Been using GIMP to process screenshots today. that is coming along very nicely
I tried using Gimp to work on a logo, but it is more image processor than drawing tool. So went to OpenOfficeDraw to draw a logo and it has very basic drawing ability. Did well enough drawing a 4 color quadranted circle then exported to Gimp for refining the logo.. not happy. I was wanting to add a black outline around the logo and the crossbars of the quadrants but Gimp doesn't have that tool. I suppose I could find a Gimp add-on that covers that or find ANOTHER freeware tool that can do that.
I googled about and found a pretty good online logo generator that I did this Mystic WiFi logo with. Screen capped the page, extracted the logo with paint then did a little cleanup with Gimp. I think it will take a bit of time to find just the right graphic that captures "mystical" and "geocaching". I would like to keep the Vistumbler feel to the text of the banner by using the same fonts you are using with Vistumbler.. will that be okay?
I am considering using shades of green as the color theme for the Mysticache page. I think that would be nice.
It has often been said that the most time consuming phase of software development is documentation... Definitly a truism.
