i need your help with a logo for laser engraving

Silhouettes work very well.

DO NOT use the “Hairline” or “super fine” drawing tool as the laser will not pick that up. You must use at least the next side larger (Fatter) line.

Did we mention, HIGH RESOLUTION

Saved as one of the 3 following file extensions: cdr, psp, pdf. We MUCH prefer the cdr format as it is directly compatible with Corel, the program we use. .pdf would be the second choice. .psp can work but it is a real pan for us to use. NOTE: IF SENDING A .CDR FILE IT MUST BE SAVED AS A VERSION “X3”, OR OLDER, NOTING NEWER.

It MUST be Black and White only, no color, no gray, no grayscale – BLACK AND WHITE ONLY.

There must not be a background of any kind. No background box, no black screen, nothing. The image must appear to be “floating” on your screen. This does not mean that your image is not allowed to be inside a circle or square outline, it means the image must not be “placed on” a background. If you do not understand this, please consult a graphics design professional.

It needs to be saved as a VECTOR or fully scalable file. We WILL be changing the size of the image you submit. If it is not saved correctly not all of the lines will maintain the proper aspect ratio and width making your image look very poor.

(Just FYI: cdr is Corel Draw - the preferred format – the .pdf files seem to be working very well too)

When working on the image, remember, when put onto a lower receiver, the background will be black, the image will be white. Usually what you will be working on is a white background, your image is black. When you are, remember everything you see in black will be a white image on your lower receiver.

i will toss you a few bucks if you have a paypal account

im not sure if photoshop can do this or what kind of program i could use, but if i could get some assistance that would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I can do it but I'm going to need to know what the name of that font is, otherwise I'll be sifting through some 3000+ font's I have installed, it'll take forever.

Morbid 05-08-2008 06:24 PM

Personal meaning or just a Boondock Saints fan?

phantomzer0 05-08-2008 06:43 PM

Ok here you go. This is the file minus the text, which anyone can insert at any time.

If you get that font name I can make adjustments accordingly. I basically just whipped this up, it should look great! It's all vector also, so it can be resized. I also didn't add the grungy effects because I don't think they will translate well to an engraving.

presto_z 05-08-2008 07:55 PM

wow that looks awesome.. i will see if i can find the font for ya. thanks man

i am a big boondocks fan, but that is not why i am getting this. i think its a great message, and will put a nice personal touch to my AR

I used Adobe Photoshop. I just used the pen tool. I could have refined some of the lines a little better, but I like how it came out.
