Wow Obi, those are brilliant! I especially like the last two.
Yours is cool too, Racer! I wish I had Photoshop...

I'm back. Probably not for long, as I've got school stuff to attend to, and I'll probably want to get a job at some point (hopefully self-employed). But nice to see you all again anyway.

It's not very good, because it wasn't a very good website.

Logos done in Illustrator, effects in Photoshop. The sig says MÆLXTRØM; the background icon shape is based off the Demon Hunter logo. Full size sig: Background (orig 1680x1050): There's another new background on my userpage, featuring the singer of Finnish gospel/symphonic metal band HB. Linksig.

Reply fail. So here's a larger version of the new Network Hunter sigs: Text is original design, done in Illustrator (two hours) and background done in Photoshop (one hour). If you're unfamiliar with the Demon Hunter logo, the blackness on the left is a blurred version of it.

Thanks. To get it on the computer from a design floating around in my head, I use Adobe Illustrator CS4. It's a vector graphics program, which means it stores data as a series of points and slopes. Here's a screenie of the interface.

Wait.... do you turn it into a font, or just copy and paste each letter to spell out what you want to? 'Cause I have Illustrator.

I don't turn it into a font you'd be able to use in MS Word, for example, because a lot of the fonts I make are highly specialized to the original word(s) I made it for (examples MÆLXTRØM, soulFire). Even the Hunter font is individual to that graphic because the points come off as I see fit for that, there isn't a norm I've specified as to from what part of a given letter and what direction the points go. If you wanted to make a standardized font to use in other programs, I think a specific font creation program is required. The closest you can get to that in Illustrator (and also PS) is saving things as custom shapes.
To make these logos I just draw them out with the pen tool, and copy/paste elements that are the same for multiple letters (such as the pointed and non-pointed stems of letters).

Lol. If you're using it in PS then you have pretty good reason to hate it. It's much better in Illustrator, and it's pretty much the only way to do anything.
