[cisco-voip] 7912 logo tips

[Vincent De Keyzer]

Leo,

 

do the letters by hand, that's what I did. :-)

 

I used Microsoft Paint, and previewed the "work" with option "View Bitmap".
With 88x27 B&W pixels, there is not much room for doing things very wrong.

 

Vincent

 

PS: "zut" takes no 's' :-)

you say shades of gray - i thought on B&W was supported?

 

and i had a feeling someone was going to say to do the letters by hand. ;)

is about as good as my French (zuts alors!).

type(s) to stick with, what point size to use, etc that might help me out?
And what previewing techniques I can use without having to load them on the
phone to see what they might look like? I find that what looks good on the
screen looks, well, um, a little different on the phone.

I just do it by hand in Photoshop.  The main trick is to get _exactly_ the 
right shades of gray, and to do the characters by hand, so they come out 
the same, rather than trying to use a font.

If you get really stuck, I can probably whip one out for you.  No, I'm not 
offering to do that generally, for the whole world.  :-)
