AHARRIS22 Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Hi all, I am no graphics/web designer but from what I have learnt by using affinity photo for my photo editing it has made me look at logos and photos a lot more I would like to remake the attach photo but a high resolution so it can then be resized for website logo, data sheets etc. I am not sure what the text type is has anyone got any ideas and what size I should create it all so I can then be scaled down for everything it may then be used for thanks Aaron Quote AHarris Using Mac with Affinity Photo & Publisher https://www.instagram.com/awharrisphotos/
v_kyr Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 If you use just ArtisticText and common shapes for your logo, then you can also make that as vectors in Affinity Photo. So you can scale it up/down as needed later without any worring. Just save your design then as SVG/PDF for later vector based reusage! Related to the fonts in that sample logo, see also: whatfontis ... ... aka ...

Would a .png file not be better to drop into other documents and then scale? Aaron Quote AHarris Using Mac with Affinity Photo & Publisher https://www.instagram.com/awharrisphotos/

PNG is a bitmap/raster image file format, meaning it doesn't scale well up and will probably get pixelated when created entirely as a bitmap. But if a PNG file already has been build in a higher resolution, scaling it down afterwards isn't mostly that much of a problem. However, for logo design it's always best to do that (if possible) vector based, since vectors can be scaled abitrary up/down (small to pretty huge). - When I create website logos and such stuff, I do that primary as vector drawings (SVG/PDF). Later when I need some PNG bitmap from out of that, let's say for a website navbar, banner, or the like, I setup (scale/resize) the initial vector one to the needed image pixel dimensions and then export that as PNG. But the initial logo will be a vector one, which then on demand is exported in various needed sizes as a bitmap image (PNG/JPG/Webp etc.).
