What's the best way to make a simple logo in inkscape?

Show us what you've managed so far ...

Seriously, someone else may want to do your work for you, but it only takes 15 mins to learn enough of the program to write 4 words and draw a blob.

How about a box with an arrow on one face and a currency symbol on the other, with your group name under it. Post what you've got and I'll help.

Arrow - $ sign, name underneath... sounds P e r f e c t.

Thank you. Sweet and simple.

I'll walk through the tutorial again and see if I can figure out how to insert text.
Thank you.
Your grateful friend,
Jennifer

Is this, http://www.agiletcp.com/about.asp, you? I had a go - http://alicious.com/openclipartorg/ - tell me what you think: you can use that it's 90dpi, if you want source docs and a printable version then email me, <email address hidden>

The box was made using the box tool and then painting in the faces with the bucket-fill tool. The text is plain but with a very small outline in white. The inset $ and outset arrow were just constructed from a $ character used first as a cut-out (see path tools) and from rectangle shapes converted to paths and combined, some tweaking was needed to make sure these inset/outset elements looked right and didn't overflow behind the foreground parts. The gradient tool was used to add the same gradient to all faces. A highly blurred four pointed star was used to add a faint blur shadow beneath the box.

It's not amazing, but it's not bad either IMO.

It's laid up as a letter header, but I think the logo would work alongside the team name too (ie equal heights for the box and the M glyph).
