When you say black and white do you mean gray scale or truly bi-tonal? I do it in grayscale, bi-tonal, and two color later this morning.

Here's a couple of bi-tonal. One with some body outline detail, another without, and black background with inverted text.

Those look good to me. What I'm going to do is run the design by a few people tomorrow (Sunday) at church and see if anyone else has any issues with it. If not, will you be able to send me a Photoshop document of it. I do have CS5 so PSD or Illustrator is fine by me. Just let me know what's easiest for you. Thanks again!

Alright. I talked with our pastor today and he really liked the design. However one thing we agreed upon that we'd like to modify is the beak of the eagle. Especially in the black and white ones, we weren't crazy about it. In my first post, I had our old logo (st.BMP). Is there any way that you could make the beak look a bit more like that one. I don't how to describe it exactly. Perhaps a bit more fierce looking I guess? Anyway, just some thoughts.

Thanks again! --Nick

Sure. I'll work on a version, hopefully later today, with its beak closed.

This is kind of the beak design I'm looking for. That kind of great "hooked beak" that eagles have. I know it seems like we're nitpicking but it is a logo and we want to make sure we get it right. I thank you again so much for all of your help!

No problem, I can make the "hook" more pronounced. And no problem about nitpicking as logos are the icon representation. I had just taken the shape path from the first version and "closed" the mouth which sort overfilled in the hook of the mouth. I'll do another tweek tonight.

FYI, this is being done in Adobe Illustrator and I will deliver the vector file, which is done in four layers (color, grayscale, bi-tonal, bi-tonal black background). I all send a high resolution flat file in Photoshop and PNG with an alpha background.

Okay... here's another "beak" version. A little short thinner in the mouth and more hook to the end. Thoughts? Sort of waiting to re-do the grayscale and bi-tonal until the beak shape is on track.

Looks awesome! Checked with all the pastors and staff at our meeting today and they all seem to like it. I think we finally have a design that looks really great! Let me know what the next steps are.

Great! I'll make the beak changes to the grayscale and bi-tonal versions. I upload them in a zipped folder to my free ADrive.com account and private message you the link on how to download the files. The file package will include a single Adobe Illustrator file with the different versions on separate layer groups. This file will let you easily make changes to the vector shape paths if needed as well as change colors. I'll also send rasterized version in a Photoshop file with each version in a separate layer. Finally, I'll include PNG format files of the different versions. If there is a specific file format you prefer, just let me know. Also if something comes up that still needs to be tweaked, don't hesitate to mention it.
