When making a logo, is it possible for me to make the text like a rainbow style in Photoshop 8.0? When I say rainbow I mean it starts off at the bottom, then in the middle of the text it goes up, and then back down against as the word finishes, like an arc.

Sure you can. Do a search for a tutorial about "Text on a Curve".

Or just use Text Warp. There’s a button in the Options Bar and Arc is one of the options.

Yes. It’s much, much easier to do this in Illustrator, however.

generally speaking, logos should never be done in Photoshop to begin with. Designing a logo in Photoshop is like driving nails with a wrench–sure, it’s possible, kind of, but it’s difficult and frustrating and the results will never be very good. A vector program such as Illustrator is the proper tool for logo design.

The big reason to use a vector program to design logos is that the logo can be made any size. You can resize it to fit on business card or the sign on the front of your building and the full detail will be there.

To do this in Photoshop, you have to start with the logo as big as it will ever be. A file big enough to nicely print your building sign is pretty unmanageable and maybe not possible.

It can be done in about one minute in Corel Draw.

It sometimes is pitiful to see what people parade around claiming is knowledge.

Do get, read, understand and work with ‘Classroom in a Book’ from Adobe. The latter half of the book deals with vectors and all that comes with that.

You will never write such drivel again.

Do you do logos in PhotoShop?

What?!? Exactly what did I write that is drivel? You seem to be bashing my explanation of the flexible, lossless resizing of vector graphics.

Relax, he’s just a troll who happens to know the name of a book.

Creating vector art in Photoshop is a bit like driving nails with a wrench rather than a screwdriver, and *is not* the appropriate way to create logos.

Vector Photoshop objects still contain a raster fill. This means, among other things, you cannot fill a vector object with a spot color, and vector objects do not trap.

What? You drive nails with a screwdriver?

No wonder you don’t know what you are doing with graphics.

Well, you missed the analogy.

creating logos in Photoshop as raster is like driving nails with a screwdriver.

Creating logos in Photoshop as vector is like driving nails with a wrench rather than a screwdriver. It’s still the wrong tool.

You want to use the right tool? Use Illustrator or some other pure vector program.
