These are really great-looking logos. I’m never really good at this but I’m going to give it a try because you really have a great tutorial.

The tutorial is by Scott Kelby – I just chanced across it and realised that it would solve a lot of worry by those of us who are not professional designers.

Sometimes I have a 30 minute deadline to bust out a postcard or something. This would be great for someone who has very little time to come up with something that looks decent.

A logo is a graphic symbol or icon that is central to the identity of the company.

Simple but very useful tutorials. It is important that the header is personalized because it will be the identification of the website.

I like the brookline city zoo. The effect of the dawn plus the deserted place where these creatures are walking. Yeah it’s the typical scenery that I usually seen on tv but still appealing.
