Sorry once I had my logo I sent of to other things! While an argument could be made that it was substantially changed so that a copyright no longer applied; yes I did buy the rights to the original. Thanks for all the help! Jim

I just found this and with a little fudging and blurring it worked pretty good I think. I could have never done this by hand! http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/freebies/5-dust-scratches-textures-for-photoshop-illustrator The guy shook out an old burlap bag over his scanner so all the dust and hairs fell out and then scanned it. What's the chances of finding that? Got to love the Internet!

I'll try it. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me all of that! Jim

First of all I'm an engineer and no graphics expert. I found a patent ink stamp logo on the internet and modified it a lot for a company logo (see attached). Being made to look like a hand ink stamp it's supposed to look scratched/distressed. But my new parts are crisp and clear. I need them to match. But when I try to do it by hand it looks horrible. I'm looking through ALL of the plugin's (I'm only through the C's...) to see what I can find that might do it... I looked up stamp, distressed, scratched, weathered, etc. Any help in telling me how to do it or even doing it for me would be GREATLY appreciated from my company of one! Eventually it will be rotated about 10-15 degrees to look more like it was freehand stamped. And any other input on the logo itself is welcome as I'm no artist! Thanks, Jim Taylor Maryland Heights, MO
