Search the forums - I KNOW that it is on these forums. I'll look through my icons though.

#341875

why not make your own set?

#341876

Because copies never look as good as the originals, that's why.

Okay, I found it. Save you the search. Have fun!

Just to let everyone know, I created those button images.

They are available as part of the readme file for my WordPress themes.

While they were only really intended for personal use...

...here's what i would do:

Hope that's what you were after :)

@Sranshaft I take it you're an Aussie too? We should talk sometime.

#341916

hey gtn,i don't know this logos are yours job

great

maybe you could make a new logo , aqua style for my site too

i mean for guistyles.com

i use this logo, 200x50 -> site_logo.gif

it could be better, i know i just create the text by myself (hehe i mean from font and shading)

the sizes could be bigger, just to feat my page toolbar

thanx, and sorry to stick to yours topic :)

#341943

Hehe, the logo wasn't originally designed by gtn--he just created the mod.

Here's a link to the original release thread, without the icon in it, though. As you can see, it was created by Fer. Unfortunately, it's a dead link ;).

ahh well there you go...saves me the trouble :P

@gtn: I'm not an Aussie by birth - just a transplanted American living down-under ;)

#342034

thanks gtn. but can you please give the psd? so that i can use it for another graphics.

thanks a lot

@ataleser: My base psd is really very, very, simple.

* Create a new file in Photoshop, 160 x 40 with transparent background.

* Delete 3 pixels in an L-shape on each corner to round the corners off.

* Use layer styles to do pretty much anything you like!

* You must have a 1-2px inside stroke border in the style.

* Shading should use a very faint top-to-bottom gradient.

* Remember to keep things simple :)

#342048

i do believe that i was the one who created the 'mod' or 'updated' version of fer's, the one we use at aqua-soft today ;) hehe. i released it in icon format a while ago..

@Lou: Don't suppose you've seen my take on your "Better Than Bliss" concept

(you know, the whole Bliss-in-Hermik's-style thing)

bro, i can't make it my own.

please send me the psd. i teach me how to make the image look like yours. (not flat but look like emboss or something.)

thanks a lot.

#342233

Okay here is the file (Photoshop CS) - as simple as I could make it:

http://rapidshare.de/files/9626058/links-aquasoft.psd.html

3 layers:

- Plain text layer (Myriad font)

- Cropped logo layer (Aqua-Soft logo)

- Button base layer (Black rounded rectangle)

In Photoshop's Layers Palette:

- Layers 1 & 3 have a small icon next to the layer name. This indicates a layer style is in use.

- Double-clicking in the white space at the extreme right of any layer opens the Layer Style editor.

- Here you can add/modify effects such as stroke, drop-shadows & gradient-fills.

Tips:

- You can create 3d effects with soft 90 degree gradients to mimic bevels & reflections.

- There is a "Bevel and Emboss" style, but the results are pretty terrible.

- Shadow angle defaults to 120 degrees - set it to 90 degrees for a more "Aqua" look.

- Match your colors carefully.

- Crop images creatively.

- Make text big and readable - keep it at least 5px from the edge on the image.

Above all, experiment and keep things very subtle.

Good luck :)

#342238

Well i put it on my site, but i don't know is it temporary or for always :)

Thanx gtn !

#342298

Ok here are the logos :

site_logo2.png

site_logo3.png

Which one is the best in your opinion ?

#342309

I like the style of the logo in the last one - simple with a nod towards it's Aqua-Soft heritage.

Maybe combine it with the middle one by adding an abstract black triangle-arrow?

#342423

Well yes i imagine the last one with the arrow but i don't know how to do it in ps.

I am an 100% amateur :(

#342425

site_logo4.png

Maybe something like that, well it is not ideal.

Look forward to your opinions.

#342428

wow, that's what i need to know. thanks a lot bro,

merry christmas and a happy new year to you.
