Shop Pro. There are numorous tutorials online if you do a google search such as "PSP logo tutorials" or similair. So if you have a program like that, you could fiddle around with it yourself!

You can make your own things from scratch, I believe its called pixel drawing. It's very tedious (in my opinion) but yes, it is possible to do in this program. I use PSP for everything, picture editing, cake stuff, its great!

Hi all
I simply picked out my favorite cake photo and added it to my business card set up. Then I searched for a nice font in a different color. Sometimes, simple is best.

Good luck

I am lucky to have a lot of artist friends. My sister is an architect and my cousin a seasoned painter and graphic designer, one of my best friends an amazing artist. When it comes time to make my logo Im going to these ladies. I think bartering is the best thing in the world and this is how I have been doing things up til now.

I just made business cards too. I had been trying to decide on a name and had ideas but nothing that got me, but last week one morning I woke up and had the name, then I created a logo with that name and made business cards. I work at a print shop, so I got them pretty cheap I made up a 2 part NCR form to for ordres and delivery of the cake. Good luck and happy dreaming.
