How to create good logos
I am not very experienced at with photo editing but I want to create good logos for my game. I have tried to use paint to decrease the size but it always distorts the picture slightly. And I also can't figure out how to get the white to be invisible(i'm pretty sure that's not even possible with paint).
Any tips or programs to use? I can't afford photoshop so that's not an option. I have a macbook and I have always heard how artsy they are but I haven't been able to find a program on it. |

I'm not too familiar with what else is out there for the Mac, but the most feature complete Photoshop alternative I know of is GIMP, which has an OSX version.
GIMP - Downloads I'm not sure if that redirects based on your OS, but if not, you can grab the file directly from here: Index of /gimp/v2.8/osx You might also have luck with Pixlr, which is a web-based photo editor. |

The very best way to get great logos for your game is to simply ask for them in the mods forum.
There are a lot of very talented guys on this forum that love to make graphics for others. The community is the best part of OOTP.

I do love the community. But I don't like being a moocher

It ain't mooching; it's giving some nerdy guys a good excuse to do what they love to do without feeling guilty it about since they are doing a favor for someone else......
And the thanks and effusive praise you give them for their creations gives them the warm fuzzies for days..... |

Yeah, too bad nobody has made any good ones (he says, looking at the roughly 5,000+ logos he has collected from the mod community).

Particularly not Justafan, who has an entire directory on my computer devoted to nothing but his work...

Can you give some specific examples of ones you can't find? Maybe I have them or I can point you to them. There are many collections but there are some great ones in uncollected threads.
