MN1 Logo Type1

My Buddy, Myself and the fellow great team members are doing a Forum for all Internet User, especially Malaysians. It is called Malaysianumber1.com or MN1.... Is going to be a great forum I believe and we are still working hard to make it more attractive..
Do drop by whenever you free in MN1.com
We need a logo, a simple yet nice logo to represent our "project". I tried to create it using Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 too.. ha ha, hope you all don't mind ;)

Here, I'm going to share how to create this...
Very simple also lar....



Here we go
1.1 Start with a new flash document. Set the size to..400x250 but don't think if the size is a standard size for logo.. quite important also. You all check and let me know please..
1.2 Name the existing layer as Background. Then Draw a black rectangle without stroke. Change the size to 160 x 160 pixels.
1.3 Add layer beneath the background layer and name it as rectangle shadow. From the Background layer, copy the black rectangle and "paste in place" ( Ctrl+Shift+V ) at the new created layer. Then, fill it with the color you like. I choose Red.
1.4 Add another layer and name it as text. Now with the Text tool Type in the "M". Change the Size to 100 and use white color.
1.5 Now use the select tool and select the whole things on the stage. With the free transform tools, rotate the whole things and get the position you want. This is what I get.



1.6 Now is turn to create the "N". Create a layer and name it as N. Using the select tools, Select the whole things on the stage and paste it in the new layer. Simply change the color, and word. Then using the previous method, rotate the "N" logo and place it at the location you like.



1.7 The remaining works is easy. Just create a layer and name it as Text. Using the text tool, Type the "1" and " Malaysia Number 1.com" separately. Change the size and the fonts you like in the property panel ( Ctrl+F3 ).
For me, I chose the Jokerman font, 150 size, Black color for "1" and use Forte, 30, Black for "Malaysia Number 1.com". Rearrange the whole things depend on your creativity and now you got your own logo.



1.8 This logo is quite simple, but still need to show and discuss with entire team before make any decision. So, I need to create more options for them to compare...
