Designing A Logo With The Logo Creator - I - 3

Guest Author - Diane Cipollo

Step 8. Add your company name. Now we will add your company name to the logo. Type the name into the text input box on the Element Setter. Then click Add New Text.

Repeat Step 7 to format this text. For this text I used the Textile built-in font and resized it to .076. Then I used the eyedropper to select the yellow color from his shoes. If the text is not already centered on the canvas, click and drag it into position.

Circular Text Dialog Box

Step 9. Text on a circle. I decided to format the company name on a curve/circle. Click on the Format button from the Text Menu to open the Text Attributes dialog box. Now click on the Circle button. We need to adjust the radius of the circle slightly. Use the Circle Radius slider bar to adjust the radius to 189. Click Done to close the dialog box. Now click and drag the text down slightly from the top edge of the canvas.

This is a good looking logo, but we will add more style and detail to it in part two of this tutorial. For now let's save the logo in the program's default format (.tlc). From the main Menubar click File > Save As to open the Save Your Logo dialog box. Give your logo a name and click Save.
