Creating a Logo |
You can create a logo for your business, volunteer project, club or just for fun. A logo is composed of a headline (which can have special effects) and a graphic. Logos can also be used as colophons, which are identifying marks used by printers and publishers at the end of books or newsletters.
To add a logo:
1. Click the Create a Custom Graphic button on the Objects toolbar or choose Custom Graphics from the Insert menu, and then choose Logo from the submenu. The Create a Logo dialog appears.
2. Type in the words you want to use for your logo in the Enter Logo Text box.
3. Specify a font for your logo text.
4. Apply an effect to your text by selecting one of the options in the Logo Text Styles list.
5. Use the Color button under the Logo Text Styles list to apply color to the text in your logo.
6. Select the graphic you want to use with the text in your logo on the Graphics list. Click the More Graphics button to obtain more graphics from The Print Shop collections.
7. Use the Color button under the Graphics list to apply color to your graphic. (If the Color button is dimmed, color changing is not an option for the selected graphic.)
8. Set the tint for the graphic by choosing the tint percentage you want from the Tint pop-up menu.
9. You can move and scale the text and graphic in your logo. The default arrangement is to place the text below the graphic.
10. You will see your logo displayed in the preview area. As you make additional changes, such as adding a graphic to your logo, you will see those changes displayed as well.
