I finally was able to produce a transparent logo with a decent quality of text!

1. Is there a way to change the default logo size from 235 X 50 to say 245 X 55 ?

2. I tried to look for the logo link in the HTML file but couldn’t find it. Currently it is GIF by default. I’d like to change it to logo.png (I feel that my logo text looks better in the PNG version). How do I do that?

3. By the way there’s a png version of the logo in the original template. Why is it there? What’s the purpose? When does it get displayed? Note that in #2 when I said I want to replace the GIF version with the PNG I am talking about just that. But since there IS a PNG version in the directory that I know not what purpose it is used for… how do I handle this situation? I want the template to show a PNG version of the logo INSTEAD of the GIF version as it is currently doing.

Well I was going to ask a fourth question but that probably should wait for the Photoshop forum :o) But since I roused your curiosity anyway, I’ll speak :o) I have toiled over making the text in the logo sharp in Photoshop, GIMP and what not but have given up (yes, I have tried the Sharp, Crisp, Strong settings for text…). I was not able to make Inkscape work, finally OmniGrafflie came to the rescue and believe it or not, despite not being intended for logo creation and not being a replacement for any vector drawing program, I was able to produce satisfactory result (it has good support for vector format). Does anyone know a link to some good resource for dealing with type in Photoshop or better yet in GIMP? Specifically producing sharp text at smaller point sizes. I am not trying to produce any body text in Photoshop/GIMP but atleast text as it pertains to/in logos.

Thanks!
Kenneth

Kenneth,

Hello. As mentioned above, edit the template_css.css file.
– in the administrator panel go to Extensions / Template Manager
– select Ja Helio
– click “edit CSS” and select template.css

Specifically, (I have already changed to fit my logo)

h1.logo a {
width: 566px;
display: block;
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;
position: absolute;
height: 67px;
bottom: 10px;
left: 0;
}


Cheers,
Steve Z
