I really enjoy taking (royalty free and non-copyrighted) images and combining it into a new logo. My Photoshop skills are getting much better now!

If you want a new logo then let me know. Get em' while they are free - before i start asking for PayPal donations!

Well crafted sir, is that the Birmingham skyline I can see in the wheel of that bike?

Tao said...

It's funny you should mention that, but yes!

I used a layer of a bike wheel hub which i altered with contrast and brightness, one of the brum skyline which i hacked about and made black and white with a gradient (white to black) underneath, a layer with the cog on the right which was also heavily altered to make it look like a line drawing, one for the text, one for the "blinds effect" you can see and one for the "Cooksterweb" text.

I also had another vector mask layer on top which made the whole thing into the "pill" shape.

Easy when you know how! Phew...

I just stopped by to harvest your URL for my blogroll.

I am collecting computer geniuses. Just a few more and I'll have a complete set!

Oh Uber's, please don't call Taoski a "computer genius", he is already impossible enough as it is.

But yea, I have to admit, he is a Guru, and a genius. We just don't tell him in case his head gets big enough to float him around the world.

You know, like that teachers "trip" on South Park.

Tao said...

i'm on the case...

Tao said...

Thanks for "rolling" me Milf.
Ps... i am not from Birmingham!!!

Ubermilf said...

I changed it. You're not from Birmingham!!!!!

Is Birmingham that bad? I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Duran Duran came from Birmingham... oh wait, I'm making it worse, aren't I?

Tao said...

YOu saying that I am from Birmingham is like me saying you are from the US, therefore you must be a red-neck-hillbilly!

Ubermilf said...

Isn't Cookie from Birmingham? I'm all confused.

I'll just picture you living next to Hyacinth Bucket. She only lives by the proper sort of people.

Tao said...

Yeah - he is from Birmingham.
And yes, he is a Red Neck Hillbilly!

Yes, I am from Birmingham, which I am proud of. It being the centre of the Universe also helps.

Other groups/musicians also from Birmingham include: Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Ozzie Osborn in particular, E.L.O, UB40, The Streets, Dexi’s Midnight Runners, Apache Indian, Nick Drake, Goldie, Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), Slade, Ruby Turner, Toyah Wilcox, Wizard, Mott The Hoople, Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) Apache Indian, Moody Blues etc etc.

Taoski is a Southerner, whom we allow to travel to Birmingham, when he behaves himself. He most definitely lives in Hyacinth Bucket land.

I suppose I’m more of an Onslow. (Hyacinth’s brother-in-law)
