Logos

First, Photo Shop and drawling

It's best to use Illustrator or another program that uses vectors. This way, you can change the size without worrying about the resolution.

i don't use a watermark or copyright on anything which i upload to the internet, because i'm not professional. anything which i potentially want to keep incase i do ever take up photography for a living, i keep.

using illustrator is probably your best bet, but don't overdo it - a copyright should just be somewhere in the corner, discreet but legible.

i use illustrator to make it, look at my photo critique thread for some ideas, but a lot of people will tell you not to watermark it unless your professional, i do it anyways because i like to do it. make sure its small and barley noticeable so its not distracting in the picture, such as put the opacity below 15%.

no idea haha. 

we have a pretty cool designer doing our label/logo/cards...etc.  We have a lot of good ideas but lack the artistic ability to implement it properly.  We shoot ideas back and forth and he makes drafts we review and which he'll make changes to. 

I'd recommend using a professional unless you're super artistic.  In my head I think i know what will look great (i think) but my eye isnt that of an artist, and its really nice to have someone with formal training know what they're going and shoot down an idea they don't see working or agree and run with an idea you pitched. 

This is for the hotsauce my and my partners are starting that I've mentioned in a few threads to build hype around.  Actually a new design draft should be coming in within the next few days. Super pumped about that.

  good luck with youre logo

Yeah i saw your photos those were pretty dope and your logo was pretty cool.

Did you do all of it in illustrator?

same

Buddy's who can draw. Have them sketch it, then scan it, pull it into Illustrator, vectorize it (live trace of you're lazy), then do as you wish with a newly digitized logo.

thanks man!
