Every web page needs a logo, whether it is a business page or a personal page. Designing a logo can be as simple as a text logo or as complicated as hand-drawn graphics. If you are artistically impaired like me, you can use dingbat fonts and clipart to enchance your logos.

This page is primarily a demonstration page. It assumes that you have completed my PSP tutorials and are thoroughly familiar with the program. Please be patient while this page loads. It is graphics intensive!

Text Logos

Text logos can be quite effective and can set the mood of the web page. The following examples all would convey a different ambiance to a web page.


The above logo is rather sophisticated and modern. The font is Anastasia, the text is softly beveled.


This logo is very formal and would work well on a geneology web page. The font is Monistary, the text is beveled with Alien Skin's Inner Bevel.


This logo is just plain fun. The font is Bebop, the text is softly beveled.


This logo is casual and is suitable for a personal page or a casual business. The font is Benguiat Frisky and the text is beveled with Alien Skin's Inner Bevel.


This logo is also rather sophisticated and elegant. It would work well on a more formal page. The font is Breman BT and the text has the cutout effect applied.


This last font is very simple and elegant. The font is Academia and the text only has a drop shadow applied.


And for something a little different, try rotating your text.

Logos From Button Font

This logo was created by using the "E" from the Button font. It has the cutout filter applied with the white drop shadow (see cutout effect). The logo of the world and the car is black and white clipart that I made a mask out of and colorized (see Masks). The font is "Bebop" to give the logo a playful touch.

This logo background is the Button-Button Font letter "2". I placed the font in a dark purple, then feathered by 2, hit delete with background set to white. I then set the foreground color to light purple and applied the hot wax filter. The drop shadow and the text are on separate layers. The text is Art Deco.

This is the same font. I filled it with wood and applied Eye Candy Inner Bevel (set to 5). I then selected the inner part of the button, expanded the selection by 2, filled with wood and applied the inner bevel filter again. The drop shadow and text were applied on separate layers. The font is Expo.

 This logo is the "7" in the Button-Button Font. I applied the same technique as above but set the colors for gold text. Font is Vivaldi.

This logo is the Button Font, letter "$" cut out of a sunset graphic, Eye Candy's Inner Bevel applied. Then the Button Font letter "5" was placed on top, cutout filter applied. Finally the text was applied with a black drop shadow.

Logos From Dingbat Fonts

This logo is a fine grain grey background with a rectangular selection, cutout filter applied, then a white drop shadow to define the lower edge of the cutout. I then placed text and a dingbat text graphic (Kensington, a great freeware font made by high school students!) and applied the cutout effect. Font is Anastasia.

This logo, again, uses the cutout filter effectively. The "paint palette" is also a font with a white drop shadow applied at 1, 1, no blur. This further defines the font from the background.

Logos from Clip Art

This is a piece of clipart emphasized with inner bevels. The text has the glow text affect applied.

This is, again, a piece of clip art. I carefully selected the clip art from the background, applied a bevel to the clip part. Then, on a new layer I added a drop shadow (after contracting selection by 2). The text is added on a third layer, beveled and a drop shadow applied.
