How to design your own logo utilizing free resources:

Your Logo

1. Download either from "openoffice.org"
or from "staroffice," which I have (thank you Google),
but am familiar with openoffice.
2. Open "draw."
3. Click on the big T on the bottom menu bar, to open a text box.

4. Format the background area so the transparency is 100%.

5. Add a letter, picture, shape, other or all four to the text box.
6. Format what you added.

7. Repeat 3-6 for as many characters in your logo as you want.
8. Put them together, changing shapes as desired.
9. Save your work as an openoffice drawing (odg).
10. Export as either a jpg or a gif to a picture editor and crop the canvas.
11. Save your creativity in various sizes.
12. Appreciate.

Three fun samples:

My choice:

Hover background for your logo:
Make a logo (above), then place it on:

blank swatch

Here is 'my choice' (above) on the blank hover background:

i.e. 1

Next add a pointer (same width as your logo) to the top third:

i.e. 2

Then add the bottom third, in case 'visited' is enabled on the viewing browser:

i.e. 3

Finally, add the style to your css:
ahover.css

And try-out your new hover pseudoclass-a (as I did, directly above).

Here are some of my logos on hover backgrounds as examples (on another page): Copyrighted Logos
You are welcome (per honor agreement) to adapt those shown,
by replacing my logo with your own,
then adding my label to your page.
Later, you can follow-up by clicking on that label,
and answering researchable questions (when, of course, I've got some).

Some hover background pseudoclass-a's to edit for learning:

bloom1

red00nu

red01nu

yell00red

yell01red

If you are surfing with any one of the Internet Explorer browsers, I'd be very surprised if your page looks like the one I designed. When selected, the arrowhead image should change to show my logo (my hover image):

click to compare what you are viewing with what I designed.

"Position Is Everything," especially if you’re the "top bundler."
P.S. Go Firefox!
