like i mentioned i want to make a skinit for my phone
they had only old logo and kinda loaded and i want new and simplistic, so i used one of the wallpaper from here as a base of the design (i hope nobody minds wink.gif )
but it kinda seems that smth is missing... i can't put my finger on it... should i use different zoom, or angle, or smth needs to be added....

That's very LQ so I hope you're not submitting that, it's gonna come back to you like an out of focus picture.

I would give the swoop a lot more curve. And on the back I would use a giant "D" logo.

thanks for the response smile.gif
i think it's quality of the preview... cause i just used a higher quality large image, made it smaller and it still looks like that too... at least i think that it's higher quality
in properties it says 734x737 pixels 72x72 dpi and bit debth 24 (not that it tells me much lol i know the definitions but don't know the differences and classifications of quality)
but
here's the original image (a bit large, don't want to abuse the message, so it's a thumbnail smile.gif )


and this is how it looks on the preview on the website



didn't change the stripes yet... but btw the image that i used has the same kind of resolution but the size is 1280x1024 i did zoom it for the "Ducks" but the stripes are untouched...
you think that it's the preview quality, or i still need a higher quality image... (or i probably should email and ask them smile.gif )

Think bigger and more hi-res, sportslogos.net has very hi quality images of the logos.

After trying out the program, i'm convinced that resizing an image and making it look nice is pretty damn difficult! i've had a little success by rotating the picture in a different program but still...bleh.

Make sure your colors match. Look at the gold and the orange on the two pieces.

Haha, I wish.

If I didn't steal the logos from the Ducks without their permission I'd totally be in the business of making money.
