        I kind of wanna give this a shot but I'm only good with Photoshop. I haven't really worked with Illustrator too much but I can still make vectors in Ps. (at least i think)

          well the thing is with logos you REALLY want to be able to resize the image as much as you want. with a vector in illustrator you will never lose quality due to resizing.

          now while you can make something that looks like a vector in photoshop, if you need to resize it to be very large, you will run into problems for the 'vector' will quickly lose it's quality.

            I made tons of different variations of this.
            Or, rather, I tried to.

                        If you start out big (think a few thousand pixels wide etc) and save the layer as a smart layer you can do with that layer whatever you want as long as you don't go and destroy the data inside the smart layer.
                        If you resize the smart layer to a smaller size or rotate the layer you won't lose quality because the original unaltered data is stored in a seperate .psb file outside of the .psd where it draws the data from (given that you don't resize or in any other way **** with the design anymore pixel-corruption wise in the smart layer once the design is final). A lot of game logos are done in this manner since they sometimes have intricate painted designs (think World Of Warcraft's alliance or horde logos for example).

                        If you make the original let's say.. around 4000 pixels wide at 300 dpi, I highly doubt there's any company that will need bigger. And if they do, they won't notice any upscaling issues. This is more useful for painted designs than vector-ish designs though. If you have a design that'll look just as good as in illustrator then use illustrator, but this was to show that there are ways to make logos in photoshop. Just gotta start out big and think ahead.

                          don't have illustrator at home

                          and i'm more in a web mood than vector anyways seeing as I'm taking Web Design at school currently

                          PS: looks impressive as always, Spenner.

                                Only penis size and your address. Don't care about the rest.

                                Spenner, pm me your info. Nice work as usual.
                                CBR0, sorry to say that wouldn't work as a logo, here's why:

                                A logo which is used in a professional manner by a business will be used on a white background 95% of the time, such as business cards, letterhead, etc...so designing something over an existing background is a huge nono. The logo itself needs to be able to stand on its own. You also used a specific type of engine, what if they don't offer that type? Now it's forcing them to carry that specific type simply because its on their card, which might not be in their best interest. Like what was mentioned before, the image of that engine isn't scalable...try resizing that to a 16ft x 20ft billboard size and see how that goes, you'd just get a pixelated mess.

                                Frank. Aside from the border around the image, I think this could work well, the custom "X" shows you put some good thought into this, the design itself could also work against a white background (for the most part anyway, you'd likely have to tweak some of it). It does however feel maybe a little too busy, lots going on in the image...some businesses like busy stuff, but a majority prefer to keep it simple. Pm me your details.

                                Cold Kitten. Same issue as CBR0, this wouldn't work well against a white background, and it appears as though you've put most of your design thought into the background as opposed to the logo itself. It's a pretty bland design, nothing is custom aside from a regular X with a stroke and inner drop shadow applied to it. Maybe try again when you have less family issues going on =(


                                Info = name, phone number, email address, daily hours of availablility would be nice too.
