Face Painting Logo

I want a logo, but I'm not sure how to go about getting one. I've had a request for my logo for a not-for-profit I'll be working with. I've been using a photo of my daughter w/ a butterfly painted on her face.
Is that considered tacky for a logo?
Do you have a logo?
Did you design it yourself or get someone else to do it?
Are their free programs to do it?
Thanks!

I'm wondering that too...i won a vectorized logo here with the doggiechallenge...still figuring out what I want and how to do it...

go to fiverr.com and search for logo then you can have someone make you one for 5.00!!

haha...what people do for 5 $!!

Linda, I'm a graphic designer (I have a BS in Industrial Design) if you need me... I still don't have a logo for myself because it's so hard to do one for "myself" kwim?

You can also go to Etsy and either do a search-- or post in the Alchemy area... I've designed simple logos there for $5-15- some can go up to over $100 though.
You need vector art (aka Adobe Illustrator or similar)- best for resizing and printing.

Cool! Mikki, I'll help you w/ your logo if you help me w/ mine:-)

This is mine - my cousin is a designer, and she did it for me - I don't have a clue how to make my thoughts translate like that!



I don't know if I'd use a fp design - only because I know personally, my work is getting better, and my technique is changing, and I don't want to be unhappy/unsatisfied with my logo in a years time, you know?

I actually created mine with a program I have,
I'll try to help you with yours, if you'd like.

My first logo was of my daughter. I abandoned that one when my business changed, and have stopped using my art on stuff, cause I focus on what I could have done better as my skills improve. (And as I discovered DFX white!)

that's mine,
like i said, i'll help you come up with yours if you'd like! (:

This is the one I made. Did it with Photoshop.

I don't have photo shop(I have a netbook, so I'm a little limited).

I thought the same thing w/ using a photo. I've already improved past the butterfly face of my daughter & wish I could redo it. It's on all my cards & on most free party sites....

I made mine in Photoshop too- the price was right

My web designer made mine

I love yours Ashley!

I'm still waiting for hubby or my niece to do mine. I even offered to pay her....still waiting.

I'm a graphic designer by day, so my "digital identity" was one of the first things I worked out when I started turning this into a business. I'm pretty happy with my logo, but feel free to let me know what you guys think too... I'm always a fan of constructive criticism. (and by the way, the colors are getting way messed up when I upload it here! Looks alot better on my website)

I like it!

Here's the one I made for my daughter. Our actual name is Girl Friday Entertainment Services, but she uses Girl Friday as her nickname, and this is the one I sent when she had a request for a logo recently. I use an ancient version of Paint Shop Pro (that I love) for all my graphics work, and Printmaster to do layouts for business cards, posters, etc. I let her pick out the font; I think it's too busy but she loves it. That's her in the picture, and we've used that pic on all our printed stuff.



Now my problem is - we want a new name, one that can include my husband's airbrush tattoos. (My daughter will continue to paint as Girl Friday, though). Anyway, I'm totally blank coming up with anything. The two names I'm tossing around right now are both kind of lame: Happy Canucks Face and Body Art, or Good Karma Face and Body Art. I kind of like Good Karma but neither one is very descriptive LOL!

I actually drew the dragon first, then came up with my name.

if anyone needs a logo, let me know. I will help ya out.

Painted Dragon, Your logo is too cute

Amanda, I like how you turned the e into an eye - very clever
