Question
I am working on two websites and I need to make logos for both sites. Problem is I am not an artist and not a good drawer. Is there a website somewhere that allows users to create logos based on basic shapes, which allow you to choose the background color? I am an intermediate Adobe Photoshop user so I know how to work my way around it Photoshop, but if I actually have to draw the image there is going to be a problem.

Answer
Hiya,

Sorry for the delay Dennis,  

Have you seen the basic shapes provided in Photoshop?

While you are in Photoshop, press (U) key from keyboard, and select the 'custom shape tool', (inside tool options)


Click on the small down arrow appearing next to this button called 'shape'


Click on the side option arrow on this dialogue box and select 'All' from the last menu list. It will ask you to replace these existing shapes Choose 'Append'


Now you can see ample of predefined shapes coming from the library, and you just select the shape and write down the name inside it.


In Photoshop! It is that Simple.



Feel free to ask anything further
