Members Thunderbroom Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Can someone point me to gradient, filter or something similar for Adobe Illustrator so that I can make the YFC logo "chrome"? I have no idea how to do it and am getting frustrated working on it. It's got to be something that's been done before...I just can't seem to figure it out.

I'll PM you my work address. Email me a simple outline of it and I can try and mess with it in a 3D modeling photo program at work.
Members Thunderbroom Posted November 2, 2005 Author Members Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks! I sent it to your work address. It's saved as a line art JPG.
Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 I could add a filter to it but I have no idea how it would export. Last time I exported it as an ai file I think I had to remove beveles and shadows but I can't remember.
Members Thunderbroom Posted November 2, 2005 Author Members Posted November 2, 2005 It's not a huge deal. I found a tutorial online for Photoshop. I'm messing around with it now.
Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Let me know - I'll work with you.
Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 This is what I came up with:

Members Gruven Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Here's mine. Not competing, just playing with Photoshop.
Members Thunderbroom Posted November 2, 2005 Author Members Posted November 2, 2005 Here's my attempt:

Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Originally posted by Thunderbroom Is there some "trick" to doing that or is just a matter of playing around with it? I ran it through a filter - I took all of about 20 seconds.
Members Gruven Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Originally posted by The Insomniac I ran it through a filter - I took all of about 20 seconds. Where'd ya get that filter? I did mine without one. I recreated the whole thing.
Members Thunderbroom Posted November 2, 2005 Author Members Posted November 2, 2005 Is that filter something that can be exported?

Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Originally posted by Thunderbroom Is that filter something that can be exported? I don't know - I don't have Illustrator but I can try. PM me your email and I'll send it over to you.
Members D Aussie Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Mate, now you have the shiny look.. do ou think the Chevron ads to it any or is it just taking up space? I like band name yuou guys have, but when I see Modern Country with a Rock Edge.. it makes me cringe. Sorry.

Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 (maybe an eps file will work - mail sent)
Members bassman1956 Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 They all look pretty good. For a final touch to any of them, which are just greyed values, add a touch of blue-black to the darks, whites should be just a tad greyish, and then a couple highlites in the brightest white you have.
Members Thunderbroom Posted November 2, 2005 Author Members Posted November 2, 2005 Originally posted by The Insomniac (maybe an eps file will work - mail sent) I got the EPS, but I can't get it to paste properly. I sent you my original PSD file.
Members The Insomniac Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 My wife says she will give it a try in the morning. I'm website, she's print.
Members D Aussie Posted November 2, 2005 Members Posted November 2, 2005 Suggestions>?Dunnow.. maybe you can include that in a descriptuion of the type of music you are doing close to the front of your bio, or even just listing ssome of the more commonly known songs you guys play would effectively let your agents and bookers be aware of the product you are pushing rather than something that overt in the logo.I feel it draws the eye more than the logo does.
