[Mikeoo92]

I am working in photoshop to try and come up with a good logo... I cant think of anything.
I have my name its Magical Mike, but I want a Logo, something simple I can draw on a card or something, but unique to put in my letter heads, and business cards, and stuff like that... Any Ideas?

You could do a design like a card, picture an Ace but instead of 'A's, you would have 'M's. Since your name is two 'M's that gives you a lof of flexibility.

Hey, Im a graphic designer and have been one for 2 years...

You dont do logos with Photoshop! Thats the first thing you did wrong(everyone does that dont worry), logos are made with illustrator. Its a little complicated but it gives a much better result.
There are alot of inspiration gallerys in the web just use google!
Some of wich i go to are:

http://www.logopond.com - this is one of the best
http://dzineblog.com/2008/08/54-creative-logos-designs.html - This is a good one (its not a page for logos but the post has some great logo ideas)
also check out

http://www.psdtuts.com - this is a photoshop page and it has a great rss feed at the side
also check out http://www.vectortuts.com - its a illustrator site that is linked with psdtuts.

Hope This Helped

EDIT: I was just wondering why do you need this? Do you go to gigs alot or are you making a website?

I was playing around with Photoshop and made this:

Or you could use the JG Wentworth logo upside down...

 

[Mikeoo92]

WOW thanks man, I think I came up with something
this is just for starters tell me what you think

 

[Teddy94]

Pretty cool, Mike! What program did you use? And what do you think of mine? (Be honest, I did it in about three seconds.)

I Used photoshop cs2 and I like yours as a logo, but I was looking for something I could draw on cards to basicaly sign them you know?
so I wouldent use yours. but its still pretty good... is there anyway to make a font bigger in photoshop cs2? Becuse it only lets me go to 77 pixels...
