Our logo
design creation process
STEP 1:
Place your logo
design project order
Choose the
logo design package that best fit your budget and needs. Once you have chosen
a package you will need to fill out our secure and private on-line logo order form.
Upon completion of
the logo design order form you will then be able to process your payment using Visa , Master Card or American Express.
All charges are made manually by our accounts department. We do this for the
simply reason that we do not store any credit card numbers in our database. You may also send us a
check or money order or wait until our representatives contacts you by phone
to get all the required credit card information. Our company insures that the transaction
you make with
Logo Design Bob is
executed with the utmost of top security available using our on-line secure
order forms.
STEP 2:
Our designers
will review
your order form
After your form and
payment has been received, you will be contacted by our project manager to
supply you with your logo design project display page along with a detailed
invoice via e-mail.
Once this is done
your logo information is supplied to our design department. Here our logo designers
will review your project and begin to develop a creative direction. During
this brainstorm session we will discuss colors, shapes, fonts, style, and
placement. We also look at companies that are similar to yours and try to
determine their design strong and weak points.
STEP 3:
Our designers will
contact you
After our brainstorm
session, if for any reason our designers need additional information or have
questions, they will contact you to discuss your project. Giving our design
team any information, example: sketches, colors, general ideas will allow our
team to develop different design concepts that would reflect not only your
company but an image that will stand out to your target market. If our designers do not
have any questions, they will begin working on your new logo design concepts.
For each project
your project manager will dedicate 12 professionally trained graphic
designers, each having their own unique design style which will allow you to
have a wider range of styles to choose from. |

STEP 4:
Initial logo design
samples are posted after only 4 days
Once your logo
designs have been completed, they are reviewed by our project and senior
managers for final approval. Next they will post the
logo design samples to a
private on-line display page where you will be able to view them 24 / 7. You
may give our design team your feedback as well as call our office and speak to
them directly.
STEP 5:
You send us your
feedback
( yes, unlimited alterations )
What sets us apart
from all other
logo design companies is that we actually offer unlimited
alterations. Many other design firms try to dispel this as impossible. We find
it impossible to limit alterations, since this a creative process that can not
be limited to a certain amount of design changes. The only answer to this
limited amount of changes is that the other design firms manage to charge you
additional amounts for additional changes. So your actual package price will be much more than you originally expected, and since you have already
paid for the package it will not only be a waste of money if you cancel but a
waste of time.
When using LogoBob.com you can rest assured that there are no hidden fees or
additional charges for
alterations. We will keep working on your logo designs until you are
completely satisfied.
STEP 6:
Logo design is
finalized and final files are shipped
Once you have
decided on a final logo design, we begin the process of converting all your
final files.
The files we supply to can be used for any type of reproduction use,
example: web site, promotional items
( embroidery, silkscreen ), animation,
billboard ad, newspaper / magazine ad, brochures, postcard, stationery,
signage, stickers, etc.
Your files are
prepared for both Mac and PC and can be opened with any design program, many
of which are already installed on your computer as default. All your final
files can be resized and altered by you without any problems.
|
Below is a detailed
description of each file format you will receive once your project has been
completed. |
TIFF
Is, in principle, a very
flexible format that can be lossless or lossy. The details of the image
storage algorithm are included as part of the file. In practice, TIFF is
used almost exclusively as a lossless image storage format that uses no
compression at all.
Most graphics programs that
use TIFF do not compression. Consequently, file sizes are quite big.
(Sometimes a lossless compression algorithm called LZW is used, but it is
not universally supported.)
This is usually the
best quality output from a digital camera. Digital cameras often offer
around three JPG quality settings plus TIFF. Since JPG always means at
least some loss of quality, TIFF means better quality. However, the file
size is huge compared to even the best JPG setting, and the advantages may
not be noticeable.
|
GIF
Creates a table of up to
256 colors from a pool of 16 million. If the image has fewer than 256
colors, GIF can render the image exactly. When the image contains many
colors, software that creates the GIF uses any of several algorithms to
approximate the colors in the image with the limited palette of 256 colors
available.
Better algorithms search
the image to find an optimum set of 256 colors. Sometimes GIF uses the
nearest color to represent each pixel, and sometimes it uses "error
diffusion" to adjust the color of nearby pixels to correct for the error
in each pixel.
If your image has
fewer than 256 colors and contains large areas of uniform color, GIF is
your choice. The files will be small yet perfect.
|
JPG
At moderate compression
levels of photographic images, it is very difficult for the eye to discern
any difference from the original, even at extreme magnification.
Compression factors of more than 20 are often quite acceptable. Better
graphics programs, such as Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop, allow you to view
the image quality and file size as a function of compression level, so
that you can conveniently choose the balance between quality and file
size.
This is the format of
choice for nearly all photographs on the web. You can achieve excellent
quality even at rather high compression settings. I also use JPG as the
ultimate format for all my digital photographs. If I edit a photo, I will
use my software's proprietary format until finished, and then save the
result as a JPG.
Digital cameras save
in a JPG format by default. Switching to TIFF or RAW improves quality in
principle, but the difference is difficult to see. Shooting in TIFF has
two disadvantages compared to JPG: fewer photos per memory card, and a
longer wait between photographs as the image transfers to the card. I
rarely shoot in TIFF mode.

BMP
A bitmap file is a raster-
(or pixel-) based format that only supports the RGB color space and bit
depths of 1, 4, 8, or 24 bits per channel. These attributes make bitmap
images unsuitable for use in a high-end print production workflow.
Even
though bitmap images are in the RGB color space, they are not supported by
any Web browsers or Web coding languages. Therefore, they are not suitable
for use as images in a Web application.
You would be able to use such a graphic in an HTML export from InDesign by
having the automatic conversion to a GIF or JPEG file occur. Bitmap images
are best used for their intended purpose, as a system support on a PC
Windows-based computer. Do not use the placement of a bitmap image when
designing for a high-end print production job.
|
PSD and PSP
Are proprietary
formats used by graphics programs. Photoshop's files have the PSD
extension, while Paint Shop Pro files use PSP. These are the preferred
working formats as you edit images in the software, because only the
proprietary formats retain all the editing power of the programs.

EPS (vector)
Language file format can contain both vector and bitmap graphics and is supported by virtually all graphic, illustration, and page-layout programs. The EPS format is used to transfer PostScript language artwork between applications. EPS can be easily exported from most graphics and desktop publishing applications. This format is used mostly for print.
EPS is typically used for
elements to be included in a page layout or PDF document. Because PDF
files can be designed for onscreen display as well as print, EPS supports
the RGB color mode in addition to the CMYK and Grayscale modes. EPS files
cannot be displayed by Web browsers (although they can be incorporated
into PDF files, which can be shown through a browser plug-in).
One of the greatest
advantages of EPS as a file format is the capability of including both
raster and vector data and artwork.
|
CDR
Corel Draw: Drawings made up of vector
graphics. Vectors define a picture as a list of graphic primitives
(rectangles, lines, text, arcs, and ellipses). Vectors are mapped point by
point to the page, so if you reduce or increase the size of a vector
graphic, the original image will not be distorted. |
STEP 7:
Stationery design
stage begins
Now that your logo
design project has been completed, the entire process starts over for your
stationery designs. Again you will be working directly with our stationery
designers. All final file formats supplied for your logo design will also be
supplied for your stationery.
