Asinine Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ok, first off, i don't have much cash to throw at this, but if i get what i want then i will.Anyway, i finished school i guess about a month and a half ago, and have been pretty much unemployed since post christmas.In my boredem and financial crisis i've decided to start my own business with some relic sign making equipment i have around my house (my dad ran a sign making business back in the 80s and early 90s).Anyhow, i'm fighting to put a flyer together and start pushing my product, but one of the main hic-ups in doing that is that i want a cool logo to build this brand around.My company (registered today) is "EZ Vinyl". My idea (and i'd execute if i had ANY graphic design skills) is a really old school typewriter font that is really worn.I'd like "EZ" to be big on top and "Vinyl" to fit underneath and be scaled to fit. I can't really think of a way to describe the font - but this is my best attempt - like 'Courier New' but more like it came off a typewriter in the 60's. So, the whole 'stamp', didn't hit.Anyhow, if you can come up with something, that'd be epic. Send me thumbnails if you want some cash for it, and we can go from there.Thanks in advance guys!!

Asinine Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Thanks for the help guys, but the contributions i got weren't quite what i was looking for.I used some free fonts s40euro sent me, and put this together. I think i'm going to stick with it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asinine Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I erased and shapened some bits, but it's the look i was going for and have gotten a good response.anyhow, money i can spend somewhere else. I'm trying to start this business on about $250!!
